JUVIA'S PLACE The Warrior 3 Palette

This is the newest Juvia’s Place Palette I have tried. I’m not going to lie; it was the packaging design that sold me. The packaging for the palettes is always stunning and always reels you in before the colour story does! It appears that BeautyBay.com no longer stock this brand, but it looks like there will be a Juvia’s Place UK website at some point this year.
 
THE PACKAGING
The packaging is square shaped cardboard with bright blue, purple and pink colouring and a beautiful African woman design on the front. It has a magnetic closing and when the lid is lifted it reveals the nine eyeshadow pans on a bright sky blue background. The eyeshadow pans are very large circles and the shade names are written in white under each pan.
THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA
You get nine 3.6g eyeshadows/pressed pigments in Matte (M) and Shimmer (S) finishes.
 
·        Highly Pigmented
·        Vegan
·        Cruelty-Free
 
THE SHADES & SWATCHES
Maasai - deep emerald green (M)
Nzinga - canary yellow (M)
Kahina - cerise pink (M)
Jarawa - fire engine red (M)*
Candace - vibrant violet (M)*
Fanti - bubblegum pink (M)*
Kongo - dodger blue (S)
Karama - slate grey blue (S)
Gola - cerulean blue (M)
 
The shades marked with an asterisk (*) are Pressed Pigments. According to USA Law, Pressed Pigments are not intended for use around the immediate eye area as they can cause temporary staining to the area of skin they are applied to.
 
MY THOUGHTS
·        Primer/Base - The eyeshadows are pigmented enough without a primer or base, but I would always layer one down. I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance and Too Faced Glitter Glue.
·        Pigmentation - The pigmentation is great.
·        Application (wet/dry) - The eyeshadows can be applied wet or dry. I always use mattes dry, unless I am applying them to my lower lash line or using them as eyeliner. I sometimes apply metallics/shimmers wet, but it depends on the formula and whether they contain glitters. Wet application can max up the pigmentation and help prevent fallout.
·        Blending - They do blend quite well, it took a little work but only because the shades are so bright and you want them to look seamless when blended together.
·        Kick-Back - Obviously, there is always going to be kick-back in your eyeshadow pans as you are disturbing powders. The kick-back was not a concern or issue for me in this particular palette.
·        Fallout - I only notice slight fallout with the Kongo shade. Applying a good tacky base can minimise this.
 
I absolutely love the packaging design and the colour story is very fun and festival looking. The overall formula is great, I’ve tried a few other Juvia’s Place Palettes and the formula is consistent. My favourite shades are Maasai and Kongo. The shade Nzinga doesn’t show up too well on my skin tone, so I had to keep layering it to get some colour payoff.  There’s also a shade in the Tribe Palette called Maasai, which is actually a bold lime green yellow shade. I’m not sure why they reused the shade name. I also wish that Karama was maybe a lilac, lavender or purple shimmer, just to add a little more variety as both shimmer shades are blue toned. I did sort of struggle for look inspiration as the shades are sort of opposing colours. I feel like for the shades that were included, maybe it should have been a larger palette with more shades, like a bigger festival edition. I did enjoy the quality of this palette, but sadly I will not get much use out of it.

Serial Sampler #33

I once sent off for a perfume sample from Lancôme on Facebook and periodically they still send me samples of their new perfume releases. I received this one a while ago (ages after it first launched), but I have only just got around to testing it.   It is Idôle by Lancôme and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   Launched: 2019   Type: Floral Notes Top: Pear and Bergamot. Middle: Turkish Rose, Rose de Mai and Indian Jasmine. Base: White Musk and Vanilla. It is a really light spring time floral scent. It isn’t too mature smelling and it is not overpowering. It reminds me of the Gucci Flora and Hugo Boss Ma Vie perfumes a little. I can really smell the Bergamot, Rose, Jasmine and Musk notes. It is a fresh floral scent and would be good for day time wear. I do really like it, although it isn’t my typical choice of scent. I personally won’t be buying a bottle of it, but I would recommend it and buy it for someone as a gift.   You can purchase the L...
