Moonlight Pearl

 Hello,

this palette stole my heart the minute I saw it online. The mermaid theme and cool toned color scheme did it for me. Fingers crossed that the formula is just as good as they are claiming to be.

It is Flower Knows eyeshadow palette from Shell's Jewel Collection in the shade Moonlight Pearl, the cool toned option with six shades inside.

I love that the shape is an oyster and shades inside are the true pearls (figuratively speaking)  :)

Just the details up close. There are shells and starfish sprinkled all over and there is also pearl shift on the light grey panelling, very beautiful.

I love that they continued the theme with the pans, it just ties everything together. Four of them are matte and two extra sparkly shades.

I am starting with the first sparkly star which has a bit of a cool toned champagne base and lots of sparkles. It is buildable and very sparkly. Most of the sparkles are silver (app. 60%) and there are gold (app. 40%). The effect is still cool toned.

Next is the biggest pan in the palette. Shade is soft but on my skin it deepens and it is cool toned rose shade. Light enough to be worn all over or layered to deepen outer corners in the unusual shade.

Second star does not have a base color. Most of the particles are pink and there are also some silver ones in between. 

Bottom row starts with a cream matte shade, it blends into my skintone even though it is a slightly paler but it is great to set my primer or soften the deeper shades. I wish they would offer this one in the largest pan because it will be the first to be used up :)

Grey in the middle can be very pigmented, great to deepen my outer corners or apply it in a more sheer matter to use it as an all over base over my entire lid. Did I mention that I like cool tones on my eyes?

Last shade in the pan looks soft matte brown but on my skin it has slight berry tone. I am not the biggest fan of this one but I appreciate something different to try it out.

My skin has this tendency to make everything warmer, even the grey (second to last) has warmth in it :) I am always on the hunt for a useful and everyday cool toned palette.

Here I tried to captured both shimmers but my camera just can't capture the beauty of them, here they look very meh but in real life they are beautiful but also not that different from one another. Silver is the main and recurring shade of sparkles.

This palette takes a lot of space which I don't love but the outer packaging I find very nice. Shades look beautiful in the palette but are different on the skin. I love the sparkles but they are very shiny and obvious so I don't wear them everyday. The one in the largest pan I wish would be cooler and less rosy, last one comes off too berry and grey is not cool enough for me. As a whole, this palette looks lovely but on my skin and paired with my taste I see that I just don't love it. The shades aren't my everyday colors and while I will still use it it will not become my favorite one.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
