Fashionista palette review- Blush and Eye shadow

This post is going to be about the Fashionista palettes, available at superdrug. Similar to higher end brands, such as MAC, these palettes allow you to get a palette and choose your own individual eye shadows and blushes. The pallet's are £5 and the eye shadows and blushes are £4. You can fit 4 blushes/eye shadows in your palette and you can mix and match what product you can put in them. This means that overall your filled palette will cost £21, which in my opinion is quite expensive for drugstore make-up. However when I brought mine there was an offer on where you got your palette free when you brought four eye shadows/blushes. I am not aware if this offer is still on.

 The palette itself is very nice and good quality. I have it in black, but you can also get it in red. This is great because you can have one for blush and one for eye shadow and you don't have to look inside to see whats in them. The palette also has a big mirror which I use everyday when doing my makeup because it is a perfect size. the palette is also great for travel because it is very thin and closes shut securely.

Colours: Steel shade 3 (eye shadow), Amorous shade 33 (eye shadow), Blushing coral shade 5 (blush), Rose glow shade 2 (blush)

 I picked up two blushes and two eye shadows to test them out. Firstly the eye shadows, which i was not impressed with. I found the eye shadows did not have very good pigmentation and were hard to blend. Although they are drugstore products I expected more considering that they are £4 and MUA shadows (which are great quality) are only £1! So I would not recommend the eye shadows from this range. However the blushes are fantastic, they are super pigmented and matte which is really hard to find in a drugstore blush. If you are very heavy handed with your blush these may not be for you as you only need a light hand to get great colour pay off. I also love the fact that you can change the intensity of the colour, depending on how much you use.

Pro's...
-The blushes are great quality
-You can put blush and eyeshadow in the same palette
-Good to travel with
-Nice quality palette
-You can have the products in the palette or in single cases
-You can see the name of the product through the back of the palette
-It is easy to pop out the products and change what you have in the palette

Con's...
-The eye shadows are not great quality
-The price adds up quite quickly when buying the complete palette
-If you are heavy handed you will not get on with the blushes
-There is not a great shade range

Overall i think these palettes are a great idea, I was just disappointed with the eye shadows. I will definitely get two more blushes to replace the eye shadows in my palette because they are fantastic! I hope they will extend the shade range and maybe create new products to put in the palette such as lipstick and cream products. definitely check these palettes out when you next visit superdrug!
