Hello everyone!
It feels like forever since I last did a blog post, so I'm back with a review of the Face of Australia "Eye Do" Makeup Palettes!
I saw these in K-Mart while I was browsing and I fell in love with the packaging! It's so floral and fun and as it is springtime, I considered them a must, and for $10 each, how could I say no?!
Each palette comes with three eyeshadow shades, a mascara, a set of false lashes (no glue), and a little brush.
I'm not sure if there are more than just the two of these, as these were the only ones available at Kmart, so I picked up both of them to review for you guys.
In my experience, Face of Australia have some really great products, so let's jump straight into the review! I'm going to start with the daytime palette 'Afternoon Delights'.
This palette has a highlight shade (1), a lid shade (2), and a crease/outer v shade (3).
The lashes are super curly, and girly - mine have been trimmed which is why they look a bit strange. The mascara is nice, definitely black and doesn't clump. I didn't bother using the little sponge brush because they're all the same.
I applied the shadows over an eye primer to see how long they would last, and I'm pleased to say they lasted all day. I wore them for about 8-9 hours in the heat, and the only thing I noticed was that in the last few hours all of the colours had sort of melted together and I couldn't really notice which colour was where, and they were slightly faded.
The pigmentation is decent, but I did find I needed to layer them up so they could really be noticeable, but super easy to blend and not chalky at all.
I really like this palette for everyday wear.
Now let's discuss the night time palette 'Party Nights'.
This palette contains two lid shades - inner (2) and outer (1), and a crease/outer v shade (3).
These lashes are similar to the daytime ones, just thicker.
The mascara and brush are the same.
I used this palette to create a navy blue smokey eye, which didn't go quite as well as I had hoped.
The colours are blendable, alike the others, but I found while creating my smokey eye that upon blending, I lost a lot of pigmentation and all the colours had kind of moulded together to form a bit of a boring old grey. I couldn't pinpoint any blue within it, and I used the blue colour 2/3 of the way across my eyelid.
I will say that the staying power is still really good, as I had this look on for about 5 hours and came home with it still flawless on my eyes.
I don't like this palette as much as the other, but I think this would be a good beginner smokey eye palette for anyone looking to start darkening up their look.
Overall, I give these palettes 7/10!
Long-lasting shadows with buildable pigmentation, good mascara, and great quality lashes!
