Product Review: L.A. Colors Sweet! 16 Eyeshadow Palette

Hey everyone!
I'm sorry for the delay in posting this review,but I've been experiencing bad carpal tunnel flares, and it has impaired my ability to type for long stretches of time.
While I'm still experiencing the pain, I wanted to get this post done.

Today,  I'll be sharing my thoughts on the L.A. Colors Sweet! 16 Eyeshadow Palette named Brave.

I've bought this palette approximately one month ago for $40TT at Wonderful World, and I've been using it almost every time I wear makeup. If you don't live in Trinidad and Tobago, this palette is available on the L.A. Colors website. I thoroughly enjoy using this palette. The shades are versatile for both everyday, simple,neutral looks,as well as dramatic, smokey looks. The matte shades are soft,and buttery, and they blend beautifully. The shimmer shades are good. They aren't intensely pigmented but are easy to build up on the eye.

My two (2) main problems with this palette are;
1. The two pink shades require a lot of work to build up the pigment
2. Some of the shades are very similar in colour (slight variations in undertone)

Swatches

Top Row - #1- #6

Middle Row - #7 - #12

Final Row - #13- #16

I wholeheartedly believe that swatches do not do this palette justice. It performs better on the eyes than it looks in swatches, and yes #13 barely shows up in a swatch but it makes a beautiful inner corner highlight, as well as a lovely subtle highlight on the face.

My previous post illustrated a look I created with this palette, and I will leave a link to it at the end of this post, however, I've decided to include some other looks I created with this palette.

 
I enjoy using this palette, and for the price, the quality of the eyeshadows is above par. This is quickly becoming my everyday eyeshadow palette. Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes, I will, and I already have. I think it'll make a great gift for anyone who likes makeup, or for someone who is just starting to use eyeshadows or makeup in general.

Thank you all for stopping by today! Have a wonderful week, and I will talk to you all very soon.
Bye! (^_^)/
