Review: Palladio Crushed Metallic Shadows! (Swatches + Look!)

Awesome Formula!

Hey guys! It's been a whiiiiiiile since my last post! No excuses, just life happened haha but I'm back. Lots of new drugstore releases are catching my eye so stay tuned for some future reviews and looks. Today I have four of the Palladio Crushed Metallic Shadows to share with you and just a heads up... they are fabulous! :-)
I haven't tried any Palladio products before but I'm definetely missing out because these are knockouts! I'm all about an ultra metallic shadow and this Crushed line is just that. I purchased mine at Sally's Beauty for a great deal, originally they are $6 each.

These are pressed pigments that leave a gorgeous foiled look on the eye. They are so smooth which is what impressed me the most because using them was so simple. I start off by using a brush to lay the color down where I want it and then I use my finger to build the color up to get the full intensity. The color stays put all day without creasing which is another plus! Below is a look that I created using Meteor all over the lid. I love the outcome and how easy they are to work with!

Bottom line: I love this line! I'm super impressed by the formula and if these aren't your colors there's more to choose from. The price is great and I love that they are accessible. I've been wearing these nonstop and pairing them with my all matte palettes. Definetely give them a try! :-)

Review: City Color Cosmetics Shimmer Shadows!

Pigmentation On Point!

City Color Cosmetics released a new line of shadows called Shimmer Shadows and they are absolutely amazing! There's tons of colors to choose from and I have six to share with you today! I'm super impressed by the formula and they're only $6.99 each which is not bad at all. If you love metallic shadows these are a must try! :-)

The formula is unique, it's a cream-powder hybrid with intense color payoff. The shadow is super smooth and glides on easily! Over primer they don't crease and they last a long while, close to all day. I love how they apply, there's little to any fall out and they blend effortlessly.

I have Bubble Bath on the top left, Pharaoh on the top right and Cheers To Life on the bottom left. Gorgeous neutral, bronze shades that would suite everybody! I used Pharaoh paired with my Kat Von D Monarch palette for warm golden look and it came out lovely! You can see that look towards the bottom! :-)

On the top left I have It's A Boy!, All Eyes On Me on the top right and It's A Girl! on the bottom left. I definetely wanted to try a few pops of color and I'm super satisfied with these. That blue is so vibrant... amazing! The burgundy shade is going to look stunning during the upcoming fall season, I can't wait!

Here are two looks using some of these shadows! I love how foiled and metallic they look! You honestly don't need to wet them to get them this intense but if you choose to OMG... so pretty!

Bottom line: I love the this formula! Metallic shadows are my favorite and I highly recommend these if you also obsess over metallics. They remind me of the Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadows.... I'll need to compare them. Expect a post if they're a dupe soon! ;-) In the meantime make sure to give these a try because they are totally worth it!

Review: Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadows! ( Synergy & Raw Power!)

New Obsession!

I prefer my shadows in palettes because you get more bang for your buck....but these Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadows are worth every penny! :-) My obsession is quickly multiplying so stay tuned for an upcoming post on some more shades I hauled haha. Today I'll be sharing my thoughts on Synergy and Raw Power so let's get into it!

The Metal Crush line released fairly recently and there's a total of 10 shades on Sephora's website. They're pretty much a highly pigmented metallic shadow which is right up my alley. They are so saturated in color that the tiniest bit goes a long way. The shadow pan is larger than most shadows which I truly appreciate as well!

Synergy and Raw Power were the shades that spoke to me immediately. How gorgeous are these shades?! They feel so smooth and there's very minimal fall out when applying them. They can be used wet or dry which is cool too!

 Here's a close up of the shades. Let's get into the swatches (the best part!).

*jumping up and down* Yes. This is how they swatch! They are gorgeous! They go on so smooth and they blend so easily. I really don't have anything negative to say about these. Maybe the price... because I want them all but I would be poor afterwards haha.

Here's a quick look I came up with when I first got them. This is them while dry. stay tuned to see the other shades I hauled worn wet (so intense!). 

Bottom line: Obsessed... I'm just obsessed with these! I'm infatuated with these shades because I'm a warm-toned lover but I also love that the line has a nice mix of colors so I can step out of my comfort zone. These are similar to a pressed pigment with how much color payoff you get but without the mess. What more can you ask for? :-)
