I first saw this palette in one of
Porcelain’s (Bridgette) YouTube videos and I instantly fell in love with it! I
tried to find it online to buy it, but it wasn’t actually available yet. So I
had to wait a bit, but I finally got my hands on this beauty. I believe
Cor-de-Rosa means Pink in Portuguese.
The packaging is long and rectangular
in shape. It is made out of peachy pink cardboard and it has a rose gold rose
design all over the front with the brand and palette names printed in white
font. It has a magnetic opening/closing, which you lift up to reveal the square
eyeshadow pans arranged on a warm beige base. The eyeshadow shade names are
printed under each pan in a metallic copper font. There is also a small long
rectangular mirror. You can purchase it for £39.00 ($49.00) from
SigmaBeauty.com, FeelUnique.com, BeautyBay.com and LookFantastic.com.
You get fourteen 1.16g eyeshadows in
Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes.

You also get a dual ended eyeshadow
brush; E38 Diffused Crease Brush and E54 Medium Sweeper Brush, which is under a
two year warranty.
The eyeshadows should be buildable,
blendable and highly pigmented. The palette is cruelty-free, but not vegan
(contains Carmine).
I love the packaging, overall design
and colour story. The pigmentation is great; I do still recommend using eye
primer/glitter glue. The matte shades are buildable and blend quite nicely. Two
of the metallic shades were a little hard to use (High Society & Dark
Night). They are really dry in texture and it was very hard to apply. I tried
using my finger and a brush and it didn’t make much difference. I dampened my
brush a little and then they worked slightly better. The metallic shade
Campfire is a different texture to the other metallic shades and this shade is
stunning and worked like I would expect a metallic to. There was only slight
kick-back from the matte shades in the pans; this isn’t an issue for me. You
only get a little fallout from the metallic shades that contain glitter. My
favourite shades are; Belle of the Ball, Sunsprite and Hybrid. The brush works
great too. They have synthetic bristles, which are my favourite kind of
bristles for make-up brushes. It’s a great addition to the palette. Overall, I
like the palette but I feel let down by the metallic shades a little. The two
metallic eyeshadows that are near enough too dry to use are pretty important
shades to the palette to be able to create diverse looks, not really being able
to use them/getting them to work is a pain. I wouldn’t really recommend the
palette based on the metallic shades.
