I have always loved the look of the different eyeshadow
palettes. I could actually look at them all day. And with Urban Decay’s many
naked palettes the only option is to set out and buy some. Now I have a few for
my artist kit, but only one for personal use (from Inglot). I saw on Pink
Peonies the beautiful LA Girl Nude Beauty Brick and I rushed out to Dischem to
go buy one, but alas my luck was not in.
They had none so I decided to buy the Absolute Rose Palette from
Catrice.
Feature
A beautiful palette consisting of 6 light and dark rose
coloured eyeshadows. From the Catrice website, “Soft nudes and trendy rose
shades – sometimes matte and sometimes shimmering – create a beautiful natural
look no matter whether they are used solo or as a team. The supple texture
convinces with a high colour-dispersion and thanks to the integrated brush,
this set is also a practical travel companion.”
Quality
The quality of the product is good but the pigment doesn’t
do it for me. I had to apply the light colours countless amount of times before
I got a good coverage. The packaging is sturdy and the clip closes so it wont
open in your makeup bag, which is a bonus. The little brush is not that bad for
on the road touch ups.
Main Benefit
I love the soft pink colours and the dark shade. The dark
plum blends really well once applied. I must say the product really does melt
onto the eye. Very blend able.
Ease of use
The darker colours are easy to use and blend well. I did
struggle with the lighter colours though.
Who would the product suit
This product will suit anyone who loves the neutral palette
and wants to try a soft smokey look. I would also recommend it for someone who
doesn’t have the money to but the Urban Decay palettes but I would recommend an
eyeshadow primer first.
Pros
Easy to blend
Sturdy packaging
Cons
The eyeshadows are not very pigmented.
