I was a little bit late getting this palette as I wasn’t sure whether to skip this months palette but when I saw the beautiful shade Gold Digga I had to have it , it’s perfect for this time of year and although I have got a few gold eyeshadows in my collection this is a very unique gold.
I only received this palette a few days ago and haven’t used it yet which is very unlike me but my mum is very ill in hospital and that’s one of the reasons I haven’t been blogging so much lately and also why I haven’t been wearing make up . I have so many reviews and looks I want to show you all.
You also get 2 liners products in this palette there is a eye liner which I’m so glad about as I’m nearly out of my cult favourite which is my Avon super shock gel eye liner I believe this is a brown eyeliner called twilight and a lovely nude lip liner called Belle.
Swatches -
Eyeshadows -
The first shadow I thought was a cream as that is how it looks in the pan but it’s more of a yellow toned cream which is nice I would only be using it to set my mac paint pot and make sure the rest of the eyeshadows go on seamlessly anyway and this is in the shade Dream.
Next is my favourite that is the shade Gold Digger it just swatches beautifully I can see me wearing this a lot especially through Christmas with a nice red lip.
Finally in the eyeshadows is Luna and I have to admit I didn’t think I was going to like it because traditionally I avoid dark shadows like this but I can’t wait to try this shadow out .
Highlighter -
As I thought earlier I think this is way too dark for my skin tone I could mix it with one of my paler highlighters and get a customisable highlight but that defeats the purpose your supposed to be able to work from just the one palette . I will try it and see how it looks if I don’t like the look of it I’ll use it as an eyeshadow so it won’t go wasted . I think it will look really nice as an eyeshadow. The highlighter is called prosecco .
Bronzer -
The bronzer is called dusk and originally I thought it might be too muddy for my skin tone as I’m so fair but I think it will work . It’s going to make a lovely transition eyeshadow also which is good as I like to have that in the palette and won’t have to get that from another palette .
Lip products -
Pinky Promise - I love this nude pink that is in the palette this will be definitely be worn the most .
Sass Queen - as I’ve talked about in previous Deck Of Scarlet palettes I’m not a fan of hot pinks this looks much darker in the pan so I might be able to mix Pinky Promise and Sass Queen just to make it a little bit lighter .
Overall thoughts -
As I mentioned earlier I’m really not happy with the packaging I only did the swatches and the fall out from the powder we’re falling into the lip products until I covered it with the sheet of plastic so I’m going to have to do this every time I use the palette which I’m not happy about.
Suggestions for further Deck Of Scarlet Palettes .
I would like them to put that flap back in so the lip creams and powder products don’t mix and I would love the next you tuber to be more adventurous with the lip creams it’s been all nudes the last 4 palettes I would love a red and maybe a dark berry to be in the palette . We are in winter after all there are only so many nudes you can have in your collection .
Other then the faults that I have pointed out and there is more this month then ever before I’m really happy with the shadows there really creamy, the bronzer is really nice , the highlight is nice but it may be for darker skin tones then me as a highlight . The lip products as always are really nice and creamy and I love the liners . I do definitely think this is worth the money you get a lot of product I just think Deck Of Scarlet made a mistake by not sticking to the original packaging .
Thanks for reading as always
