Day 25 – GLOSSYBOX ADVENT-URES – Iconic London Day To Slay Eyeshadow Palette

25/12/202029/12/2020 rhubarbandburble

Happy Christmas everyone! My Christmas Day has started really well. My Glossybox Advent Calendar has revealed a showstopper. It’s an Iconic London eyeshadow palette! Wow! And it’s a stunner. These shades are my typical go-to colours. Warm-toned peaches, pinks and nudes. I find they really compliment my green eyes. I am so happy with the finale and it certainly makes up for all the items which I’ve not been able to use which will be going into a future giveaway. I have never used or tried any Iconic London products, but I know they are hightly rated, especially the ‘Prep-Set-Glow Spray’. I am so beyond happy to have this in my life! Well done Glossybox, you’ve surpassed yourselves!

Iconic London Day To Slay Eyeshadow Palette

Watch my video with close-ups of the Day to Slay Eyeshadow Palette

Glossybox description: Featuring 20 mate, shimmery and glittery shades, this eyeshadow palette allows you to create endless looks for both the day and night. Build and blend the shades together to create a soft, smokey design, or use a wet brush to create an intense metallic effect.
RRP / £45.00
SHOP / https://row.iconiclondoninc.com/collections/eyeshadow-1/products/the-ultimate-day-to-slay-eyeshadow-palette

Box description: Create endless, beautiful looks with these 20 highly pigmented pink, peach, bronze and gold shades. These velvety soft powders include a mixture of mattes, shimmers and glitters for flawless day to night looks.

Iconic London website description: Create endless, beautiful looks with these 20 highly pigmented shades. These velvety soft powders include a mixture of mattes, shimmers and glitters for flawless day to night looks.

So many of our Baes got in touch wanting us to create an eye shadow palette – so squad, this one’s for you! Made up of 20 of the most unbelievably beautiful shimmers, mattes and glitters, you’ll be spoilt for choice when picking which to use. Our Ultimate Day To Slay Palette can be used with a wet brush to create a super-metallic, next level finish. High quality, crease proof, buildable and blend-able… what more do you want!?

(20 X 1.5g)

First Impressions: Now I’m not going to swatch this right now, as I’m going to feature this palette in a YouTube Video. But I will be sure to update you when I do. I will list the shades (from top to bottom and L-R) and attempt to describe them for you (I can’t tell the difference between shimmers and glitters in the pan at this stage, so I will just describe them as shimmers for now!):

In the nude: a light peach matte
Champagne Chic: a light copper shimmer
24K gold: an orange/gold shimmer
Deep soul: a warm, dark chocolate brown matte
VIP vibes: a peach/bronze shimmer
Copper me fancy: a copper shimmer
Ultimate tan: a mid-toned tan/peach matte
Closing party: a bronze/pink shimmer
Bronze BAE: a bronze/copper shimmer
Taupe d’taupe: a milk chocolate brown matte
Merlot Mondays: a muted mid-toned pink matte
Velvet crush: a dark brown/brown shimmer
Peaches & dreams: a mid-toned peach matte
Peach fizz: a champagne/peach shimmer
Bellini: a dark peach matte
Rags to riches: a peach shimmer
Icon: a champagne shimmer
Marshmallow: a very light peach matte
Wonderland: a pink/peach shimmer
Girl boss: a pink/brown shimmer

The packaging itself is foil-wrapped cardboard which is actually quite deep (¾ inch), and it contains a large, square mirror. It has a magnetic closure and an acetate sheet to help protect the shadows. The packaging design is a simple champagne gold metallic with embossed Iconic London logo.

After a little bit of research, I can see this palette isn’t new. There are some YouTube reviews going back for some three years. Although, I’ve never heard of it, so it feels new to me. So I will feature close-ups of the shadows in another ‘New to me’ eyeshadow palette video coming soon!

Day 10 – GLOSSYBOX ADVENT-URES – Zoeva Screen Queen Highlighting Powder Palette

10/12/202010/12/2020 rhubarbandburble

Found it! I could not find box number ten, until it was suggested to me that it might be hidden underneath another box. And there it was, underneath box number 25!
So, after the initial excitement that I had received a palette, I discovered that it was a highlighter palette. Meh!

Zoeva Screen Queen Highlighting Powder Palette

Glossybox description: Filled with three velvety smooth highlighters, including a champagne, lilac and peach hue, this palette allows you to create the ultimate ethereal glow. Apply the highly-pigmented powders onto the areas of your face that light naturally hits (think cheekbones, browbones and Cupid’s bow).
RRP / £15.00
SHOP / https://www.beautybay.com/p/zoeva/screen-queen-highlighting-palette/

Box description: Superior pigmentation. Easy to blend.

Beauty Bay website description: A three-shade highlighter palette. Velvety smooth and richly pigmented, Screen Queen Highlighting Palette is a classy addition to your collection. Channelling the glamour of old Hollywood’s beauty icons, this radiant trio blends effortlessly with the skin to deliver an enviable pearlescent finish.
Palette contains:

Aloof Beauty – Pearlescent champagne
Absolutely Flawless – Pearlescent lilac
Pearls And Fine Silks – Pearlescent bronze with peach undertones

First Impressions: The colours remind me of the Huda Beauty ‘Winter Solstice’ highlighter palette we received in the Glossybox Advent Calendar two years ago. That remains barely used. There’s something about these bright colours that puts me off. It appears to be a palette which wants to be all things to all people. Unless I use the shades as eyeshadows, I doubt I would get any use out of the darker two.
Upon further investigation, this Zoeva palette was released two years ago and is no longer on the Zoeva website. Beauty Bay and Debenhams have it on sale. So is this just a filler product? I would have thought the Advent Calendar would be reserved for products which are new to the market, requiring promotion. I am a tad confused. This palette will now remain unswatched, destined to end up in a future giveaway.
