The shadows are smooth and easy to blend and the colour payoff is really good. I adore these types of shades and whilst not necessarily unique, I don’t think I have exact dupes for them. This is an extremely wearable palette and you can either go for a soft natural look or smoky eye. I was in two minds about buying this but am really glad I did as I can see that I will get a lot of use out of it.
The palette is quite compact, about 8 x6.2 cm and comes with a good sized mirror and mini brush, I don’t have any negatives about it and I think this would make a good present.I bought this from Zuneta, if you require further temptation they have some nice videos of the collection on their site (product application guides) http://www.zuneta.com/shop-by-product/gifts-and-collections/becca-fallen-angel/becca-enigma-palette-eyeshadows.html/
Edited to add photo, not the best but hopefully gives you an idea, Silesia to line, Armure on lid and Surah in the crease.
arrgh, I keep reading about this winter edition palette and I'm afraid I can't resist much longer... would love to see how it looks on you :) have a great night, Sam xx
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really nice neutral palette.
ReplyDeleteSorry, been away for too long as usual, currently feverish on the sofa! A lovely palette indeed, I was tempted to get it, especially because of Surah, which looks very much the kind of shade I'm going for at the moment (or I would be going for if I didn't look and feel like death warmed up :( ). Instead I opted for something else from the collection...but I'm getting a bit nervous...I ordered it from the UK about 2 weeks ago and still no sign of it, argh!!! Give us an EOTD!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteHaha, commenting again just to let you know that the word I had to type in in order to post my comment was "swinest"...no, seriously!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I can't get enough of warm greys, they are just so flattering on everybody.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely and I will admit to being very tempted. I watched those videos and ended up getting Belize dual ended pencil. I was very naughty and got it from ebay. A very unusual move for me! Anyway, I can't make it look like that it does in the video at all! It moves all over the place and is very creasy. I probably should have saved my cash towards this palette.

This is gorgeous on your skintone Replica!! When I first saw it online I was so intrigued by the entire collection, I wanted it immediately, but decided to wait for swatches to appear online. After seeing some swtaches I felt it may be too ashy for my deep skintone (but its so pretty on you!)-- when Becca had their F&F sale I got the new Belize line + illuminate pencil instead. Have you played around with this palette yet? Are the demi-mattes completely matte?
ReplyDeleteI use and love the shimmering skin perfector but am super impressed with the beach tints, I got the watermelon and a tiny sample of grapefruit, both are lovely and unlike any other product I've ever tried!
Hope everything is well with you!
:)
Hi Sam,
ReplyDeleteI’ve just posted a close up of the shadows applied, not a great pic, but with all this bad light I am having trouble getting good quality pictures at the moment. Hope that helps.
Hi FunnyFace beauty,
Yes, I think it would work for anyone.
Hi Anna,
Oh no, sorry to hear you are feeling ill, I hope you get it all out of the way before Christmas! I do think you will like this palette, I added a little pic of it applied on one eye. 2 weeks seems an awful long time, where did you order it from ?
LOL at swinest, some of those words are so bizarre, I can’t tell you how many times I get them wrong though and have to keep re-trying, thats not good is it! x
Hi Jen,
It is lovely, so great to put on when you can’t decide what makeup you want to wear.
Hi Jane,
Oh, I was going to get that Belize pencil, glad I didn’t know, does it move all over the place if you use a base under it ?
Hi Lakshmi,
Do you have the same issues with the Belize pencil like Jane above you does? I would say there were more completly matte than demi, although I may have to re-check this in better light as I am sure Becca has them listed as demi.
I've not tried the shimmering skin perfector, might have to look into that, I do like the beach tint I have, I just don't reach for it that much for some reason, might be because I have too much stuff and certain things seem to get hidden ;) x
Hi Replica! I like the look you came up with, very subtle and pretty! I can't say I've had the same problems as Jane with the Belize pencil, because I haven't worn just that yet. I did find both the pencils to be very creamy and smudgable though.. I guess I should lay down a proper base or set them with a powder eyeshadow.
ReplyDeleteI know that problem, your pic is fine! My camera is really screwed up even though it's a Canon. Don't know why I can't get sharp pictures of the actual colours... it's annoying!
ReplyDeleteYou blended the shades very well, I can see that crystal clear :) Have a great night, Sam xx
I'm sure I did use a base but I know it wasn't TFSI. I need to try a few things but as it was moving as soon as I applied, I think even with a base it's going to move after a couple of hours. As Lakshmi says, the texture is very creamy.
ReplyDeleteThe 'purple' end is also black and I've struggled to see the violet at all. I need to have a play with it tomorrow and will be reporting back on the results.

Hi Lakshmi,
ReplyDeleteThanks ;) if you do use the pencil on its own I'll be interested to hear if its creases on you x
Hi Sam,
Thank you, I am getting closer to buying one of those daylight lamps just for taking makeup pictures.. is that wrong ;)
Hi Jane,
Just saw your post, we must find a way to make it work for you! x
Desperate to get my hands on this palette. Great swatches! x
ReplyDeleteIt is such a great, handy to have palette, so easy to wear :)
