A makeup collection inspired by chocolate and created by Etude House. That combo I did not want to miss so placed an order at Jolse.com for one of the eye shadows from the Give Me Chocolate collection. This is a limited edition collection launched for Valentine’s Day and consists of a few nail polishes and three eye shadow duos, packaged to look like chocolate bars. There are three shades of these eye shadow duos – Salted Caramel, Cacao Fudge and Cherry Truffle priced at $8.50 each and I got the last one.
Etude House Play Color Eyes So Chic Play Eyeshadow Palette – Swatches
Etude House Play Color Eyes So Chic Play Eyeshadow Palette |
There are two palettes available – So Hot Play which consists of more darker colors and So Chic Play that has mostly neutrals and sparkly shades. Each palette has ten shades with a finish of sparkle, shimmer and matte. Here are the shades of the So Chic Play palette:
- Coco Brown (matte)
- Clutch Brown (sparkling)
- Pop Champagne (sparkling)
- French Kiss (matte)
- Misty Rose (matte)
- Diva (shimmer)
- Glam Forest (sparkling)
- Midnight Star (sparkling)
- Sparkling Wine (sparkling)
- Leopard Brown (matte)
First impression – Very pretty shades and perfect if you are a shimmer and shine girl. The lighter matte colors are slightly low in pigmentation but Leopard Brown is a super pigmented shade. The sparkle shades will probably have a bit of a fall off so a base is very much needed. My favorite colors are Glam Forest, Midnight Star and Sparkling Wine. Only problem with the palette is that the shades are not well glued together to the base. Dunno if it got wobbly during the long travel to India or whether that’s the case with all the palettes.
Take a look at the swatches. Full review coming soon.
