Illamasqua Artistry Palette ‘Electrify’ – 3/5

I really love Illamasqua highlighters so thought I’d try an eyeshadow palette, but so far I’ve felt pretty disappoint. I find that it doesn’t pack the punch that I want in a colourful palette, and I feel that this just doesn’t unless it is really built up.
It’s fine, but I’ve got other colourful palettes that I would reach for a million times over! I’ve found that I absolutely ‘have to’ spray the brush if I want the colours to pop, and again I have other palettes that just don’t need me to do this.
Overall, it’s an okay palette but I would rather have the £10 back that I paid for it.

Painter’s Palette Sample Beauty – 4/5

Love this palette! All of the shades are lovely and pigmented and the colours are so unique. The price was also really good, especially considering the quantity.
The shimmers were amazingly creamy and bright, and I would definately recommend this if you want to go out of your comfort zone!

Despite pretty much every shade in the palette looking amazing, and searching well, when I tried the yellow shade on my eyea I was quite disappointed, as it had to be built up a lot to get to a stage where it looked noticeably ‘yellow.’

This was really disappointing as it was one of the shades I was looking forward to the most.
