When the Naked Basics Palette came out, it created such a splash that other drugstore brands wanted their piece of the matte eyeshadow craze. Mattes were back in style and who can blame these eyeshadows? They're subtle and look beautiful in all situations on all types of women, especially the nude variety.
Strolling along the stores one day, this particular palette caught my eye and it was on sale on the Flormar counter. This is a Turkish brand and not very well known, but I have sampled their products and always felt them to be top notch. On closer inspection I noticed that this palatte had all matte shades. It was too good to be true. I thought they'd be chalky, or really hard so that there would be hardly any color pay off even though they looked to vivid in the pans. But this is what I found out:
Price: On sale for about 25 dhs, original price about 40 dhs.
Packaging: Sort of old fashioned plastic, twists open but lid seems loose.
Product: The shadows are soft, buttery, pigmented and glide on easily. Blending requires a little effort, and primer helps with staying power.

Palette no. 47, doesn't have a name nor do the shadows.
The first 2 shades: A deep dark brown with gray undertones and a medium brown. These are single swipes, can be built up.
A light peach color ideal for base shade for lids and a pale yellow vanilla shade for highlighting brow bone.
Its a nice palette if you buy it on sale and perfect for everyday wear.
