The colour palette is mostly neutral with a few more colourful shades (Greens, Berries); the shadows come in Matte, Satin, Shimmer and Metallic finishes, of these I would say the Metallic are not as smooth and I think work better as liners.

The shadows I bought are (pictured above, top row to bottom row L-R):
Tempting Mocha (cool toned shimmery taupe)
Enchanted Forest (neutral toned complex slightly silvered green)
Polished Platinum (shimmery silver grey)
Sepia Sand (gentle satin beige/brown)
Midnight Star (dark navy, although this is the metallic formula I’d say that the finish is more sparkle/glitter)
Sugar Biscuit (luminous champagne)
Swatches L-R:Sepia Sand,Tempting Mocha, Enchanted Forest,Polished Platinum,Sugar Biscuit, Midnight Star

This has definitely changed my mind about Estee Lauder and I’ll be interested to see what else they bring out under Tom Pecheux.
I really like the look of Enchanted Forest and Polished Platinum. I shan't say anything of Tempting Mocha ;). There's been a few collections from EL that I've been interested in this year. I'm looking forward to Blue Dahlia too.
ReplyDeleteEL are really lifting their game aren't they?! the swatches look really good :D
ReplyDeleteOk, STOP going into Boots for your lunch!!!! What's wrong with Pret-a-Manger, eh? Better yet, pack your lunch because, frankly, I don't trust you!
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, Enchanted Mocha looks like it's crying to come home with me...
Have a great week girl!

The Boots bonus points thing always gets me too. These do look nice, am quite tempted to have a look myself.
ReplyDeletewow! I love "Enchanted Forest", this kind of green color always looks nice on my eyes. ^-^
ReplyDeleteHi Jane,
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in the Blue Dahlia collection as well, the quad has been on quite a few blogs and seems to have gone down well, typical really, think I'm safe from a brand and then this happens :)
Hi Em,
Hopefully this is the start of things to come, they are very easy to wear shades.
Hi Nina,
Pret-a-Manger, bit lavish for lunch, I have to get cheap sandwiches so I can afford all the pretty makeup!! (although I do get my coffee from Pret....) I don't trust myself, all reason leaves me when I go out on my own :) x
Hi Grace,
Yes, I keep telling myself the points was like getting an eyeshadow for free, just glad I like them all as I would have been really peed!
Hello Beautyontheway,
I do think Enchanted forest is one of the stand outs from the range, a lot of greens are really warm on me so its nice to find one that is neutral.
