Description:
This product is a 5 pan eye shadow by Rimmel London. It comes in 4 different variations, Brixton Brown, Foggy Grey, Pinkadilly Circus, and Golden Eye, which is the one I purchased and the one shown in the picture.
Review:
This is definitely one of my favorite eye shadow palettes. I first bought this palette so I could try out Youtuber Maya Mia's Smoldering Smokey Eye Tutorial, and it was perfect because it had nearly all the shades I needed for the look. You can find the tutorial here.
The palette worked wonderfully well for the look, and when I noticed how good the quality was, I began to use it to create my own looks too. The best shade on this palette is by the far the gold shade, which is extremely well pigmented and packs on a lots of color at once, even though is it a bit more loose than most other shadows, so you need to be careful if applying it somewhere like the inner corner, and if you are blending it into another color. The other colors are alright, though I feel that the shade beneath the black looks a bit too much like the color of lead when applied to the lid. The lightest silver color is probably the least pigmented, but that's typical of light shadows. Overall, the palette is very good and great quality for the price, and all the colors are well pigmented, which is one of the most important things to me.
Worth the Money?
I bought this palette for 6.99 pounds at Boots in the UK, and it is the same price at Superdrug. I would say this is definitely worth the money, because some higher end brands would probably charge you a lot more for the same quality.
How I Use It:
As I mentioned before, I use this palette to create a smoldering smokey eye, which I learned from Youtuber Maya Mia. Sometimes I also use the black and gold shades to create a golden smokey eye. This is definitely my go-to palette when I am not feeling too creative and want to do something relatively simple and quick.
