Catrice Absolute Rose eyeshadow palette in Frankie Rose To Hollywood

We are not half way through the year yet, but I am convinced that the Catrice Absolute Rose eyeshadow palette in Frankie Rose To Hollywood will be my number 1 budget beauty make-up item of 2015.

‘Soft nudes and trendy rosé shades – sometimes matt and sometimes shimmering – create a beautiful natural look no matter whether they are used solo or as a team.’

Catrice Frankie Rose To Hollywood eye shadow palette review

I apologise for using the image from Catrice, but my photos just don’t do the shades justice. Plus I can’t take anymore pics as I have already hit pan on 2 of the shades.

I have been using this palette every day for 2 months. Every single day. The shades are truly gorgeous. The shadows are soft and buttery and look beautiful once applied.

Shades 1 and 2 are pretty decent highlighters. Shade 1 is more matte and shade 2 will give your inner corner some shimmer.

Shades 3 and 4 are stunning. Both are shimmery shades; enough to give you a beautiful look for night, but subtle enough for day. I use both over the whole lid before I add Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze. The combination of these shadows are my go to look for day and night. I have not reached for anything else for months. Sorry for the dust darling MAC and Bobbi.

Shade 5 is the perfect shade to fill my brows. I also use it every day.

The only shade that I don’t use is shade 6. Just because it is not my cup of tea. It still is lovely.

The only downer is the fact that the shadows can be a bit messy when brush hits shadow. Also the brush (but that’s not news). Will these negative points stop me from buying this palette? Hell no.

I adore this palette and I will most definitely be rushing to a Catrice stand soon.

Catrice Absolute Rose eyeshadow palette in Frankie Rose To Hollywood retails for R90.

Dose up on vitamins this winter with Juliette Armand’s Vitamins Complex Serum

My skin hates winter. With a passion. My skin gets extremely sensitive and does not like the constant drop and rise in temperature and the harsh winter wind. Think dry, blotchy, red, scaly. Not a pretty sight. The Juliette Armand Vitamins Complex Serum has been my skin’s saving grace of late.
