120 Palette Review...

Ok so this is a bit of a story. For a while now I have had my eye on a 120 eyeshadow palette on amazon. After Christmas I noticed it and decided that I was going to buy it as soon as I had money. But... I waited too long and by the time I had adequate funds the VAT increase for some reason made the palette to go fron £18.99 to £25. Not absolutely sure how that happened plus it has a £4.99 P&P charge so I would be spending almost £30 on this particular palette. So a couple of weeks ago I got my first ever cashline card that has a chip and pin which is so handy and made my own account with Amazon instead of using my mum's account. Well I noticed another palette with was again 120 eyeshadows for £11.99 which was a pretty good price and even though it wasn't the one I originally wanted I ordered it on Saturday. But to my surprise when it got here today it was in fact the same as the first one I had originally wanted but a lot cheaper. Again there was a £4.99 P&P but still a lot cheaper than the other one.

This is what the palette should look like according to Amazon for the one that I bought



This is the palette that I recieved (THIS IS NOT MY IMAGE I FOUND IT ON GOOGLE)
Below are some of the colours up close and again these are not my images but are ones that I found on google just so I don't get hit with any copyright crap. 


Oh something else as you can see above there are marbled colours. I personally think that they are very cute and when you pick them up they are very pigmented and show patches of different colour which is really unique. 


As you can see the pink on the left is a satin colour, the middle is a matte colour and the end one is a metalic colour. The metalics are really gorgeous and shiny but I also love the matte colours for a nice everyday look. Yes I do wear these colours everyday. 


I also have to say that people have been complaining that these shadows don't stay on. Well thats a load of crap because I use a concealer from Superdrug as a base and they go on beautifully. The pigment on them is really good considering their price and the fact that they are so pigmented means that they will definitely last a long time. These are about the size of a penny so is pretty small but the colour is so good that the size isn't too bad.


Those marbled ones above are so cute ^^


If you want any details about any of the colours or anything just leave a wee comment below.
