Review: LimeLily Eyeshadows

Hey guys!

Today’s review is of the LimeLily eyeshadows. I’ve talked about these a couple of times, and have also just filmed a tutorial using them. If the video isn’t up now, it will be soon. I have seven of the shadows, but there are a heap more to get. I get them from The Make-up Foundation, which, as I’ve mentioned before, is a fantastic makeup supply wholesale store here in Brisbane. They make awesome professional products.

The shades I have so far are: Goldmine, Posie, Liberty, Aquatic, Calico, Lemon and Lime Zest.

THE POSITIVES:

These are highly pigmented, long-lasting shadows. They come off beautifully on the eyes and have great colour payoff. They blend really easily as well. There is an amazing range of shades to choose from and what I love the most is the selection of matte shades. Most of the seven that I have are matte shades and they are so vibrant. Just beautiful.

THE NEGATIVES:

There aren’t a lot of negatives to these shadows. If I had to be picky I would say that the formula is a little drier than I usually like my shadows to be. They’re not chalky, but they are definitely not as buttery and creamy feeling as my UD Naked Basics palette. The only problem I have with the drier formula is that I have sensitive eyes and it can irritate them a little. It’s a little price to pay for beautiful, pigmented eye looks though.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

I really have a soft spot for these shadows. They’re fairly inexpensive and they’re great quality. I definitely want to collect as many different shades as I can!
