Product Review: Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow - Sunbaked Neutrals

As some of the fellow New Zealand Beauty Guru's may know, Postie+ have a discounted makeup & beauty section in their stores. Well around a month ago, I can across a good product, and I wanted to let you know about it. Since I can't record right now, I thought I'd blog about it.


By now, you will know that I'm into natural eye makeup, so with a name like "sun baked neutrals" I knew this was a product that instantly would work with my schedule (work wear & evening's out). 

As you can see from the color selection, there are some gorgeous brown & warm shades which works perfectly with my blue eyes. But it's so versatile most eye colors can get away with these neutral shades.



Most of the shades are rather pigmented for being a drugstore product. As you can see in the picture the top left shade (no individual names) hardly gives off any color at all. On my eyelid it looks like a translucent subtle shimmer which is a slight disappointment, since it does look like a lovely highlight in the packaging. On the positive side, the bottom left shade is intensely pigmented from a slight swatch. My favorite color overall, is the second shade in on the second row. It's the perfect golden chocolate brown shade, with just the right amount of shimmer. I love to use this to create a easy brown smokey look - applied all over the lid with smokey black liner and lashings of mascara! I have also gave the green shades a test run, and I like them as yet again another neutral look.




So many looks can be created with these shadows, I find myself reaching for this palette every morning. To be honest, the colors are very "dupe-able" but what I love most about this palette is that all colors are in the same packaging, so it leaves extra room in my makeup bag for one or two extra lip glosses. (:

Do you have a holy grail makeup palette you take with you? Or maybe some must have eye shadows that you lug around with you all day? What are your takes on makeup palettes?

Hope you're well,
