I'm always open to budget friendly options when it comes to makeup and I find this time and time again with Catrice range.
This makeup palette has been a staple in my life for over a year.
The packaging is pretty simple, plastic with a clear lid. The pop comes from the shadows you can see through. The texture of the shadows is buttery soft.
They definitely last longer when you use a eyelid primer.
Because of the good quality, affordable price tag and overall pigment I have recently purchased another palette and I'm yet again pleasantly surprised.

I love the shades in this palette. Romantic rose gold. I am basically using all of these products on a daily basis, but I find it hard to blend the dark maroon colour. It is highly pigmented, easy to apply and super blendable, the only problem I find with this palette is the fact that I have been experiencing a lot of fallout, both in the pan and under my eyes upon application. It is not a deal breaker for me, but my advise would be to keep your concealer and setting powder at hand to do the necessary touch ups after application.
A great budget item that has good longevity, I find the colours to pop more and it to last longer used combined with the Catrice Eyeshadow base.
I used to like this palette a lot, and I have finished 2 of the shades in it already, but while I was happy with it, it wasn't until I bought the LA Girl Nudes palette, that I realised that the colours were perhaps too sheer and didn't apply very vibrantly in the Catrice one.
