I'm a sucker for beautiful packaging. I fell in love with the Pacifica natural minerals eyeshadow palette packages. The color combinations, the designs, the gold! Once I stopped awing at the box I noticed that the eyeshadows inside were beautiful colors too!
I couldn't pick which one to get. I physically couldn't. So I ended up getting both: Mystical and Enlighten. They were each $11.99 which I thought wasn't bad. I actually thought they would be more.
I think I love Pacifica.
The above palette Is called Mystical. There is an iridescent, shimmery, powder pink highlighter shadow called Opal, a shimmery pearl champagne shadow called Celestial, a shimmery silver with lavender tones shadow called Moonbeam, and rich satiny blue violet shadow called Stargazer.
The shadows were a little powdery so there was a fallout when applying it. It was very powdery so it was easy to clean up. Besides that the colors were beautiful, just like they look in the palette. They were either rich in color or smooth and iridescent. Some shadows required me to build it up. They were really soft and had great staying power (At least 9 hours of still looking like it did when I first put it on).
This palette is called the 'Enlighten Eye Brightening Shadow Palette'. Like the Mystical palette these shadows are also 100% vegan without parables, FD&C color, talc, parabens or petroleum.
These 4 shadows are coconut infused satin and iridescent mineral shadows that are created to brighten the eyes. The first shadow is like a shimmery matte light beige called 'Skinnydip'. Next is a shimmery golden peach coral called 'Coral Sand'. The third shadow is a shimmery golden yellow called 'Golden' and the last shadow is an iridescent royal amethyst purple called 'Urchin'.
Overall I was so impressed with the Pacifica Brand. The quality of their eyeshadows was incredible. I always thought 'natural' or 'Vegan' makeup meant poor quality, color and staying power. These were some of the softest, richest shadows I have ever used. The colors were beautiful. The combination of shimmery and satin shadows made for great looking makeup application.
I definitely recommend Pacifica eyeshadows. At $11.99 I think that you get more than you pay for in terms of quantity and quality. I will definitely be checking out their other cosmetics. Pacifica is available at Target.
