Pixi - Sensual smokey eyes mini palette review

I purchased this palette earlier this year whilst I was still living in America. It was in the clearance section at target for only $6.98 which I thought was a total bargain so had to pick it up. The colours are really cute, and the shadows are quite pigmented so you don't need much product to really achieve a good colour.

On the back of the palette it says

This kit is designed for you to achieve a sensationally energizing smokey eye - a real classic with a twist! Each liner has a coordinating crease colour and a matching lid and highlight colour to perfectly work together. Use shade 1 as a liner, shade 5 in the crease, and shade 9 on lid and brow bone to highlight - pure perfection!

So basically it tells you how to achieve a classic foolproof look. Not to sound silly but unless I read the back I would have had no idea the colours were meant to be matched lol.

Here are a few photo's of the palette and the colour's of the shadows.



I will try take some swatches and add those a bit later on too!

Overall I would give this palette 7/10. It was a great bargain, it is a great size to just slip in your handbag and the colours really have a good staying power. I think the only improvements that could be made would be for a small brush to be included, so that if you are using it on the go and don't have a brush you won't have to use your fingers. Also for possibly slightly more durable card to be used. Although it is pretty resilient, if you carried this around alot I think it might get quite tatty quickly.
