Belle Jorden is a Youtuber/Make-up Artist known for her love of glitter and grungy make-up looks, she recently teamed up with Obsession (the same company as Makeup Revolution) to create an eyeshadow palette which I will be giving you my first impressions of today.
This palette costs £10.00 and comes with 16 shades, there's a range of mattes, shimmers and matte shades infused with glitter. The packaging is a beautiful pale pinky-grey shade with the Belle Jorden gold embossed logo on the front, there's a mirror inside and the palette itself has a good weight to it and feels like great quality, especially considering how affordable the palette is!
I've made this a first impression post rather than a review as I've only had the palette for about a week although I have swatched all the shades and used most of them in eye looks during the week I still feel these are my first impressions of the palette.
As a whole the shades in the palette are very pigmented and blendable, the quality is very impressive especially considering how inexpensive the palette is, I must also say I think Belle has done a great job at picking shades that work well together. You can create such a wide variety of looks with this palette ranging from very soft natural looks all the way up to bright dramatic looks, the shades give so many options and it's very easy to create a complete look without needing to dip into other palettes. Some of the shades have quite a bit of fallout, particularly the bright/sparkly ones so you may want to apply your eyeshadow before your base when creating more intense eye looks.
Shades!
Starlight - This is a soft matte white shade that's not overly pigmented which I actually quite like because sometimes a very bright white can look very stark on the eyes, it's nice to set the eyelid or subtly highlight the brow bone.
Glow Baby - This shade is a shimmery champagne shade that's great for brightening up the centre of the eye or highlighting the inner corner, it does have a bit of fallout and it's best applied with your fingertips for intense pigmentation.
Pops - This is a matte warm brown shade with flecks of gold glitter, this works really well as a transition shade and although it does contain glitter if you tap off the excess from your brush most of the glitter will fall away.
Bear - The shade bear is a shimmery copper shade, it's very pretty and like most of the shimmer shades you can get more pigmentation if you apply it with your fingertips or a damp make-up brush.
Sagittarius - (Fun Fact - This is also my starsign) This is a bright orangey shade that can be used all over the lid or as a transition shade.
Sassy - This is probably the deepest shimmer shade and would work great for a very smokey eye look.
Hot Sauce - This shade is a very deep matte red-brown shade that's perfect for deepening up the outer corner of the eye and adding definition.
Queen - This is another matte shade with glitter particles in a deep red-purple tone, like Hot Sauce if could deepen up the outer corner or be used with Sassy to give you an intense smokey eye.
1706 - This is a much cooler toned shade in the palette and would be great for the crease to create a different kind of look, it's a matte shade and an interesting pink-grey colour.
Mama's Girl - This is a slightly darker shade than 1706 and has different coloured glittery particles which make it very pretty and different to a lot of other shades.
Magic - This is a shimmery pink shade that can feel a tiny bit crumbly and does have a fair amount of fallout but it's still a beautiful shade with lots of pigmentation.
So Cute - This shade is a super pigmented matte bright pink, I never usually wear pink but this shade is stunning and really adds a pop of colour to your eye looks.
Miami - This is a bright lilac shimmery shade that really adds a pop of colour and brightens up any eye look.
13 - This is another matte in a super dark purple shade which could be used in very dark smokey looks or to add depth and definition.
A.F. - This is technically a shimmer shade but it has particles of glitter in it that make it almost like an eyeshadow topper, it does have a fair bit of fallout so this is another one of the shades you may want to apply before your base.
Lola - A matte black shade, I've not used this shade in a look yet but it swatches very nicely and looks very pigmented.
Overall, I'm loving this palette, I think the shades are stunning and very well put together. The pigmentation is great and all of the shades blend easily, I would 100% recommend this palette and I can't wait to use it more and create lots of beautiful eye looks. This is the first product from Obsession and that I've tried out and I'm impressed and definitely want to try more in the future!
