I'm not entirely sure if this palette is actually "out" yet, as the Boots.com website still says something about a waiting list and I've yet to see it pop up on the Superdrug site, but while browsing my local Boots today, this was sitting on the shelf under a note that said "la riche eye palette". I've heard a wee bit of buzz surrounding this of late, and after getting hold of it its pretty easy to see why. As I said, I only bought this today so I've not tried it properly - this is purely a swatches and first impressions post based on what I've seen of the texture of the shadows.
The first five shades in the palette. For the most part, muted rosy tones. Similar to the Naked 3 colour family.
The second lot of shadows. These are all slightly darker but still very wearable. I'd have no trouble wearing these day to day alongside the lighter tones in the palette.
The swatches. As I said, the first shadow doesn't really show up on my skin and isn't visible in the photo. The black intrusion you see to the far right is a tattoo, apologies - I ran out of arm space while swatching.
The formula of these is soft and buttery to the touch - this is my first experience with L'Oreal eyeshadows and I have to say I'm quite impressed. The mattes felt no drier to the touch than the shimmers do, and I think they'll all blend quite nicely.
The palette is £14.99, which I think is quite expensive given that it's a high street offering, but the quality is there if you don't mind paying a little extra for it. I found this in Boots, but I daresay it'll be available in Superdrug at some point in the future. I've not seen an official release date for it anywhere, so who knows when it'll be popping up.
What do you think of the colour selection? Are you still liking the pink tones, or think it's getting a bit samey now?
