"I Heart Matte"

Eye shadows are one of my favorite make-up products to collect. I swear...all those pretty colors, how can I not resist? Though my eye shadow collection probably doesn't surmount to the collections of others, I think I have a pretty good selection from bright colors to neutrals. But one thing that they all almost all have in common: shimmers.

When I saw Becky's post from her blog Everyday Makeup Blog, I was instantly drawn! An all matte palette from WnW! I checked my local Walgreens soon after, but it wasn't until my second trip where I was able to pick this up. WnW palettes are known for their impressive pigmentation, and for the most part, this particular palette doesn't disappoint.


The little ♥ is so simple, yet so cute.


8 matte eye shadows in one palette.


Swatched from left column to right column; top to bottom. All swatched without a primer.

I was most impressed by the neutral colors in this palette. They swatched so effortlessly! The colors were a bit harder to swatch, as they were a bit chalky. From all the other blog posts I've read, it seems like the purple was the shade that most had difficulty with though. But, I don't think I'll mind that part as much since I don't venture into bright colors on a daily basis. And, since everything is matte, I feel like they won't be as intense for everyday wear if ever I feel..."colorful". And for $4.95, I really can't complain!

I believe these are limited edition 8 pan palettes, so if you're interested in a fairly good variety of matte colors and neutrals, visit your local Walgreens before they all run out! (I opted out in the LE baked palettes since I felt I had too many shimmey shadows at the moment...though I've been considering going back to see if they still have some at my local store.)

Do any of you have this palette? What are your thoughts? Have you picked up the other LE palettes?

I think I'm all packed for my mini getaway! My cousins' cousin is getting married this Friday, 11/11/11. I'm quite excited. :D I love weddings and dressing up. Plus, I think it'll be a mini family reunion. Definitely looking forward to it! Won't be having internet for posts, but I'll be back on Sunday.

And yes, been lagging on the commenting too. Now that I have my new phone, I use gReader before sleeping just to catch up on reading blog entries. Too bad there's no option for comments! Boo. Anyways, take care until...probably Monday.

Enjoy the rest of your week and have a wonderful weekend!
Oh, and I think I'm finally ready for my first blog giveaway.
Will post sometime next week. Stay tuned!
