Soap & Glory has been supporting the Clean of England since 2006*, when we started formulating fun, fearlessly world-class products to give every girl THE BEST BANG FOR HER BEAUTY BUDGET.

Within weeks of our first launch, the word – and the gloss – on almost everybody’s lips was our (now iconic) super-plumping SEXY MOTHER PUCKER™. Soon after, our all-time, dry-skin classic – THE RIGHTEOUS BUTTER™ – was voted Britain’s Best Body Butter and our MAKE YOURSELF YOUTHFUL™ anti-aging peptide serum took The Times Beauty Awards Gold Star. The bar was set high. And every single Soap & Glory product that followed has been brilliant.

Now proud purveyor of an absolutely fabulous full range of beauty, body and bath-stuffs, we recommend putting your products on with happiness and abandon, because we believe WHILE BEAUTY ABSOLUTELY MATTERS, IT DOESN’T MATTER ABSOLUTELY.

Formula

These shadows are rather dusty and have quite a bit of fall out. They’re not a “buttery” formula, but I find that they blend beautifully on the eyes without getting muddy. They’re not super pigmented, but can be built up to a nice wash of color.

The Packaging

I’m a sucker for cute packaging, and this one is no exception. The cover is eye-catching and fun. The palette itself is a cardboard material. It has magnets in both corners, keeping the palette shut. It gets dirty pretty quickly and shows any superficial wear and tear but overall seems pretty sturdy.

The inside has a small mirror, which is a nice touch. However, it’s not big enough in my opinion to actually use. The shadow pans themselves are small, and if you’re not careful the shadows will get all over the cardboard and make it messy looking. Some of the pans are crooked which bothers me slightly, but not enough to make me depot the palette.

The palette comes with a small double sided brush. As with most brushes in palettes, it’s not great. The only way I was able to use it was to apply the lighter colors all over my lids as a base color. It does nothing for the crease of packing on the color. It’s not terrible if you’re in a bind and have to use it, but I personally won’t be grabbing for it.

Review

These shadows aren’t the best mattes on the market, but I honestly don’t think they’re bad. This palette is definitely not going to work for all skin tones. I’d say if you’re even a medium skin tone, this won’t work for you. But if you’re fair skinned, these are really pretty base and transition colors. They’re not super pigmented right off the bat, but can be build up a bit. They’re definitely not going to be super pigmented,  so keep that in mind.

This palette won’t really work on it’s own, unless you’re into super subtle eyelooks. I do think it pairs really nice with other palettes and single shadows. I’ve been using it for transition shades with my Colourpop single shadows and Super Shock Shadows and I’ve been happy with it.

I don’t love every single color, but I enjoy Take A Sand (base color for my transition shade), Okey Cocoa, Conker All, and Mauve Over.

I’d say this palette isn’t a must, especially if you have matte shadows/palettes you reach for often. But if you don’t have a huge collection or just want a grab-and-go subtle palette this could work for you. I’d recommend this for makeup beginners, those who like n0 makeup makeup looks, or those who don’t mind building up color.

So, is this palette worth it? I think it’s decent, but the price point is way too high in my opinion. For $20, you can get better quality shadows. With that being said, I would say if you can get it on sale and use some coupons, it’s worth checking out if it catches your eye and you keep my above statements in mind!

Let me know your thoughts! Is this a palette you’d buy? Have you tried it already?
