If not, then this is just a quick review on one of the ELF products I received as part of a free gift when I purchased a few things from the ELF website! (and go watch my video!)
So I'm just going to go straight into the review!
So here is the pretty impressive eyeshadow palette, and as the title says, it contains 100 eyeshadows! (both mattes and shimmers), and when I found out this product retails at £15, I was quite impressed! However I was yet to try out the quality of the eyeshadows which is obviously the most important part.
So I did the pain-staking task of swatching all 100 eyeshadow colours when I had unpacked this product, and here are the images...
So as you can see in the images I swatched two rows of colours at a time and pieced the photos together, however when I finished this, I noticed that a lot of the colours are very similar, and I mean VERY similar, almost identical in some cases however there are a large range of colours still in this palette so I'm not going to complain too much.
In some cases, I was pretty unimpressed with the pigmentation of the colours, especially the more shimmery colours, however there were a range of colours I tested that had an AMAZING colour payoff and these were mostly the matte shades, which I guess actually works in my favour as I wear a lot more matte eyeshadows than shimmer. But overall as you can see in the image above, a lot of the colours turned out really nice and do look quite wearable.
Obviously I swatched the colours above using my fingers, so I then tried out some of my preferred colours with brushes and tried out a few eye looks with them, and to be honest, I was a bit more disappointed with the colour payoff when using a brush, as the colour had to really be packed on before it looked as bright as the finger swatches. But either way I pulled off a couple of nice eye looks and for £15 for 100 eyeshadows, you can't go too wrong especially as this palette probably has a lot of colours you won't already have (especially in my case!)
So summing this review up, I would say that this palette would be great for someone starting out with eyeshadows and perhaps wants to try out new colours without spending a tonne of money, but for someone wanting more professional looking pigmented eyeshadows, I wouldn't recommend this palette as you'll probably be unimpressed with half of the colours. But like I said, I received this as a free gift from ELF so I can't really complain!
I hope you enjoyed this review!
