"Bring on wearable neutrals with bold splashes of colour from Maybelline's Lemonade Craze. A fresh take on the classic palette, these pigmented shades offer endless possibilities. Softer hues to highlight, darker shades to amplify and define, and bright pops of citrus inspired colours to make your eyes pop!"
Like with the Smashbox + Vlada collection, the Lemonade Craze eyeshadow palette was something that I saw on Instagram (Trendmood) and thought looked fun, but assumed was a US only release as UK stores [I used to check displays in Boots & Superdrug almost every time I went in] have yet to receive it. However Amazon UK have just recieved it [different palette layout to the US edition, so it's not just overstock], so us UKers can now get our fiizz on...
Looking at Revolution's site and on the Superdrug site, the brand's best-selling eyeshadow palette [at the time] was the Soph x one, and it also has hundreds of 5-star customer reviews. Whenever something is hotly hyped and highly reviewed in the beauty community, I tend to get suspicious, especially when it is a collaboration with someone who already has a fanbase who will big them up, regardless of how the actual product performs. So me being me, instantly decided to order it, to find out if it really is as good as they all say it is...
Just to clarify; I'd never seen a Sophdoesnails tutorial until after I'd bought one of the palettes (to see what looks she did with it) - heck I'd never even heard of her, so having a particular name attached to it won't effect my overall opinion of it one way nor the other.
Today I'm spotlighting the third and final item I've bought from the new Smashbox collaboration with one of their creative editors - Vlada Haggerty [Vladamua]. I had thought that this collection was going to be a US-only collection, so was excited to come across it in Boots.
The Boots store that I went to had actually put the products in the Petal Metal collection out a few days early, so I've had some extra time to wear and test everything that I bought [in 25 to 28 degree Celsius weather], and now I'm ready to share my verdict on the final item that I picked up...
The new Smashbox collaboration with one of their creative editors - Vlada Haggerty [Vladamua] - is out in Boots now. I had thought that this collection was going to be a US-only collection, so was excited to come across it in Boots and had to snap up a few pieces quick.
The Boots store that I went to last weekend had put the products in the Petal Metal collection out a few days early, so I've had some extra time to wear and test every single shade in this eyeshadow palette [in 28 degree weather & no primer], and now I feel ready to share my opinions on it...
I visited the Boots store in Manchester's Trafford Centre a few days ago and got very excited - they had the new Smashbox collaboration with one of their creative editors - Vlada Haggerty [Vladamua], which I'd had thought was going to be a US-only collection!!
Naturally I have a few pieces to show you and I'm going to start with something that's fulfilled my disappointment with a recently reviewed item...
