The colour payoff of all the shades is really good, and I like that there is not much shimmer, yet still a good mix of finishes. Apart from the deep brown,the others shades are smooth though I would say the mattes do adhere quickly so aren't as easy to blend as the other finishes. Wear time is not the best as even with a primer I do find these fade quite a bit by mid day.

The collection also includes one Marvelous Moxie lipstick in Make Your Move (£16). The lipstick has a creamy feel and a slightly heavy texture, I don't find it long lasting particularly.
The colour is a really pretty natural pinky brown with a slight sheen/shimmer finish.

My overall thoughts are nice but nothing outstanding, of the two I recommend the palette as its a good price for what you get and would be a good choice for those who usually find natural toned shadows pull very warm, as the majority of shades are neutral, leaning cool.
I bought these from Boots.
Hey Clare, nice haul. Even though I get excited over brights, it is the neutrals I wear the most often. These days I get excited over neutrals too. I agree about the mattes, BM mattes are not the best. I love that lip colour, so very pretty.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think I'll stay clear of their mattes in the future :)
DeleteI do like the colour of the lipstick, though I do have quite a lot of pinky/browns already :)
I never gave BM a look but really heard raves about their eyeshadows. And I love those neutrals - they look so good esp without shimmers at all!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't use to pay much attention to them either but since they have updated their shadows,lipsticks etc I think they are well worth a look now :)
