Sonia Kashuks Eye Shadow Palette in Eyes on Neutral -02 Review and Swatches!

Hey guys!! I hope your week is off to a great start!! Its Turkey Week and Black Friday is coming up!!! I cant wait to hit those SALES!! I know for sure sephora has some great deals you can check them out on one of my favorite blogs to read Nouveaucheap.blogspot.com (nouveaucheap.blogspot.com ) She does great reviews on drugstore products, has dupes for everything, shows you local drugstore sales happening with coupons! GIRL DOES HER RESEARCH!!!
So today I will be reviewing the Sonia Kashuk Eyeshadow Palette in Eyes on Neutral-02. You can find this palette at target for $19.99(check target.com for coupons because they usually have a few bucks off of any sonia kashuk purchase) This palette contains all matte shades( which I love!!! because I have way too many "WOAH GIRL!!! I LOVE THAT SHIMMER!!!!" shades. (lol)

It contains 12 matte neutral shades (durr you could probably get that from the title) xP
It comes with a pull out slide thingy (nice description I know!) with instructions and ideas on how to use the shades to create beautiful eye looks. Look number one is a softly contoured eye look using shades 1-5 on your lid and 6-9 in the crease and you choosing which would best fit your skin tone. Look number 2 is a wash of neutral eye look using shades 4-11 all over the eye and 8,9, or 12 in your crease, again you choosing which best fits your tone. The last look is a smokey eye look using 8-11 on your lid and 12 from lashline to crease with a light application.
The shades are numbered 1-12 from top left to bottom right(sorry you can barely tell in the picture). These formulation of these shadows are great! the are soooo smooth and kinda creamy/soft feeling and are very pigmented(in the swatches are hard to see on me because they match my skin tone). HOWEVER. some are powdery like numbers 4,6 and 12 for sure! You should tap your brush before applying these to help avoid fallout. They have great lasting power, but i still use a primer just in case I get oily.
Here are some swatches!!!

The left picture shows (6 shades) from top left to bottom right shades 1-6. The picture on the right shows the last 6 shades (7-12).
In conclusion I really LOVE this palette! I tend to reach for it everyday for a natural "no makeup makeup" look (if I want some natural shimmer I will reach for my NYX 10 shadow collection (or whatever its called) in caviar and bubbles(I think lol) and use the neutral shades on top of these ones! Add this to your x-mas list guys!! ITS GREAT!!!!!
