VOV Castledew Shirring Eyes: I am NOT impressed...


When I saw that VOV released new eyeshadow palettes in their Castledew range I picked up the quint in 02 Secret Potion, a lovely collection of purples and blues.

I really love their other palettes, called Color Shot Eyes. So I was expecting a good pearly eye palette with smooth and pigmented colors.

But no, it's not =(


This comes in the same cute case like the Color Shot Eyes but the silver metal color has a slight pinkish tint. There are 5 stripes of color pressed into 1 eyeshadow pan and I have to admit that the arrangement looks really pretty.
But unfortunately 4 of the 5 colors are super sheer. The texture is fine and soft but the pigment just totally lacks. The only color that shows up a bit better is the darkest color but the others just show very subtle colors. Also the colors are a bit too dull and flat for my taste.


No thanks.

RRP is around US$18 if I am not wrong. Save your money for something better or get one of their eyeshadow quads instead!
There is also palette #1 Lovely Tender consisting of warmer colors like orange, brown and yellow.
