Nvey Eco Eye shadow Palette

If your looking into more organic/natural, ethically minded makeup brands, Nvey Eco fits the bill. They are certified Organic by the NATRUE. The products are made in Australia and do not contain parabens, Talc, SLS or derivatives of SLS chemicals, propylene glycol, mineral or petroleum oils, petrochemicals or synthetic fragrances. The products are not tested on animals.
In a moment of frivolity I ordered one of their eye palettes. I went for palette #6 (£35) as it looked like it contained the most neutral sort of shades.
Its contains: #170 charcoal with a tiny bit of sparkle, #171 dusty satin finish purple, #168 shimmery peach, #172 shimmery fawn and #173 moss with a tiny bit of sparkle.

The shadows contain chamomile and jojoba, and are meant to "create a smooth and soft formula, excellent for dry and sensitive skin". However I find the texture (apart from the peach) quite dry, most noticeably with the charcoal and moss shade (in the swatches this is really apparent with the moss shade).
Pigmentation is more subtle. They blend together quite well and with an eye primer they last the day with a minimal colour fade after roughly 7 hours.

Though I can't help wishing all the shades had the same texture of the peach, I do really like the looks that can be achieve with this palette as the colours work extremely well together. I'm always interested in finding new to me brands with promise and this is a brand I am going to explore more.

I bought this from naturisimo.com

    Shame! Hate it when the textures vary.

      Hi Vintage Makeup,
      Yes me too. I do really like the colours though and I like the brand's ethos :)

    That does look like a beautiful combination. I have a lilac/peach/cool brown quad from Lunasol Autumn that I find very flattering (of course containing all the evil stuff...)

      Hi Kate,
      They are not colours I would have thought to pair together so I was pleased they worked well.
      Well I think most of my stuff probably contains the "bad" stuff, but I am trying to look into the more natural brands ;)

    i ve been using nvey eco products for about 2 years ...all my makeup foundation,tinted moisturizer,powder,eyeliner,mascara,eyeshadow,lipsticks and many others from this brand and i have this palette in 6 as well ...i love their products and pigmentation looks good on my skin and the fact that they are organic makes me buy them though a little bit pricey in my country ...

    In a moment of frivolity indeed!!! Haha, had to laugh when I read that! Great respect for going cruelty-free, hopefully one day brands like this one will be the norm. Pity about the texture, but it does look like an interesting colour combo: look, please!! (you know I love those!) Any interesting lippie stuff from the brand? xxx
    PS: happy 400!!
    PPS: Why is it that when I start blogging again I get an overload of work plus my son gets ill again?? Poor poor me ;)

      Hi Anna,
      On no at your little man being ill again! I really hope he gets better soon and the extra work calms down.
      Well my dear I did try and do a look to put with this post, 36 pictures I took and they were all off, the light here at the moment is rubbish.
      I think I will pick up some more from this brand, just working out what to get ;)
      Thanks for the happy 400, assuming I don't take a dip I'll do a giveaway in a few weeks time, just need to decide what to get xxx
