Elf Natural Eyeshadow palette review

Image
I bought this palette because I like golden themed colors, I picked it up at a local drugstore.   The palette comes in a black and silver shimmery packaging. The palette is small enough to fit in one's palm, weighs 0.17 ounces and is lightly scented. The colors are all shimmery and great for a night - time look.  Pros. The shadows are long - wearing and very affordable ( as are all Elf products). Cons. It is not finely milled (the darkest shade is almost chunky in texture) and there is some eyeshadow fallout. I like this product and would recommend it because it is still a good quality for its price. You can check out similar shades to this product here:

Meh, I dunno. I've been gazing at this 'Take me to Brazil' palette for approximately one year.  Eventually I said to myself: Ah, just buy the makeup!     So I did.            Anyhoo, back to the Ipsy bag.         This was the card that came in the Ipsy package. And all the products, most of which I had never heard of before. 1.   Ipsy L34 Blend Beauty. Loving the lilac handle with the ombre bristles. 2.  Model Co. Peach Bellini blush. According to the modelcocosmetics website, this blush retails for $US 22. 3.  Mannakadar Beauty Fantasy 3 in 1 blush, highl...
