Ta-dah! Look what I bought with my M&S vouchers from Sky (there will be plenty of these posts coming up as I tried to stretch my vouchers as far as possible over a wide range of things).
First up is this palette of eyeshadows from Limited Collection (exclusive to Marks and Spencer). I chose the 'Bright' palette as I have enough neutral shades at the moment and fancied being a bit more daring. Really this palette should be called 'Pastels' though as the shades weren't that bright really.
The packaging itself is quite nice - maybe a little garish because of all of the clashing colours and flowers but, meh, it's not much to grumble at. It houses 7 shades of eyeshadow in little 'strips' with a small sponge applicator (I immediately discarded this). The colours look quite intense but as you can see from the swatch unfortunately they're not particularly high in pigment. There is the occasional glint of shimmer but I would say that these are predominately matte. There is a bit of product fall out but nothing too major.
They'd make excellent summer colours so I probably chose them at the wrong time. Still, for £8.50 (well, free for me) it'll be nice to play about with them.
That's a shame that they aren't that high in pigment, I would personally expect more from M&S!
