Lime Crime Venus Immortalis Palette Review & Swatches

 Lime Crime Venus Immortalis Palette

Palettes in cool tones, to my joy last year you could often see among the new launches of beauty brands. It's a color scheme in which I feel very good, which I have an impression that complements my natural beauty much better and despite this, I have a shortage of just cool palettes in my collection. The more I was happy when Venus Immortalis I got as a gift.

 Last Christmas I got so many cosmetics that I will be writing probably their reviews until April hehe.

Lime Crime is a brand founded by makeup visionary Doe Deere in 2008. Their mission is to create products and experiences that transport customer to a magical world where you can express yourself unapologetically, experiment with every color of the rainbow and escape from looking like everyone else. Currently, they distribute make-up cosmetics and hair coloring. It's definitely gaining the greatest popularity on the American market, in Europe despite the fact that their cosmetics can be bought in well-known drugstores such as Sephora or Douglas, I have the impression that many people who are even interesting about beauty have never heard of them. I have been keeping an eye on their eyeshadow palettes for a long time, but unfortunately they are not the cheapest. Lime Crime Venus Immortalis costs £35 for 12.88g and contains eight eyeshadows:

• Unseen: Black (matte)
• Echo: Gunmetal silver (foil)
• Moth: Shimmer gray with baby pink shift (metallic) (truly more satin)
• Marble: Shimmer white (sheer iridescent)
• Unveil: Black-brown (matte)
• Ash: Slate gray (matte)
• Hail: Light silver (foil)
• Cameo: Cool cream (matte)

The packaging caught the eye, of course because of an interesting graphic design (quite specific for the Lime Crime brand), but unfortunately it is made of cardboard, so over the time, I am afraid that it will start to wear out and it will not look so nice anymore. It has a large mirror inside. Comes to us in an additional transparent plastic cover, which is very wonky for me. However, when you buying even much cheaper palettes for example from Colourpop, we get a corresponding graphic etuiu and here for £35 something like this.. They didn't try too much and it looks very cheap.

Pigmentation

This eyeshadows have a really nice, soft formula. They are well-pigmented, especially the white one Marble deserves a distinction because it doesn't need to be specially built to make it immediately visible on the eyelids.

 

Application

These eyeshadows are applied very quickly and easily. It is not a palette that requires advanced skills or experience. Foils and satins with shimmer reflects are much better to apply by your fingers.

Usefulness

These colors allow you to create both day and evening makeup thanks to the content of these beautiful browns, but the possibilities are quite limited. The palette has only eight shades, so this is quite normal. The only thing I miss in it are different finishes and I would definitely replace those satins (shade Moth) into the eye-catching metallic or even mattes, because it's not my favorite type of shadows. Such a finish is old-fashioned for me and I don't understand why the manufacturer chose it in his new collections. Some shades such as Cameo, Moth and Marble will not be visible on dark complexions and I would rather recommend this palette to lighter, pale skins to fully enjoy her possibilities. 

All Swatches Are Without Primer

To sum up it's a nice palette, especially for fans of cool tones and fair complexions. Especially worth attention are those pretty browns that match nicely to all mattes. Is it an absolute must have? Definitely no, this palette hasn't changed in any way my make-up life, but I am really glad that I have it. I would love to buy a other Lime Crime palette in the future.

Have you ever had Lime Crime eyeshadows?
