[Sponsored Post] Adorably shimmery Eyeshadow Palette from Born Pretty~❤

안녕~
Hihi everyone!~ Here is the second review kindly sponsored by Born Pretty Store. .  An absolutely sweet eyeshadow palette! ( ´∀`)☆ Thank you Born Pretty!~

This is my second eyeshadow palette review on this blog & certainly will not be my last as I'm starting to introduce eyeshadow more & more into my makeup looks. 
This eyeshadow palette is a off-brand I believe, as I never heard of Novo before (´ω`) But even off-brand makeup can be a gem! 

My Love Alpha palette is a off-brand & I've used it soooo much for tutorials as its really pigmented & perfect & you can even find it on BPS HERE

The colour patterns are a little bit difficult. It's not very straight forward but more of a mix.

It's easy to tell that palette 1 & 2 are brown-neutral shades.
Palette 3 - Maybe focusing on gold
Palette 4 - Blue?
Palette 5 - Definitely purple
Palette 6 - Neutral/pink?

Palette 5 with the purple looks so gorgeous but purple is difficult for me to pull off so I was going to choose Palette 1 but I find just wearing brown eyeshadow a little bit plain. I prefer more a brown with a subtle pop of colour - So I chose 6 because of the pink! I love salmon pink eyeshadow! (。・ω・。)ノ




 The eyeshadow palette comes in this chic cardboard packaging. It's actually rather pretty & attractive! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ Pearlescent & stripy gold-shine with the bright neon pink lettering is quite a eye-catcher.
Sealed with certified sticker & is a Chinese makeup product - I've never heard of Novo before, have you?
 I love the English on here - oh dear ㅠㅠ
 '. . . creat gapless lasting skin' - What?
Ah so cute (=ω=;) If I understand correctly, I think by 'gapless lasting skin' it means the eyeshadow will not crease.

 Isn't it pretty?~ (○´∀`○) Such a sweet pastel pink case~!
'Light & silky, Bright & charming, long lasting smooth eyeshadow'
The palette is made from a sturdy plastic & is rather petite at 10cm big & 1cm thick. I can wrap my hand around it! It's quite ideal for traveling & due to the sturdy plastic, will not damage that easily. 
 The case is easy to open with no nail casualties for me ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ It also closes securely shut which again makes it ideal for traveling. 

Lets open the case!~
Ta-daaaa~ The eyeshadows in all their glory (ノ*^▽^)ノ The palette even comes with a mini clean mirror!! 
I like how the palette does not look cheap but it still looks rather chic & lovely!

 The palette consists of a cream, pink, brown-purple, brown, gold brown & black.

The eyeshadow pans that are secured very well to the palette & the eyeshadow themselves came in perfect condition & were settled in the pans.
The eyeshadows can take quite a beating <`∀´> They do not crumble very easily even when I knocked one eyeshadow quite hard - It only made a tiiiiny dent with a slight fallout. The palette because of this, does not get messy that much.

Barely any 'earth-shattering' crumble when I knocked the eyeshadow.

This is one half of the palette consisting of cream, pink & brown-purple.

The creamy eyeshadow is such a gorgeous colour! It's very bright colour so you can use it for highlighting too! It's not too white so its perfect for highlighting my aegyosal.

The pink shadow is a salmon warm pink & is so pretty & delicate for a pop of shimmery colour.

The brown shadow is not very brown like in the photos. It has a purple colour to it when applied & is gorgeous!

The second half of the palette that consists of a brown, golden brown & black.

The brown shadow is a lovely chocolate brown~ It does not have much shimmers compared to the other shadows.

The golden brown is the most pigmented of the palette & is really gorgeous with its gold shimmers! 

The black is not as pigmented & its more of a grey-black with blue shimmers~ None the less pretty


The eyeshadows swatched out very well & are very silky & smooth. They all are very pigmented but the black needed a little bit more pressure to get a good swatch which is quite a surprise considering its the darkest colour. Despite that, the pigmentation does not disappoint & the slightest tap can transfer plenty of colour. ( ´∀`)☆

Cream - swatched as seen in the palette with plenty of fine shimmer. It's not too sheer, not too bright & not too glittery & just is a perfect base/highlight.
Pink - as seen in palette
Purple-Brown - a tiny bit more purple than seen in palette but is gorgeous!
Brown - same in palette but as you can see the shimmers are much less compared to the others. It turned out the shimmers were only on the surface of the pan & that the shadow turned out to be kind of matte with only a tiny bit of shimmer ㅠㅠ
Golden-Brown -  most pigmented & is absolutely beautiful swatched out
Black - More of a grey black when swatched & is a bit sheer so requires more layers/pressure.




This palette is a shimmer palette but its not shimmery to the point its glitter-ball~ It's really pretty & fine~ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ

I mentioned that the colour transfers very easily with the slightest tap. Above you can see how well the colours transferred to my finger after I tap the shadows veeery gently once (。’▽’。)

I applied Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer underneath the bottom half of swatches. 
The only difference is that the darkest colours seem a little bit more vibrant~ It's very good eyeshadow for its price that you do not have to use a primer with them!! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ These eyeshadows last long & my lids are not oily so I do not feel the need to apply primer with these eyeshadows.


The palette with a double ended sponge eyeshadow applicator. It's not too small to be fiddly & is 8½cm big. The sponge is very velvety smooth & easily picks up eyeshadow:-
The applicator applies the eyeshadow very lightly without making the colour too sheer~ The sponge controls the shimmer & does not create fallout dust~

I used the eyeshadow is different styles - Forgive my feeble attempts as my eyeshadow techniques are not makeup guru standards щ(ಥДಥщ);; 

Natural everyday look
I applied the brown shade along one third of my lower lash line & then applied the shimmery cream along the inner lash line & slightly under the brown to enhance my aegyosal. 
Different lens~


Subtle cut crease attempt
I applied the cream shade starting from the inner lid & blending out, then I applied the pink shade in the center of my lid & blended the two colours together~
For a more smokey look I lightly applied the black & the purple-brown in a V-shape, following my natural crease. I then applied the purple-brown on my lower lash line - Whew, so hard to explain eyeshadow!!
Cream shadows on brow bone
The black again appeared more grey-black but it's easy to build up for an stronger colour without fear of fallout powder!
Also in the selcas below, I applied the cream eyeshadow on my cheekbones using a blush brush for highlight!! - It looks so pretty for highlighting~~

Hyuna Red - Eyes attempt
I love Hyuna's makeup in her MV Red & I tried to create her gentle cut crease makeup with browns/golds!
I first created a higher crease by using the brown shadow & an angled brush. I drew it out in a kind of triangular shape! - I blended it out gently.
I then took the golden brown & lightly packed it inside the triangular shape with a little bit more of the brown shadow on top for a darker colour.
I applied a golden eyeshadow (not in this palette) on the inner lids & for my lower lash line I applied the golden brown on the outer one-third & the cream eyeshadow in the inner corner.
Cream shadow on brow bone
I created a small wing with a black shadow for a guide for my liquid liner.

 I really loved making this look! I also really love how I can easily blend the most pigmented shadows in the palette! The eyeshadows are very easy to control!

I love this palette!~
It has 6 versatile, beautiful shadow colours from neutral to dark that you can create many looks with! 
^^The black eyeshadow is quite sheer black-grey but can be built up easily without mess for darker look.
They are super easy to apply with as they transfer colour so well (no need for primer!) & have a gorgeous silky texture, making it easy to blend out to your tastes!- The shadows are long lasting & do not crease with my moistfull base makeup! ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ Makeup stills looks fresh as I applied in the morning~They appear to be all shimmery but the brown shadow actually lost its shimmers after just swatching it. It turned out matte but I've actually grown to love the brown so much - I use it for my everyday makeup!! <。`ω´。>
Also the shimmers are not chunky glitter & do not stick on your face~ Simply brush away with no shimmer lingering!
The eyeshadows apply really well via brush, the applicator included or just your finger! 

The shadows come in petite, sturdy little palette case that is so cute. It comes with a mirror & as mentioned a dual end applicator for convenience of travel & touch-ups! & all for $6.81? Totally worth it - Its such an off-brand gem (○´∀`○)

Pros
Cheap price on BPS!
Six different colour patterns to choose from
Simple yet adorable pink packaging - Sturdy plastic & petite for ideal travel
Comes with little mirror & dual-end applicator
Eyeshadows are not easily breakable - perfect for clumsy people like me!
Six beautiful colours ranging from neutral to dramatic.
Can create many different looks
Easy to use brush/applicator/fingers
Silky-smooth texture - Super easy to blend & no fallout!
Good pigmentation - No primer needed!
Shimmery shadows - Not too shimmery albeit one turned out a matte
Long-lasting without crease/fading

Cons
People who do not like a shimmery eye make-look may not like this palette
Black shadow needed to be built up for a darker colour
Brown turned out matte (I ended up loving it!)

Would I buy?
Yes! The price is so great & the eyeshadow even greater (´∀`) I find I'm going to have to do a big eyeshadow haul so as I'm using shadow even more in my everyday look!
