Can I buy my makeup & sex toys in one place?
You can have your cake and eat it too! This palette is affordable, packaged nicely and will go on great. Lots of variety in one small box!Published: November 20, 2011
Pros:
creamy, smooth application, pretty compact
Cons:
colors are not as saturated when applied
Yes! When I saw that EdenFantasys had makeup in the rotation, I knew that I just had to try it! I have reviewed a lot of makeup on my blog and love to do tutorials so I was excited to test this.
The Peony Palette comes with eight shadows that are each a smidge larger then a dime. Each one has a different flowery related color name: Sweet Pea, Bloom, Nectar, Shine, Tulip, Trellis, Ginger and Petunia. The shadows come in an adorable, pretty compact with a magnetic closure. The first thing I always do is see whether talc is an ingredient because it's a sure sign that I don't want to use it, as it makes makeup very powdery. These palettes contain no talc! The colors are actually almost a creamy quality with very little fall out when applied. I hate shadows with lots of fallout! They go on a bit lighter then they look in the palette, however, which was a downside; I really like color pay off but for the price of $13.99 (or $1.75/shadow) you are getting eight good shadows that, with a little prep work, turn into wonderful shades. The affordability compared with what you might pay in a store is awesome! I recommend using these with a base to ensure that they 'stick'. I plan to apply mine wet most of the time to make the colors pop. I took a photo (in the product photos) of the applied shadows: dry with a white base on the top, foundation base in the middle, and no base on the bottom; you can see that using a base makes a huge difference!
Monday (the 21st) there will be a blog post with a look using this palette on my blog so feel free to check that out to see what a few of the colors look like on. I plan to use these several more times in the future!
If you like to play with makeup or just enjoy a variety in your colors, pick up this cute flowery compact!

Follow-up commentary
5 months after original review
I use a primer with this product and almost always apply it wet to get more color bang for my buck. I do like that I can use the softer pretty colors if that's the look I'm going for. Packaging has stayed great and I'm still happy with my purchase.

do these stay on well? Are they shimmery, glittery, matte, or a combo?

I don't know much besides what I have read. I think the review did a good job got me interested in those.

Question

What is the closest makeup brand you would compare this item to?

Quote: What is the closest makeup brand you would compare this item to?I would say they are like 'drugstore' makeup...covergirl, wet n wild or similar brands. The type you pay $5 or less for an eyeshadow. :]

Just about any brand, drug store or dept store have eye shadow collections. I would go with an inexpensive brand. More colors and less cost.

Thank you for viewing Eye shadow palette review page!
good review, thanks for sharing.
Thanks
Awesome review!
Wow. Glad to hear these are so good! I really loved them, but I'm afraid the colors just aren't bright enough for my taste. It's a great start for EF though! Loving the new makeups. Thanks for the review. I was about to go crazy waiting to hear how these worked. Lol
Might try them but I hope they get higher quality stuff.
Thanks guys!
@kendra30752 The colors are not intense or bright but they are soft and pretty. I have a whole stash of bright and colorful that I love from other companies. I think a line of really bright colors would go over really well for EF I made sure to grab them because I wanted to get a review out for everyone! haha
@KrazyKandy maybe they will if these 'drugstore' types go well!
Great review!
Creamy eye shadow is a nice alternative! Thanks for your review!
