L'Oreal Paris X Elie Saab Bridal Collection Eyeshadow Palette 100g

The colors are lovely, but it has quite a strong scent to it. It definitely smells of perfume and I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re allergic to that. 

Originally, I was most attracted to the packaging, it reminded me of early Biba design and I love anything vintage Biba.  The eyeshadows in this palette are beautiful! I am of the ‘older generation’ now, and some eyeshadows look awful on me due to ageing, crepey lids, but this went on so smoothly and I was so impressed by the colour pigment of each shadow. Many eyeshadows don’t look like they do in the palette once on, and I get frustrated trying to layer them to get the colour right! This does not happen with this palette! Love!

This is such a beautiful palette which is not done justice in the photographs!

The colour story is nice (not bridal at all, rather a fun summer palette). There is quite a bit of fallout, especially with the glittery ones. It has a strong smell, so I keep the palette open so that the scent goes away hopefully.  I cannot recommend this palette at all, unfortunately.  The lipsticks are nice though. 

Beautiful packaging, nice weight, case looked more expensive than it was. Colours are nice enough, but not really screaming “bridal”. Nothing that could be used as a brown bone highlighter and no suitable “base” or “transition” colour for me. The fallout was pretty bad, and I had to use a damp applicator brush to mitigate this. You get what you pay for I guess!

I wouldn't say the eyeshadow necessarily palette screams 'bridal', perhaps it's more suited for the honeymoon aspect? Can see the colours for this for sure working for darker skin tones, but the pigmentation may not be strong, the shimmery shades are cute though. The palette just isn't inclusive so much. The lipsticks are cute though, check them out. But with everything it's a hit or miss, personally, I'd give it a miss. Cute packaging though reminds me of 90's Barbie.
