Colors by Foschini Eyeshadow Review
Yesterday on social I shared swatches of the Colors by
Foschini Eyeshadow Palette, I must say I was pretty impressed. I bought the
eyeshadows sometime back in January and swatched the nude ones and wasn't that
happy... let me do a quickly review for you and then you will make up your mind
on it.
The claim:
I don't see it on the Foschini website and there is no claim
also anywhere but I will just stick with the general eyeshadow rule, which is
probably great pigmentation, longevity and minimal fallout.
The product:
The eyeshadows come with six matte shades and six shimmery
shades. They retail from R39.99
My experience
Bought the eyeshadows to expand my eyeshadow collection back
in January, swatch’d the matte shades and I was not happy with the swatches and
I threw the shadows away(to the back of the my drawer), I was looking for a reddish-brown
shimmery shade two weeks back and boom this palette had it and I swatched it once with hopes that it would pick up and
booom the shade came through nicely.The matte shades I'm not happy with but the shimmery ones
omg somgaga I'm sold.
So if you are looking for an affordable eyeshadow palette
with great pigmentation and good staying power.Get this palette
P.S. You can also get this palette with the shimmery shades
only, which is great news.

Avon True Matte Eyeshadow Quad Au Naturale Review
 |
| Avon True Matte Eyeshadow Quad Au Naturale |
The product:
The Avon True Matte Eyeshadow Quad Au Naturale comes in a beautiful black mini casing, has four (hence quad) matte shades and the texture is really silky and but great for matte shades.
The shades are as follows: 1 - warm nude 2 - warm taupe light brown 3 - neutral chocolate medium brown. 4 - dark chocolate cool brown.

I like that the Avon Eyeshadow Quads come in a very gorgeous black glossy casing however because the range comes in different shades it is rather difficult to pin-point which colour is which when they are all stacked out, but I ain't complaining alot, because I like the black casing.
The shadows have a great texture, are buildable, blend really well and have minimal fall out.
My verdict:
If you are looking for great matte eyeshadows that will give you that neutral/smokey eye these are the eyeshadows for you.
Tomorrow I will be sharing a Valentines Day FOTD using this eyepalette, please stay tuned.

HD Nude Eyeshadow Palettes Review
 |
| HD Nude Eyeshadow Palette 01 |
This will be a strange post because I bought these 3 eyeshadow palettes at Clicks for R35 from R99 what is stranger is that I can’t seem to find a page for them or site, the Clicks website does not even have them on their site. Ooh well I guess it’s one of their in store brands and there is no need to have them advertised.
So I bought the eyeshadows during the January sales, I got all 3 for a reasonable price and I get to extend my make-up collection especially eyeshadows because I really don’t use them a lot, I always stick to the nudes. Another thing that I wanted to try this year are different eyeshadow shades and play around with them more on my make-up looks.
I hope you enjoy my mini review

The good:
They are affordable, just wait for the sales then you will
get them at a ridiculous price. The packaging is also great, pale pink I’m not
complaining.
The bad:
The swatches look good on my arms, because they are a lot
lighter on my face so the color payoff on the lids is not that great. Tip, you
will need really good eyeshadow brushes that will pick up the shadows then the color
payoff will be great.
The ugly:
The palettes have 13 shades each, however most of the colors
tend to be on repeat throughout all the eyeshadow palettes and most of the colors
are on the shimmery side of things.
2-3 shades did stick out for me on each palette though.
The verdict:
So if you are a beginner in the makeup world these palettes
are for you as they will teach you how to blend, mix and match shades without breaking
the bank.
Hope you enjoyed my review.
Till tomorrow
