Hey Finders! ⚡️ I’m reviewing Sally Beauty’s COL-LAB eyeshadow palette. This affordable eyeshadow palette includes 8 beautiful shades for only $14.99 & reminds me so much of my NARS Skin Deep Palette (you can buy 4 of these for the price of one NARS palette…)
Would you buy this palette? What do you think of the look I created? LMK in the comments ⬇️
Hey Finders! Who here uses a powder foundation?? I was curious to try this J.Cat Beauty Aquasurance Foundation since it claims to be medium to full coverage, hydrating & can be applied dry or wet. I’m also featuring J.Cat’s $7.99 eye shadow palette in ‘Red Carpet Premiere’. Watch as I walk you through my look & disclose the best ways to apply both affordable products! I hope you enjoy this video! If you did, please give it a ‘thumbs up’ 🙂
First thing’s first; I love the packaging. It screams summer & lemonade & anything happy, bright & light. Please note: I tested this palette out twice before this review/filming of my YouTube video. You can purchase your own palette, here.
I started off my Lemonade journey by swatching each color on my bare arm. Hardly any color appeared so I primed my arm with my Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer. I’ve included a Maybelline campaign photo (source: Amazon) and my photo (sorry it’s awful LOL) for reference, below:
The shadows appeared after application, however, I could tell each varied in formula as some swatched chalkier/lighter/less pigmented than others. This may sound bad off the bat but I’ve found a lot of palettes have different consistencies in their shadows & not all of the colors were chalky so I was confident I could find a way to make this palette work! Plus, a swatch is usually helpful in identifying quality but is not always accurate as shadows may apply better on the eye with the use of a brush.
Here’s the breakdown:
PROS:
Colors are fun! This is a beautiful palette for anyone looking to test out the colorful waters.
Shadows are buildable & blendable as long as you have patience & are willing to put in the work!
There was minimum to no fallout on my face after shadow application
There is a good balance of matte and shimmer shades – perfect in achieving multiple looks!
Shadow pans are a nice size – perfect for any size brush/finger/etc.
Shadows lasted 10 hours and did not fade or crease! (be sure to set w/ setting spray)
CONS:
Shadows are chalky and dry – left my eyelids feeling tight HOWEVER this could be useful for people who have oily eyelids
Shadows can blend into almost nothing if not enough product is used/blended too hard
Significant fallout in the pan – could cause you to go through shades faster
You get 12 shadows for only $13.99!
TIPS:
If you have dryer skin make sure to moisturize your eyes before any application
Be sure to prime your eyes! Use an eyeshadow primer – concealer works but not as well IMO! This will help bring out the pigmentation of each shadow
Craving more pigment? Apply shadows with a damp shadow brush
Overall: I don’t absolutely love this palette but I’m excited to see a new, fun palette available in the drugstore! I will totally use this palette until there is nothing left of it, however, it is not a low-maintenance palette by any means – you need to put in work to blend out each shadow so that your completed look is not chalky or dusty. The colors are so fun & in the end, I really love the look I created.
