If you guys did not know, I just love palettes! Anything that comes in a palette form is on my wish list. I just adore the fact that they are compact, value for money and uber convinient. No matter how adorable the packaging may be, I am bound to depot them.Hence the purchase. This time around I got two eyeshadow palettes, a Gosh Quad and the infamous NYX Runway Palette.
Talking about the Gosh Quad first, this was my first time with them. I had always wondered how they would turn out to be as they look so tempting in their sleek case and uber funky colors.
I got the quad in 48 Grand Passion. They are all shimmery pastel colors with a pearly finish. The pearly green is something I did not have hence I really like it. Also the taupey brown color is highly similar to Mac's Satin Taupe which might come pretty handy as a dupe/backup.
Overall, the pigmentation is not the best you can find and you need to pile on a bit for the color to show up but I like it for everyday subtle looks where it gives the right amount of sheen and a nice wash of color. This was £7 I believe.
Coming to the NYX Runway Palette, I had a lot of expectations from it due to the hype. Its supposed to be an amalgamation of NYX's best colors. I got the one in Catwalk as I am a fan of everyday neutral colors and can't get enough of them.
The shimmery-pearly colors are absolutely great! I always am on the look for great base colors which are warm toned and you have a beautiful selection of those in this palette. I find this much more economical then investing in base colors woth £10 each from Mac when they are not even that unique!
However there are some satin-matte colors like the peach and the pink which are absolutely bland and dont show up no matter how much you apply. I have certainly seen better pigmentation from NYX's single eyeshadows, so this could have been better.
Overall, I do not mind it for the value which was around $8 but I wont be getting more of these palettes and would rather custom make my eyeshadow palettes or invest in NYX's single shadows which are gorgeous.
Do you like palettes? I would love know your favourites :)
