Hello there! I hope you're having a great weekend! I caught a stupid cold but other than that I am okay :P. Yesterday I watched the Maleficent movie and I adored it, I love how they altered the story from the fairy tale and Angelina was pretty badass as Maleficent! :D And her makeup up was pretty excellent too!

Anyway, to get to the point of this post today I will swatch for you the eyeshadow palette from p2 cosmetics. P2 is an Austrian brand that is also sold in Germany at the DM stores (as far as I know, if I am mistaken then my friend should correct me). It is a drugstore company that has all the certificates for their products' safety and they are dermatologically tested. They have a huge range of products, from foundations to nail polishes. From my personal experience every product I've tried so far was satisfying and of great quality especially for the low prices that they have. In fact, p2 is one of the VERY few companies that has foundations that don't flare up my skin and that, to me, means a lot since my skin is super sensitive to foundations and creams. To make a long story short, until now that I got this palette I hadn't tried their eyeshadows so I didn't know what to expect.
If I'm not mistaken this palette was a limited edition but fortunately my friend made sure she got it for me to try it :). As mentioned on the title, this palette has 18 shadows of 1.2 grams and of various finishes.
The palette itself as a container is of the classic plastic black ones with a firm closing section, little hard to open, sort of like the Sleek makeup palettes (if you have one, you'll know what I mean).
As for the eyeshadows I should try to explain each of them individually starting from up left moving to the right and then going to the line down and so on.
01: pale pink, matte texture with fine and very sparse glitter, it basically comes out as matte.
02: goldish, definitely super shimmery.
03: frosty pastel mint green, shimmery, pretty weak color payoff, the least pigmented in the palette.
04: icy light blue, shimmery.
05: orange toned brown, shimmery
06: pinkish red, it looks shimmery in the pot but applied it looks to me like a matte with fine glitter
07: olive green, shimmery
08: turquoise/teal, super shimmery
09: medium warm brown, matte
10: orange with somewhat gold shimmer
11: pale lilac, matte, the second weak from the palette
12: teal green, shimmery
13: sea foam blue, frost, not very strong either
14: dark cool toned brown, matte with some glitter
15: warm brown, matte
16: purple, slightly frosty
17: olive green, shimmery
18: navy blue, somewhat frosty
Here are the swatches in 3 different light conditions:
In general, the shadows perform better with a primer or a sticky base to show a good color payoff. Most of them swatched well on a base except probably 02, 03 and 11.
They are pretty blendable and you can create a LOT of different looks. Overall I am pretty happy with it. I believe you get a pretty good value of this palette as a color variety and quantity per shadow and price ratio. My only complain is that the brand doesn't sell internationally so we would all be able to grab these goodies whenever we want! :) I pretty much adore p2 cosmetics, they are definitely my favorite drugstore brand. :)
Here is my review on one of their foundations if you are interested: p2 foundation review
That is all for now, I will try to come back soon with other reviews and I also need to wrap up my summer haul, no? :) don't worry I have them all written down even if it goes till December. :P Ahahah
Take care!
