I've been eying up the FashionistA products for a while, since my local Superdrug had a bit of a revamp there was a brand new cashing with it all in, coming in in small bits. They store had had the eye-shadow pans in for weeks yet they never had any of the palattes left to make up one of their key lines - the Custom Design Palatte. I wanted to go down a bit of the smoky dark eye look so I opted for the cosmetic shade double take, silver lining, sultry and night sky.

Fashionista brand themselves as bringing the catwalk to the high-street for pretty affordable prices since mid September. Their Custom Design Palatte can be filled with a huge colour range of pans, from forty-nine eye shadows and twelve blushers so there really is a colour for everyone. The palatte itself comes in either red (as featured here) or black with container fittings for four eye-shadow/blusher pans and comes with a huge mirror - the mirror which is the same size as the box is a massive plus as with a few palattes your not supplied with them and this is nice and clear which makes it really handy for carrying your palatte around.

The packaging is lovely and clear and totally not over pushy or branded which I prefer. Additionally the pans are really easy to push up from the bottom to detach them from their outter casing. They with a snuggle fit they pop into the pan wells within the palatte itself. What's even better is when flipping the casing over, your still able to see the name of the eye shadow. Using the palatte is really easy, it's solid and the pans themselves are large so you get a good amount. The colours are well pigmented and apply and blend really well, you don't need a lot of any of the shades because they do really go far. I've noticed when using some brands the shadows sometimes "flake" when your using your applicator within the pan but so far that hasn't occurred with this one.

I would highly recommend using and making your own palatte selection, while you might be paying a little more compared to MUA I love having that freedom in picking colours you're more likely to use and with the huge array of colours then there really is a colour to suit you.

Have you tried any of the fashionista products?

  4. Oh! I saw these but I remember at the time I thought it was a little bit pricey to create your own palette - but I suppose not if it is good quality and you will use each colour. Plus that Double Take is just beautiful. Worth another look I reckon! x
