New Look's Pure Colour Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Moving on from the fact I shouldn't be buying anymore makeup- New Look have recently released their own makeup line; "Pure Colour". The line varies from mascaras, nail polishes and eyeshadow palettes and are all reasonably priced.



Pure Colour Eyeshadow Palette £4.99

• 4 Satin finish shadows 
• Light gold shimmer  (similar to UD's Half Baked shadow) 
• Bronze gold (comparable to MAC's Woodwinked) 
• Rich brown shimmer (Similar to UD's Darkhorse)
• Rusty rose gold shimmer (Slightly similar to UD's Toasted)
• Creamy texture- easily blendable 
• Fairly pigmented- Although I wouldn't wear these shades without an eye primer
• Suitable for all eye colours
• Compatible with one another, darker shades on the right are perfect as a crease colour
• Neutral shades ideal for day time looks

My overall thoughts on this palette are quite positive- the shadows have a comparable texture to those from MAC, for a much cheaper price. However the longevity of the shades, I feel could be better, however for only £4.99 you can't really complain. With Urban Decay's original eye primer, I don't really notice the short staying power. I'm not a massive fan of the tacky brush that comes with the palette, but once you go MAC, you never really go back ;) The palette itself is perfect for travelling, compact enough to add to your travel makeup bag. I definitely will be going back to New Look to add some more of the line to my collection. 

Have you tried this palette, or anything from the Pure Colour line?
