MUA Heaven & Earth Palette
Monday, February 20, 2012
Hey,
So I told you guys a while ago that I purchased the MUA palette in Heaven & Earth. It's a gorgeous array of frosted neutrals perfect for everyday wear. Every colour in this palette is frosted, so this may be a problem for those matte lovers, but do not freit! MUA produces a selection of individual matte colours for only £1 each! Bargain!
The palette comes with 12 amazing eyeshadows and a double sided spounge tip applicator. The packaging if pretty flimsy, in face mine is already partially broken, but for the price you're paying, its still a pretty sweet deal.
As you can see above, all 12 of the shades have great pigmentation and there is a good distribution between cool, warm, dark, medium and light shades. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how good ALL of the shades were. And how much does this magical palette cost? £4!!! How amazing is that!??! Especially given that their individual shadows (albeit larger), cost £1 each.
So at 4 quid each, there must be a few downsides to these palettes? I'm not going to lie to you, there are a few. Firstly, be prepared for a bit of fallout! Of course, nothing a makeup wipe and a bit of foundation couldn't solve. Secondly, they do tend to fade, even with an eyeshadow base. I would say that they will just about last 5ish hours with a base, so be aware of that (of course it all depends on your skin!) Lastly, as I said, the packaging is a bit flimsy, but honestly, for this price, what do you expect?
So whats the verdict?
MY RATING: 4/5
Great everyday palette, cheaper than chips and packed with gorgeous, wearable colours. I'm definitely going to try and pick up a few more of these!!
