Holiday 2013 - Profusion Palettes

Hello again readers!

Oops! I accidentally posted this before I added any text. My bad!

Anyway, this Holiday season Profusion has been busy putting out a bunch of palettes, and a certain set caught my eye. Each  of these palettes, is ONE DOLLAR. Yes, you read it right, one dollar for five shades. Now, are they worth it? Hm, I wasn't sure. Now I have these swatches for you, so I hope you enjoy them!

They're all shimmers, and they are all wonderful shadows.

Each of these palettes has a numbered name, 01-04.

01:

The 01 palette is full of violets. You get a nice frosty white, a grey-toned lilac, a red violet, a blue violet, and a black, all of them shimmery. This palette is so wonderful, and you get so many uses out of it! I was impressed with the pigmentation, and that black is to die for!

02:

Palette 02 is the neutral palette, a must-have if you ask me. You get a nice champagne, a warm sand colour, a tan shimmer, a greenish-brown shimmer, and a deep brown shimmer. I kept getting blown away with these shadows.

03:

This palette isn't as versatile, but yet it's the first one I bought, for one main reason, which I will get to in just a moment. You get a warm tan, a nice brown, a lime green, a forest green, and oh yes, a navy blue! The navy blue is more than I could have ever hoped for, and it's absolutely perfect!

04:

Palette 04 is the least workable out of all of them, mostly because of how bright they are! If you love bright colours, then you need this in your life, but I'm a huge fan of darker colours and neutrals. 

You get a bright yellow, a pink, a light mint, a beautiful periwinkle, and a steal-your-breath-away cobalt blue. The colours are not disappointing in the slightest, and if you want attention, you're sure to get it with these!

These palettes have raised my standards on cheap drugstore products, I mean honestly, they're only a buck! 01, and 02 are must-haves, truly they are. They're so versitaile! I've already purchased backups, and I won't be looking back!

Thanks for reading!

Midnight Fever Profusion Palette

Hello again readers~

In December, Profusion launched two (VERY CHEAP) palettes. Midnight Fever, and Sultry and Neutrals.

Each of the palettes had ten shades, an applicator, and an eyeliner.. The Sultry and Neutrals were lighter (day), and Midnight Fever were darker (night). Since I prefer darker colours for my eyeshadow, I picked Midnight Fever.

The palette is just cardboard and plastic with a little mirror. The plastic houses the pans, the eyeliner, and the applicator.

Pros:
- Can get a lot of looks using these ten shades
-Super cheap, $5
-Easy to store
-If you apply them wet they look amazing
-Can go from a day look, to a night look

Cons:
-If you only apply them dry, they don't give as much payoff
-A couple of the shades are a little flaky in texture
-The shadows give fallout

Overall: 4/5
The palette is a little tricky to work with, but if you apply the colours wet over a primer, it gives you a wonderful payoff. I also like that the first five are lighter, and then the last five are darker, so I'm glad I chose this palette. I get both kinds of looks in one palette, instead of just a light neutral look that Sultry & Neutrals would have provided.
