Hey Guys, Today's post is another review on Smashbox X Vlada collection. This is the first time I have purchased a few items from a collection. This palette retails for £26 and is available from their Smashbox website and Boots. This palette is however limited edition for summer 2018 so I recommend snapping this up quickly before it's gone for good! I think the packaging for this eyeshadow palette is beautiful, just like the rest of the collection it is rose gold. The top of the case is textured and has a 3D print which when moved changes. The top is quite thin but has a gorgeous mirror on the inside. It also has magnetic closing which I love! The lid doesn't open fully which can be annoying when your working with the palette. This is definitely small enough to be travel friendly and is light too, perfect to take on holiday's. Above we have swatches of the 2 matte shadows and 6 shimmers. The left is with a flash and the right is without. The actual shades and their formulas; I feel like they are of an extremely high quality. They are like butter to touch, so velvety. They're extremely easy to apply and they blend beautifully., with such little effort. Very easy to use. I love the variety of shades in the palette. The mattes are perfect for both transition and darkening the crease. The metallic are absolutely beautiful. The 2 shadows across the top of the palette which do have the description of being base colours, which I don't agree with, are absolutely beautiful and even make a gorgeous highlighter. This palette is a fantastic palette for all, however because of it's amazing formula and how easy it is to blend out it would be great for beginners. The palette is bunched into 2 quad's the left is slightly warmer and the right has cooler shades. Although the differences are only slight it's enough to create a look from both sides The pigmentation this palette gives you is amazing, you barely need to build up coverage as it gives it to you instantly. I have used the palette both with and without primer and both times the shades looked amazing, it lasted all day and didn't crease. You don't need a heavy hand to pick up a lot of product. You can create some quick looks because of how easy it is to pick up and distribute My final thoughts, I personally love this palette. I love the colour scheme of it, the metallic shades are truly beautiful and the pigmentation is out of this world. It really is a gorgeous palette. It lasts all day without creasing and looking bad by the end of night. It blends out without any issues, the shades are all truly beautiful. I have reached for this palette several times since purchasing it and cant wait to keep creating some gorgeous looks with it! The formula has made me want to purchase a few more cover shot palettes by Smashbox! The price for this is so reasonable at just £26. For these reasons, I give this a full 10/10 and highly recommend trying a cover shot palette! This one wont be around for ever being limited edition so if you like the look of it make sure you grab it as soon as possible. Until Next Time,
