I'm utterly utterly in love with this limited edition Pur Minerals Beatiful Creatures palette*!
I haven't stopped using it since It popped through my letterbox few weeks ago; I'm a fan of Pur Minerals in general, everything I tried so far didn't disappoint so I'm happy to see that also the eyeshadows are of outstanding quality.
The palette has a magnetic fastening and it's pretty slim; it comes with a protective plastic cover, that you can remove, but I decided to leave it on to prevent smudges on the mirror.
You also get a shadow brush encased in the box; I adore the Chisel MakeUp Brush (NOT exaggeration here!) and I can tell that it's made from the the same soft bristles. I experienced some shedding at first, but unnoticeable and stopped after the first wash.
l-r: supernatural, siren, spellbound, forbidden |
l-r: fate, fantasy, secret, cursed |
The colours are beautiful and everything I go for, these days: you get a couple of fair neutrals, bronze, khaki, browns and purples. They are all buttery soft, blend beautifully and none is powdery; the colour payoff is excellent too and I honestly love every single shade!
To complete the set, you also get a black eyeliner and a lipgloss. Black Magic - the eyeliner - is on the hard side but works well to add thickness to the lashline and it doesn't smudge; Lust/Desire - the lipgloss - is very sheer in colour with an hint of pink but the ideal complement for a strong eye look... and you can really go to town with these stunning eyeshadow colours!
The bad news? Apparently, it's not available in Uk - you can try on http://www.purminerals.com/ or I found this similar and lovely palette on the Marks & Spencer website.
A pretty great travel set indeed and now It makes me want to see the film Beautiful Creatures, too... hehe - Have you seen it? :)
