On the other hand the blues, purples and greens are super pigmented and what you see is what you get. Now getting onto the 12 shimmery eye shadows themselves, the colours look awesome! I was a bit disappointed that the 3 reds and pinks didn't actually come out all that bright, they were still nice colours though. I find it especially good for applying colours to the under eye area and for cut crease looks. At first I didn't think I would bother with the brush at all but gave it a go anyway and was pretty surprised at how much I like the soft brush end. It also comes with a double ended brush, one end is a thin eye shadow brush the other is your typical eye makeup applicator. I would most likely only use it if I was desperate and had no other mirrors on me, but it does look nice so there's that. There's also a small long mirror on the top half, I don't know how you're meant to use the mirror as it is quite thin. The eyes shadows themselves come in a cool green coloured plastic. I opened it up as soon as it arrived, it comes in packaging that feels like strong shiny cardboard, it doesn't feel overly sturdy but I don't tend to throw my palettes around so that's no biggy.

I put my hand up to trial the LA Girl Neon Palette and was so excited to be accepted. Go instore and play with the 4 options - the smoky and nude palettes are also lovely! They can be blended or built up to achieve the desired effect, and even used with a slightly damp brush to get even more impact.įor the price, I can't fault the sets at all, but whether or not I'd recommend them depends on how makeup savvy the person was - sometimes people don't need a 12 colour palette, especially if they're happy with what they are rocking - I like to use all the colours all the time but palettes aren't for everyone.

The shadows last through a full day on my eyelids (note: I do use a setting spray as well but even when I haven't I have been happy with the lasting time) and maintain impact right throughout the day as well. You have options for complementary colours, clashing colours, or a myriad of other options - creativity is key! I use this set to do a mottled eye fairly often and it always works using this product. Pigmentation is okay - not exceptional, but you can definitely see the colours loud and clear on your eyes. There is a shimmery white and silver to highlight and soften, and a charcoal for features, but the other 9 shades are bright, screaming neons. It's a very pretty neutral set tending towards the purples, and looks great with my hazel eyes. There are no bright shades in this palette, and the shimmery options are faintly shimmery, not over the top. They are colours that can be blended nicely to create a muted or darker look, both subtly sexy without being over the top. In the Ultra palette, the colours range from bone through a spectrum of pinky-beige tones and purples, with brown and bronze to finish out the set.
The brushes provided are average at best - the sponge is a little hard for my liking, and the brush a little soft, but it does the job in a pinch. They are easy to use designs, with thin strips of each colour in a long thin rectangular case. The LA Girl Palettes each feature a crazy 12 eyeshadows, housed in a simple black-gloss stiff cardboard case with a double ended brush (brush/sponge applicator) and a long, thin mirror.
At $10 each, why not? (Price was at Love My Makeup have also been seen in the Warehouse for $7.50) I wasn't, so I ended up picking up not only the Neons, but the Ultra as well. I was coveting the Neons palette *hard* from the moment I first saw it in-store, and then when it came up as a possible BR trial I waited to see if I'd be selected.
