Violet Voss Fun Sized Eye Shadow Palette Le Macaron

This palette has some super, bold colours in it to add a pop of colour to looks. It has to be used with other eyeshadows to create a full look but considering I picked it up from Beauty Bay for £9 that’s fine. All the colours are shimmers so I expected them to be a bit more difficult to use. But saying that I just couldn’t get them to work for me even trying a few different techniques. There were inconsistencies between the quality of the shadows. Some were silky and some were powdery. The light ones barely showed up and the dark ones were just a bit muddy. The ones that worked the best were the mid colours: brown, orange and pink and these are not the colours that attracted me to the palette. If I would have paid full price I would have been very disappointed.

I don't tend to wear much colourful eyeshadow, so this palette is ideal! I can pull this out and use it alongside my other palettes if I'm looking for a more colourful look. I love how tiny and easy to store it is, especially for a palette that I don't use on a daily basis. The shimmers are all stunning but they work best with a glitter glue since there can be a little fallout. However, the fallout is worth it for the payoff you get. Some of the shades are more metallic whereas others are more glittery, but I like the variety in finishes. You can't really get a full look using this palette alone, so I wouldn't recommend this if you're looking for a stand-alone palette. I gave this a 4/5 because on the packaging, the pretty rainbow blends in with a brown colour which I think is kinda ugly... I know this is hella petty. No complaints otherwise and would recommend!
