frontcover to go palette

It was very hard to take a picture of as it's so shiny!
Left to right: Pale Gold, Black Spark, Powder Puff, Wisteria
I picked this little convertible palette up from the Carnaby Street Boots yesterday as both the eyeshadows and the palette were on a crazy deal... how could I say no?! The palette itself was reduced by 75% to £1.25 and then each eyeshadow was reduced by 75% too making them £1.00. Therefore four eyeshadows and a palette cost me only £5.25 - fab!

There wasn't a huge selection left of  the eyeshadows as they're obviously just trying to sell them off now but thankfully there were lots left of the more neutral colours which I was very happy about. Also as you may have guessed by now I prefer to wear more shimmery eyeshadows, which was perfect for me as there didn't seem to be much of a selection of mattes. Here are the ones which I chose -


I picked (from left to right): Pale Gold, Black Spark, Powder Puff and Wisteria

These are all such beautiful colours and the eyeshadows themselves are so pigmented. I really can see myself getting a lot of use out of them. Pale Gold and Powder Puff are the kind of colours I wear most days on my eyes with a little lick of mascara and I can see the shimmery navy of Black Spark being fab to liven up a smoky eye for a night out. However, Wisteria is the eyeshadow which I'm most excited about. In some lights it looks silver and in others more purple toned. I can't think of another eyeshadow I have which is quite like it so I can't wait to use it!

After looking on the Frontcover website here, I'm a bit disappointed that there wasn't a few more shades available so that I could maybe have filled two palettes. Burnt Toast, Twinkling Grape, Moonstruck and Cloud Dance look especially pretty!

I just had a look on the Boots website and they do have the palettes and some eyeshadows left on there but not a huge selection. Also have a look in your local shop as for the price and the quality of the products, I really do recommend snapping them up if you get a chance!

Have you tried any Frontcover items?

      I think it will be a great colour for all over the lid with something a little darker in the crease - so pretty! x

    I've been given Frontcover sets as gifts for birthdays/Christmas and I've been really impressed with the eyeshadows, especially the neutrals, they're gorgeous! I love the look of Powder Puff xx

      The only time I've seen these was in the Carnaby Street Boots which is a bit of a shame but they have a list of their stockists on the Frontcover website :) x

    I love this palette, it looks great, very pigmented. I had a Front Cover palette once, and loved it, some great colours :D

      I'd never seen a whole stand in a Boots before! I really like them, they're quite high quality I think but were nice and cheap! x
