MUA Luxe Pretty Edgy stud eyeshadow palette review with swatches

Ok, my new years resolution is to make more use of my blog. Not only for beauty purposes but also to document our everyday life and the special moments that happen:) And I think this year there is going to be at least one very special moment, but I will talk about it in my next post!

Today I wanted to review for you a new eyeshadow palette from Make Up Academy Luxe.

It is pretty obvious I am talking about new MUA Pretty Edgy palette.

It's safe to say that I was won over by the packaging alone! It's gorgeous, it's edgy, it doesn't feel cheap or flimsy but it's not too bulky considering the studs...



The outer case is shiny so you can see finger marks quite easily however just one swipe of a wet wipe or tissue gets rid of all the mess which is a bonus if you like keeping your palettes nice and tidy:)



These are the names of the colours in the palette.
From left to right top to bottom:
Antique, Bow, Toile, Ruffle, Flounce, Lace
Sinful, Gothic, Wrath, Envy.



Those are the colours taken without flash in natural light.

Swatches of top row here are gorgeous. Picture taken in natural sunlight. They are subtle and shimmery with great array of colours from very light through neutral to more browney ones.


The bottom row is all matt, and yet again the colour combo in here is fantastic! Sinful is a perfect colour for blending the crease, very subtle and skin like and the rest of colours are fantastic to accent the outer corner of the eye. Can I also add that I am super impressed by MUA for coming up with such pigmented matt eyeshadows! Picture taken in natural sunlight.


All in all the quality of the eyeshadows is great, considering the price. I love all the shimmery colours and I am very impressed by the matts in this palette. Most of the shades are nice to work with. You might experience a little bit of fallout on some of the eyeshadows but you come across this in higher end palettes as well so it's not a huge problem. 

The variety of colours is perfect for everyday use but also you can create a stunning evening look with those. I absolutely love the packaging and did I mention it has a huge mirror inside which is a huge plus especially if you want to take a palette with you when you are travelling! 
I found myself using this palette on everyday basis for the last couple of weeks so for me it's an absolute must have!

I bought it for £8 on MUA website as my local Superdrug doesn't have it in stock.
