Another day another review for all you lovely people! Today i am talking about a neutral palette from a lesser known brand, ISADORA 60/NUDE ESSENTIALS. This somehow reminds me of the Urban Decay Naked Neutrals shadow palette and the pricing is somewhat similar too. Anywho without further ado lets get on with the review shall we...
The palette has 6 shades in it and they all range from satin to matte and are pigmented. The shadows are a lil powdery at first go but that does not interfere with the blending and performance of the shadows. The shadows and the palette itself is a great everyday neutral palette, great for travelling too but in my opinion the shadows might break apart, they are extremely soft to touch, thats what led me to that conclusion. Did not have the chance to try this theory out yet though! ;D
As you can see they swatch well without a primer and with a primer they look even better. I have been using this for almost 2 months now and have loved it so far. The palette does get a lil messy as there is a fallout, nothing drastic but substantial. They are picked up beautifully and blend very nicely. The palette itself does not have any scent to it. It has a small mirror housed in the palette. Don't get me wrong the shadows are pigmented but they are in no way as pigmented/smooth as the lorac or urban decay shadows. They are good but they def leave something more to be desired. They have another palette in this range which has more purply-mauve shades in it.
The Metallic Eye pencil is great and one of my fav things to use these past few weeks. Its so sparkly and pretty. Makes for an excellent inner corner highlight/double liner or overall top-up shadow. The pencil is soft and oh so creamy. It just glides on without any struggle. This shade is so in demand that its always out of stock, i snatched this baby up at the ISADORA launch a few months back. These pencils are a def YES from my side. Must have! The pencil texture is super smooth almost gel-like. The only drawback for me is that its a 'traditional pencil', its got a sharpener at the other end but it would have been great if it was a twistable pencil, makes it more user friendly in my opinion.
PRICE: Shadow Palette AED120 & Metallic Pencil AED80 approx.
QUANTITY: Shadow palette 5gms & Metallic Pencils 0.55gms
AVAILABILITY: Paris Gallery & CenterPoint Stores in the Middle East.
Hope this review gave some of you an idea of IsaDora brand and their products. The palette is def one to try and that pencil is pretty amazing too. Its a good brand and i really am liking it. Until my next post.
