I am a total sucker for a new eyeshadow palette. My latest obsession is the Morphe palettes and I have another one to share with you soon because I just can’t get enough of them! My palettes range from budget to high end and I am a fan of buttery shimmer shades that blend well with little effort. So when I was asked to review a palette which contains 183 shades for £12.99, I was very dubious of the quality but couldn’t resist. This is Laroc.
Laroc are Manchester based so a local company which is always a big plus for me. They offer a number of different eyeshadow palettes as well as other beauty items such as hair care, oval brushes and nail art kits. Their eyeshadow palettes range from a nine colour set to the set I have with matte, shimmer and bright shades or a collection of all three.
The 183 colour palette has three removable palettes within a black plastic case that is the same as the Morphe palettes, I’m not sure if they are made in the same place? Two of the palettes contain the eyeshadow colours and one has blush and bronzing shades.
The blush and bronzer shades are all very different which I do like about it as I can never understand why colours are virtually the same in a palette? Some of them are far too pale for my complexion, and I am pretty pale, but the colour on my little finger is a really pretty coral pink that adds a flush of colour to my cheeks without being too much.
The shades in the palette range from nudes and greys, mattes and shimmers as well as these pretty duo tones that blend to a pretty bright colour. The matte shades are quite powdery with a fair bit of fall out but the shimmer shades are much softer and easier to work with. For £12.99 I really can’t grumble and the majority of the shades are unlike the others I already own making it an interesting addition to my collection.
The individual palettes are a little flimsy and not easy to hold so I managed to drop it a few times when using! The pans are also really small so I have to be really careful when picking up colours on the brush, that I don’t accidentally dip it into the colour next door! I can’t wait to play with the brighter colours and it is brilliant for anyone starting out with make up to play with colour blending. The price means you won’t be too upset if you use up a particular colour and the sheer amount of rainbow shades means endless possibilities and looks to practice. Rainbow eyes anyone?
