Review: Icing Makeup Palette's

Hello! I am back again. I promise at some point I'll actually get good at this!!

Today I have a couple makeup reviews, they'll be in two different entries. I might also have a personal post as well, just depends on how motivated I get.

So, first up is the Icing Makeup Palete's I purchased for my birthday yesterday.

If you didn't know Icing is the classy Claire's. It easily has become my favorite store in the mall (after Barnes and Noble). They were doing a buy one get one like 70% off deal on their makeup so I couldn't resist. (I also got a really adorable wallet).

I ended up getting two makeup palettes as my makeup purchases. I use to not use eye shadow, but recently I've gotten into it, and I like the convenience of  a palette. Obviously, being an accessory store and not a makeup store, I was skeptical of the quality. But, boy, was I pleasantly surprised.

The two palettes I got were the Nearly Nude[Bottom] and Lavender Lush [Top].

Let's talk about the Lavender Lush first. {$12.50}

This palette has very eye popping colors in mostly shades of pink and purple. It also has a few nice neutral colors as well. It has 12 colors, and they all look amazing. 

Now onto the Nearly Nude palette. {$14.50}

This one has 18 colors in all. They range from the darkest black eye shadow I think I've every seen, to really pretty light colors. Some are sparkly while others are plain. 

As for quality, like I said early, its fantastic. The shadow itself is extremely pigmented, so a little goes a long way. I think that is important with eye shadow, because I absolutely hate having to use a whole bunch of eye shadow for one look. Especially if I like the color, it just doesn't work. 

It also is long lasting. It doesn't just dust off like a lot of powdered eyeshadow. As a matter of fact, usually I can remove eye shadow with just a dry piece of tissue, but this took makeup remover to get off. 

For the price, they are amazing. Because of the sale I got them for under $20 but I think I am going to go back at some point and get their other palette, they are that good. 

Now, they do contain talc, like most beauty products. I know a lot of people are allergic to it so I thought I'd mention that. 

Overall, I highly recommend these for someone wanting good eye shadow on a budget.
