Estee Lauder Eyeshadow Palette

Today I want to review the eyeshadow palette from Estee Lauder's "Blockbuster" make up kit.  I know that the kit varies (I believe depending on the country). I bought mine last year around Christmas time in the Netherlands. I think it was originally launched into the market in the end of 2009, but it's still available in shops.

The packaging is gorgeous - if it wouldn't be for the sticker with eyeshadow names on the back, it looks like a little fabulous clutch bag.

The palette contains 18 eyeshadows. Mostly shimmers - 11, satins - 6 and 1 matte. I would say the colors are neutrals with just a few brights. It has two small applicators (not particularly useful or good quality anyway..)

I have to say the eyeshadows are not very pigmented (except may be one or two), however they look rather beautiful. Here are some swatches I made..

I love the names of the eyeshadows!  It matches the color almost exactly!

Unfortunately, you can't buy the palette without the rest of the kit...But I have to say- the kit is amazing value for money, aside from the eyeshadows it has (at least mine has) 4 blushes, 3 lipsticks, lip gloss, mascara, makeup remover and 3 eye pencils in black, gray and brown. It retails for 80 Euros, but it's possible to get it cheaper.

Hope it was helpful. xo
