Yesterday I started my Christmas shopping and I was in Boots looking for my best friends presents and her birthday present which is 15 days before Christmas, aren't I an awesome friend getting her gifts for both?! Anyway, I was with my brother who obviously wasn't amused at looking at makeup so I headed straight to the 3 for 2 sale thing they have going on right now and saw this along with Gok Wan's strange and the Sex in the City stuff. As a fan of Fearne I had wanted to try this out too so I figured I'd pick one up for myself and my best friend (who doesn't know about this blog so I am safe to say). I looked at it in the store and was pretty impressed, sadly there was no tester one so I couldn't swatch any colours so it was a little bit of a win or lose product. Now that I have it home and opened (after great struggle) I am totally impressed with the pigmentation of each shadow.
It comes with ten pressed eyeshadows and two very awkwardly tiny brushes which I will be throwing out since I find no use for them. All but one contain a load of a shimmer so this is perfect for the Christmas parties coming up. The matte black in the bottom right corner is an awesome dupe for "Carbon" by Mac, pretty much the same pigmentation and a little easier to blend. So if you don't want to spend £12 or so on a MAC shadow, you can have this palette for £10 and get 9 extra shadow's with it!
I can't say my swatches are very good considering the weight of my camera but I tried my best. In this picture you have the bottom left shadow's from the picture above which are highly pigmented gold and silver shadows. The other two are the darker purple and red which look so much better in real life, much darker and better in colour.
You can find this palette in any boots store under their 3 for 2 Christmas offers for a grand total of £10. There is also a selection of lip ranges from nudes to dark reds, brushes and a compact mirror along with a large box which I can't say I know what's in. Remember when you're there to pick three things up as the cheapest is free!
