I have seen palettes by Certifeye on
BeautyBay.com before and always thought that they looked beautiful, but I
haven’t really heard anything about them from beauty influencers so I was
sceptical about purchasing one. I decided to purchase the one I knew I would
get the most use out of and it is exactly the colour story that attracts me to
palettes.
The packaging is quite simple. It is
made out of white cardboard and it has a rectangular shape. The design is quite
plain, it just says “Do good and good will come to you” across it in a berry
brush script font. It has a magnetic closing that you just lift up to reveal
the square eyeshadow pans. The pans are arranged in three rows of six and each
shade has its name printed underneath it. You can purchase this palette for
£30.00 from Certifeye.co.uk and BeautyBay.com.
You get eighteen 1.4g eyeshadows in
Matte (M) and Shimmer (S) finishes.

The eyeshadows should be soft and
smooth, which will make them super blendable. The eyeshadows should also be
very pigmented. This palette is vegan and cruelty free.
I was surprised by the quality of this
palette. The shades are ultra-pigmented and are soft and smooth in texture and
to apply. The mattes are super easy to blend and the shimmers are pretty. There
wasn’t any noticeable fallout, but of course there was kick back in the pans
(mostly from the mattes). I still recommend eye primer and glitter glue and
shimmer/metallic shades are always best applied wet, with your finger or a
stiff flat synthetic brush. The wear time of the mattes is great, but the
shimmer shades do fade a little over time. The red shade Lovebug does look more pink when it is blended out, which is a
little disappointing but a lot of red shades do tend to be pink based. The red
shade Fancy looks the same as it does
in the pan when blended out. I have no problems with the mattes but I wish
there were a couple more shimmer shades and I wish they were more rich and metallic.
Overall I am impressed with this palette, but the shimmers are a little lack
lustre in my opinion. I have a couple more Certifeye palettes to test, so I
will see if the shimmer formula is any different in those palettes. If you are
mostly into matte shades, they do offer a couple of matte only palettes. I
think they just need to up their shimmer game as that is my favourite formula (metallic
to be more specific).
