Rituals Double Jade eyeshadow duo

Having been impressed with the wear and texture, I picked up another eyeshadow from the Dutch brand Rituals. I went for Double Jade (£14.90), which is a combo that is slightly out of my comfort zone.
It pairs a khaki brown and a lime green. I can safely say I don’t have anything like this green in my collection. The shadows feel smooth, blend and last well and both shades have good pigmentation.
I applied the colours lightly and sheered them out but you can go for a more dramatic look if desired.
Although Rituals is not a brand I feel the need to rush out and buy everything from, I always manage to pick up something when I go to their store, they have a wide range of Home/Body care products and cosmetics and there is a nice ambiance to the store.

I bought this from a Rituals store but they are also stocked in John Lewis.

    Those colors look lovely on you. I'd never think to pair lime green and khaki, but they work so well with our eyes. I like the subtle gleam. Well done again!

    Hi Zuzu's Petals,
    Thank you :)It turned out more wearable that I thought it would, I can't say that I tend towards greens normally.

    Hello Vintage Makeup,
    Thank you, I have been wearing a lot of neutrals recently so its nice to add a bit of colour :)
