Blogmas Day 5 / 88 Natural Colors Eyeshadow Palette Review

 6 months ago I decided to try a popular eyeshadow palette from Ebay - 88 natural/warm colors eyeshadow palette. 

At first I didn't know whether I should buy it, I was afraid that it will be low quality, eyeshadow not pigmented, won't last long. Those fears mainly was caused by the price. Lets be honest, 7-8 pounds for 88 eyeshadow is a silly price and usually we need to pay for a good quality. But after reading reviews I decided to buy it. 

I've chosen the natural/warm colors. After using it for 6 months for everyday and special occasions makeup, I can say that I like it a lot! 

The quality is amazing. Palette comes with a mirror and 2 applicators. Of course, applicators are useless but the mirror is really handy. Here are some pros and cons based on my opinion:

PROS:

• colors are really pigmented (almost all)
• eyeshadows lasts all day, even night; I've used it not only on everyday makeup, but also on special occasions when I had my makeup from early morning till late night (even the next morning) and it lasted a really long time
• palette hasn't got any bad, chemical smell (even though it is so cheap)
• price
• mirror included
• good packaging for such a price

CONS:

• some colors repeat or are very similar
•  some light colors aren't pigmented enough

 

 

All in all, I think this palette is amazing. Someone even told once that these palettes are the same as the Mac or Coastal Scents ones, the only difference - a brand name on the packaging. And I agree to this opinion, even though I haven't tried the high-end palettes.

 I would recommend everyone to try it out. And it is super cheap so even if you will be disappointed (although I think you won't be), you will not spend a lot of money on it.

 

PS I don't remember from which Ebay seller I bought this but there are a lot of them. Just type in the search bar "88 eyeshadow palette" and choose one that has good feedback.
