Hi lovely blog readers. :) This is the second part of my MUA product reviews. Continue reading to see my thoughts and views on the amazing Elysium Eyeshadow Palette (my choice of adjective is a subtle indication of which direction this review is going to go!)
The eyeshadows are encased in the transparent packaging which is typical of MUA palettes, however this is a slightly thicker palette. The reason for this size increase is to fit the dual ended eyeliner pencil which is included rather than the usual sponge applicator.
In the palette you get ten neutral eyeshadow shades; 4 mattes and 6 shimmers.Shades from left to right, top to bottom: Air (matte), Cherub, Charm(matte), Refine(matte), Entrance, Adore, Astral, Grace, Smoke(matte), Seraphim.

Upon swatching the shadows, I definitely noticed a resemblance between this palette and the Naked 3 palette with its rose-toned shadows. Charm and Refine are dupes for Limit and Nooner; two of my favourite matte shades from the Naked 3, which is great as I know those are the shades I will hit pan on first!
The eyeshadows are extremely pigmentated and like all MUA shadows, have great blendability. The eyeliners go on creamy and are pefect for whatever type of look you are going for; whether it's dark and smokey or light and open eyed.
The range of eyeshadows in this palette lend itself brilliantly for creating day or night time looks or for going from daytime to night time! Just pop it into your handbag and you're good to go! I know I'll be travelling with this a lot and leaving my Naked palettes at home.
This affordable palette is only £6 and one I would recommend to all makeup lovers!
Bye lovelies, until next time. Stay happy, healthy and appreciative of life. :) xxx
