Laura Mercier Free Spirit Baked Eye Palette Review

With my trusty Space NK card I have been getting points for quite a while, without realizing I have earned almost £30! So I decided it was time to spend, but i wanted something worth the money and so decided to go for a palette.

I'm a long time lover of Laura Mercier, religiously using their liners . I asked a worker in the shop (these girls are always so helpful) and told me about this new-ish palette. The thing that drew me to it was that it claimed the shadows could be used with water for a more intense colour, which is most defiantly true!

From Left to Right, Blue Zen, Soft Cloud, Satin Ribbon, Bare Yoga and Pink Tutu

These seeming plain colours come out beautifully, especially when used with water. They are also very easy to wear.

Having said that, the two pastille colours, Soft Clod and Pink Tutu are common and pretty uninspiring colours. You can almost certainly find jupes in the drugstore.

However, the remaining three colours are what makes the palette special. If you apply the brown tones with water they come out very vibrantly which I was not expecting from a pastille palette. Bare Yoga works really well in the crease with Satin Ribbon on the eye.

Onto the brush. This guy is double ended and works a charm. The one side works perfectly for blending and the other works well for contouring. 

I didn't think these colours would suit warm skin tones (like myself) and yet some how they do! I recommend this if you want to spend the money. This sells for £30 in Space NK, so not cheap. I think your money could be spent more wisely elsewhere, i.e. the Naked Palette is only £6 more and contains similar shades. But, I do think the wet and dry aspect is quite interesting and I look forward to some more experiments. 

Hope this helps!
