The shadows of this palette are rather unique since their texture is not really powdery but definitely not completely creamy either. It is something right in between a regular powder eyeshadow and a cream shadow, which makes them more pigmented and provides us with a long-lasting, water-resistant formula.
As usual, I swatched these first on bare skin and then on top of NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk, but to be honest, I couldn't see any difference. They are highly pigmented both with and without a base and the ultra-light formula makes them easy to apply smoothly and even easier to blend.
Paranormal - dark, rose pink with a rather subtle shimmer.
Aura - warm peachy copper with a golden sheen.
Possession - cool, pistachio green.
Trance - soft shimmery violet
My favorite in the bunch is definitely Possession, but Aura (which I thought I wouldn't like that much) was also a positive surprise. Paranormal is quite a cool color and I can imagine it looking amazing with gold and black! As for Trance it is the most boring of these shades. It is a pretty color, alright, but we have seen this purple shade a million times before.
Pros: The eyeshadows are very easy to work with, have great color payoff and a very pleasant texture with a water-resistant finish.
Cons: The lightweight formula easily leads to overdosage, overdosage leads to creasing, creasing leads to hate and hate leads to the Dark Side... So watch out, ok?
Price: £34
Overall this is quite an exciting palette, especially if you're into pastels, and if you want to try eyeshadows with a texture that you (probably) haven't encountered before you should definitely get it.
I really hope that this review has been helpful and that you all will have a lovely day! :)
I'm a sucker for good reds, especially shimmery ones so this might be right up my alley!
SvaraRaderaI think you would love this one then! :) It is supposed to be dark pink though, but I'd say it's more of a raspberry red.
RaderaI own this one and really like the textures but it doesn't last long on me. After putting them on, I see them fade away within a few hours. I don't have particularly oily lids therefore don't use primer with cream shadows. How are their longevity for you?
SvaraRaderaI didn't have any problem with the longevity but they did crease a bit on me, due to overdosing. I used Two Faced Shadow Insurance as a primer though.
