Etude House Fantastic Color Eyes Bohemian Soul Review

Hi!

      Gosh, it seems like it's been SO long since I've posted anything and honestly, the only excuse was that my camera was giving me the hardest time in the entire world. Seriously, I couldn't figure it for the longest time. Some how though, I've figured out a trick. It's super complicated and hard to explain, so I don't even think I know how I did. But here I am, able to upload MY own pictures and it is wonderful! Without further ado, I'm gonna talk to you about my first Etude House eye shadow experience. (Honestly, I forgot all about this palette..... oops :) )

    So I saw this back in October and what really stood out to me was that big ol' limited edition stamp on it, and the color schemes. I chose Bohemian Soul, because I'd actually wear the colors provided. I have this horrid habit of buying makeup in colors that I would never wear anywhere or with anything. I decided to go with the safer of the two available palettes. // typical Grace move//

     Anyhow, first off, I've never tried any eye shadows from Etude aside from this, so I wasn't really sure what to expect from this, but I decided that this was the perfect excuse for me try em' out.

   This palette gives you six warm toned corals with 1 pearl finish, 1 cream product, 1 shimmery, and 3 uber glittery shadows. It also comes with a disposable sponge that, surprisingly, is one of the better of application methods. I find that the shadows have a powdery texture (except for the cream one, obvi which f.y.i. smells like roses) and take quite a few swipes to build up.

Shade Descriptions:

Folk Song: A mocha brown base color with a pearl cast and finely milled gold shimmers
Apricot Jam: A bright peach color to give eyes and cheeks a fresh look with a soft cream formula
Ethnic Coral: A pink rose with small gold and coral glitters
Gypsy Queen: A cream colored glitter with purple and gold accents
Wanderlust: A copper with small gold glitters finely milled in
Freedom: A warm chocolate brown with gold flecks sprinkled throughout

   The texture of the shadows are nice, but the problem is they don't last very long on their own and lack pigmentation. It'd probably be best to use a primer with these, especially the glitter ones, since they have the most fall out.
    Back to that whole application process thing I mentioned earlier, You legit cannot apply this with a dry brush! You will get the smallest amount of color on your lids and would take you forever to build up. You can either use your fingers, or the sponge they provide you with. If you REALLY want to use a brush, you could take a firm one and wet it before use.

Pros:
Nice colors
Smells like roses ;)
Well packaged

Cons:
Lots of glitter fallout
Bad pigmentation
Hard to apply
Limited Edition

Overall Rating: (DRUM ROLL PLEASE)
3.5/5

    That's it for today guys! I'm so happy that I figured out my camera and can give you the posts I want to with fun pictures and everything! I love you all so much and I'm so blessed and thankful for you all! Seriously, this is one of my most favorite things to do and I love sharing it with you all. I love you people so much, Muah!
