Review: Saffron Palette

Hi everyone :)

I received this as a gift at Christmas:
As you can see, it's had some use!

About the product

Saffron say: Well I can't tell you what Saffron say as they don't appear to have a website. Hmm. Sorry folks.

I say: I blooming well love this palette! The colours are highly pigmented and considering the price, I think that's pretty darn good really. As with every other eye shadow I use, I apply these over GOSH eye shadow base to give them staying power and better coverage. I've used this palette in a couple of FOTDs already you can check them out to see the colours if you like. I have noticed that my palette appears to be fragranced. However this isn't noticeable when applied and I've not had any irritation on my eye area.

Swatches
Swatches correspond to the layout of the palette

Price: Between £1-£3
Size: These palettes contain 12 shades, net weight 12g

Ratings
Product: 9/10
Price: 10/10
Packaging: 10/10
Overall: 10/10
Repurchase: Yes

I'm well aware, having had a browse at the above mentioned websites, that there are a few varieties of this palette. I'm not sure which one I have but there is a sticker that says '06' on it. So maybe I have palette 6 :) EDIT: I was clearly reading this upside down as it is actually Palette 9 :)

I have to say I have no idea where on earth to buy Saffron palettes from on the high street. I received mine for Christmas from my uncle, who, as far as I know does not use eBay or any of the above sites. If you've seen this on the high street, could you let me know please? Thank you darlings xx

  3. Hi. I was searching reviews for saffron eyeshadow palette and found your blog. I actually saw saffron products in a 99p shop in Leewisham, London around 2 weeks ago... but only mono eyeshadow though...
