When I first received these two palettes in the post I thought I would half to ring in sick off work the next day so that I could have a day just to be with them. They are the softest and most pigmented eyeshadows I have ever seen in my life. Ever. Unleashed should have been called un...friggin...real. You barely touch it and suddenly you are covered in vibrant shimmering colour... it is stunning. I absolutely love the dark matte shades as they have amazing colour pay off and are easy for a newbie like me to blend.
They're not all the shadows are perfect, some of them are powdery and pale and let the side down a bit. I think if you lifted the lighter shimmery shades out it would actually improve these palettes as they are crap and it makes the palette seem crapper than it is.
These palettes cost me a lot. A lot a lot a lot. I am in the UK and I ordered them off Nordstrom in the USA so I had to pay shipping and handling which was almost the same price as the shadows themselves. But what can I say? I'm a collector!
So considering how very much I paid for these I am surprised by how little I use them. I mean, I think I have used them once. Why is this? I have no idea at all. Maybe I just don't see many exciting everyday looks coming out of these guys? It's probably just that I have so much makeup that they have just been pushed to the back of the shelf. Sometimes I think I need a holiday where I have to limit the amount of makeup I can bring with me. Perhaps if I had a week alone with these guys I would really utilise them and try hard to come up with some exciting looks? Note to self, book holiday for me and Lorac palettes!
