Review -- Sonia Kashuk Eye Couture Eye on Neutral Shimmer Palette

Several months back, I reviewed the Sonia Kashuk Eye Couture Eye on Neutral Matte Palette  and pretty much declared that everyone should have it.

The palette includes just about every natural/neutral eye shadow shade that you could ever need in an amazing matte formula that makes them super versatile.

It's rare that a day goes by that I don't use at least one shadow in the palette in my eye look.

Because I loved that palette so much, I decided that I had to give the Sonia Kashuk Eye on Couture Eye on Neutral Shimmer Palette a try -- because it's pretty much the same concept at the matte palette except all the shadows have a shimmery finish.

And I love me some shimmer.

Besides, because the matte formula was so good, I figured the shimmer shadows would be just as good -- because it always seems to be easier to get shimmery, metallic or satin finish shadows right than matte, doesn't it?


Well, the Eye on Neutral Shimmer Palette definitely didn't disappoint.

I wouldn't say it's as essential as the matte version just because you may already have pretty nice shimmery natural shadows in your collection already -- but if you don't, this is definitely a palette worth picking up.

Like the matte palette, it contains 12 shadows that range in color from champagne to dark charcoal and everything in between.

(The shadows shades aren't named.)

The shades mostly lean toward the warm end of the spectrum, but there are a couple of cooler toned shadows too.

All of the shadows are nicely pigmented, soft, and blend like a dream, so they're very easy to work with.

My one complaint with the palette might be that there aren't one or two more light shades, but that's really a minor quibble.

The palette retails for $19.99 at Target and Target.com.

If you're in the market for some shimmery natural eye shadows, I definitely recommend checking this palette out.
