I just happened to be browsing on
Twitter a few months ago and I saw a post from BeautyBay that said this palette
was now available. I hadn’t seen it before, but I do already own a couple of
Juvia’s Place Palettes, so I am aware of the quality. I bought it straight away
and couldn’t wait to start experimenting with it. I have recently been
incorporating more colours into my eye looks.
The packaging is just like the other
nine pan eyeshadow palettes that Juvia’s does. It is square shaped cardboard
and a bright lime colour with a beautiful African design on the front. It has a
magnetic closing and when the lid is lifted it reveals the nine eyeshadow pans
on a shiny green gold background. The eyeshadow pans are very large and the
shade names are written in white under each pan. It is available for £19.50
($20.00) from Juviasplace.com and BeautyBay.com.
You get nine 3.6g eyeshadows in matte
(M) and shimmer (S) finishes.
Maasai - bold lime green yellow (M)
Oromo - bright tangerine orange (M)
Tutsi - vivid dark lime green (M)
Koro - gold champagne with green undertones (S)
Chaga - golden bronze with gold reflects (S)
Kuba - metallic dark emerald green with green reflects (S)
Ashanti - sultry russet tawny brown (M)
Kurla - bright rusty orange copper (S)
San - seaweed forest green (M)
The eyeshadows should be highly
pigmented and blend effortlessly. It is cruelty-free and vegan.
This palette is gorgeous! The packaging
and overall aesthetic is stunning. All of the shades are extremely pigmented,
soft and blend beautifully. I still recommend using a primer for longevity and intensity.
The shimmery shades are best applied using a finger or a synthetic dense
eyeshadow brush. Not one of the shades is bad. My favourites are Tutsi and
Koro. This is one of the most cohesive colour stories that I have seen from
Juvia’s Place. Usually, they have stunning bright shades, but it is hard for me
to create looks if some of the shades are not from the same colour group. My
favourite look I created with this palette was with Maasai and Tutsi in the
crease, Kuba on the eyelid, Chaga on the inner eyelid, Tutsi on the lower lash
line with a bit of San and then Koro in the inner corner of the eye for
highlighting. I cannot recommend this palette enough. I have my eye on a couple
more JP’s palettes, but the colour stories may be too adventurous for me, but
we will see.
The only strange thing was that this
palette was first available on BeautyBay.com for £30.00, but as of 15th
March 2020; it is now saying £19.50! I’m not sure if this means it is on sale
or that they have now changed the retail prices, but there is no ‘discount sale’
notice anywhere on the product page!!
