Product review: Estee Lauder eyeshadow trio - Beach metals

Hi guys,
 
So as you can see from the title today I am going to be doing a review of an eyeshadow trio that I featured in a haul ages ago. This is the Estée Lauder eyeshadow trio in 'Beach metals'. I use this quite a lot as it is so easy to wear and the colours are so incredibly versatile. 

As you can see there are three different shades - the first one is a gorgeous champagne colour which is very similar to MACs Naked Lunch. The second one is a baby pink which I think has a bit of an orange undertone to it. Last but not least there is a dark burgundy-purple shade which I love! 






These eyeshadows are so incredibly pigmented and they apply really nicely! I use the lightest colour all over the lid, I then use the pinky colour in the crease for a bit of definition and I use the darkest shade in the outer corner to give a bit of a smokey effect. Overall I would definitely recommend this even though there is a hefty price tag- also these types of colours are perfect for spring as they can help to bring a pop of colour whilst not being too over the top!

Thankyou for reading I hope you enjoyed!!

Estée Lauder part 2!!!

Hello guys,

A few days ago I posted a review of my Estée Lauder blush and today I am going to be carrying on this  blog post.

Today I am going to do the second part of this part. Enjoy!

Ok, so the second thing I got from Estée Lauder was this eyeshadow trio in the colour 'Beach metals'. 


So far I am really enjoying the colours in this and i think the gold and cranberry tones make it perfect for winter. In this palette there is three colours. The first one is a very simple baby pink with a bit of gold, the only way I can't describe it is that it is pretty much the same colour as Naked Lunch by MAC. The second colour is a medium toned gold which looks so gorgeous on its own which I have done some days. Finally, the last colour is a very deep cranberry colour, ironically very similar to MACs cranberry. 

Personally, I really love this and I have a feeling it will last me a long time as they are so pigmented I hardly need any on my brush which is great because the only shadows I've come across we're they are like that is the MAC ones. Although, even though I love that these eyeshadows are super duper shimmery, some people may not like this as I know that some people don't like to put shimmer through the crease, even thought I love it.

So that's it! I've enjoyed writing these reviews because I feel like I haven't done any in so long!

Thanks for reading  ❤

My first ever Estée Lauder products PART 1!

Hello everyone,

If you saw my post a few weeks ago I did a luxury beauty haul. In that haul I told you that I had purchased two things from Estée Lauder and truth be told I was so so excited to use them as I had never used anything from there before! (Mainly because of the not so nice price tag!)

I've been using them for a few weeks now and I thought I would do a review for you all as I haven't done one for quite a while.

Firstly, I got the Shimmer Blush in 08 peach passion 


As the title says this blush is more peachy toned than pink but it does have a tiny bit of a pink in it. I really love this blush as it's perfect for a nice natural blush that's not too over the top. However I think I will get more use out of this in the summer because in the winter I like more pink blushes like MACs Dollymix but overall this is a lovely, well pigmented blush which I think will suit most skin tones.

I will post the review of my eyeshadow trio tommorow! So stay tuned for that

But for now thanks for reading!

Bye
