True Romantic is Bare Minerals latest collection for Spring. The collection is very feminine with neutral tones and grown up pinks. This really is a beautiful, well edited collection and the name, True Romantic fits it perfectly. Now Valentines day is over I feel save to mention the R word!
Not only is the colour palette for this collection beautiful but the rose gold packaging is a really nice touch. Although have you ever tried to photograph a mirrored eyeshadow palette, my attempt is below!
There are 4 eyeshadow's in this palette, clockwise from top left: Love It, Woo Is Me, Head Over Heels and Louder. All the eyeshadow's are nicely pigmented and apply smoothly except 'Woo Is Me' which is a bit gritty and gets everywhere!
I am a little disappointed with this palette for two reasons. One the quality of 'Woo Is Me', especially as its my favourite colour in the palette and two, the lack of a warm toned brown. 'Head Over Heels' is very cool toned and I just think a warmer tone would have worked better with the other colours, plus you know I love my warm toned eyeshadows.
At £29 this doesn't come cheap and my advise would be to skip this and buy Urban Decay's Naked 3 palette instead. Naked 3 costs a little bit more at £37.00 but you get twelve eyeshadows which are all amazing quality.
I knew I should have bought the blush, damn it!
Bare Minerals True Romantic collection is available online from Bare Minerals.
This palette looks really pretty in the pan, I actually especially love the matte grey/taupe colour. And also love your blog btw :D
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I definitely got suckered in by the packaging on this one!
DeleteI almost bought this in a kit on QVC with the blusher and an eyeliner too! I'm glad I didn't though because I already have the Naked 3 palette! :)
