L.A colors 16 eyeshadow palette review- Shade Smokin, Review, EOTD, Swatches- India



Although I am very specific about the products I choose for my eye area, some palettes make me skip the guilty feeling and lash over them. This cute palette is one of them.

Ever Since I got my hands on my evergreen favorite Urban Naked palette, I have wanted to try many other palettes. But it's not easy to beat the standards set by Urban Naked. I love nude eye shadows the most, but for the sake of experimenting, I wanted to try bright colors.

After reading a few reviews, I decided to give this palette a go. I got it from Jabong at discount at 604 Rs. Read on for the full review.


MRP : 750 INR (exclusive of taxes)
Ingredients:

My Experience:

I first applied it with a base from the same kit, but the shades seem too powdery. There was a lot of fall out and I didn't like the fact that the shimmer from the shadows on my lid was coming and settling on under eye area! Next time I tried it after applying an eye gel, the colors settled well and there was no fall out either. So I concluded that these worked best with a wet base.
Most of the colors in this palette are really beautiful and insanely pigmented! All shades are shimmery but not too shimmery. However, because of the shimmer, none of this palette color is for office wear. But for parties and events, this palette should really be given a try.





I haven't used any base beneath these colors. And I loved how beautiful they looked.
But I also realized that I am really not into dark shades. So I will stick to hoarding nude palettes!


Pros:
1. Pigmentation
2. right amount of shimmer
3. palette has a balance of shades from highlighter to lid colors.
4. Easy to use
5. Beautiful range of colors. (Seriously, hard to find a range of workable colors all in one palette that too at this price!)
6. Very affordable

Cons:
1. Shimmer spreads under eye area and around, so need to be careful.
2. are powdery without a primer.
3. Availability may be an issue.
4. Contains parabens
5. Texture is not velvety smooth (Not that I am complaining, You can't get that at this price.)

Overall Verdict:
If you love jewel tones, this palette is really a steal. 

Will I recommend it?
Yes.

What's your favorite Eye Palette ? I am going to hunt The naked heat palette next. What about you?

Update: Hunted some Morphe palettes instead. The texture, the price and color range everything is so good that they are literally the game changer palettes. Must try and definitely recommended. Especially the 35 F palette (will review it soon)


With love,
Neha
