FRAULEIN 88 ultra shimmer palette!


Hey! Firstly I would like to say that I have been sent this product from the company Fraulein, for review....so a huge thanks to them for supporting my blog! So anyways on with the review. Those of you guys that love the coastal scents style palettes will love this brand as they have a fantastic range of palettes available, from eyes, lips to face etc. They do deliver to the UK and it is reasonable! The package was well packed i.e tons of bubble wrap and nothing came shattered, what a relief eh! The product I have is the 88 ultra shimmer palette and as you can guess it includes 88 shimmery/pearly shadows. Here are my opinions on it after having used them for a couple of days.

Lovely box...good quality and glossy! The size is nice and slimline/compact for those of you who travel a lot or are makeup artists this palette should fit well in your kit.

There are varieties of shades from neutrals to bright funky colours. My favourites are the bronzey/smokey ones shown on the right most of the palette. On the far left I have found the beige and champagne like tones are great for highlighting under your brows and brightening up your inner corners.

Here is a close up of some of the brighter shades for all you adventurous girls! The consistency of these shadows is very smooth although I have to mention some of the orange shades are a little chalky for my liking and require a little warming up. The ones that are less shimmery are not as pigmented but due to the gorgeous shimmy shimmy ones I can let this go haha!
Finally some swatches...the top two are my absolute loved shades! Super bronzed eh! All in all this palette is worth it! It was affordable and trust me I know the meaning of the word budget because I am a student lol I think I am tempted now to go and buy their lip palette and perhaps their fake eyelashes which looked interesting! Oh and their airbrush kit!! I have been looking for one and was so excited when I saw it :)
