Vivo Eyeshadow Unprotected Palette Review + Swatches

As a budget friendly beauty lover I'm always on the look out for products that are great in quality that won't make my bank balance wince and featuring in this post i think i may have found something very budget friendly!

If you already saw my Vivo Cosmetics Haul then you will have seen/heard about the 50% offer they had across the whole website once i took advantage and the Vivo Unprotected 12 Eyeshadow Palette is something i picked up along with many other goodies (reviews coming soon!)

The Unprotected Palette contains a mix of 12 shades ranging from matte to shimmery which come housed in a reasonable plastic casing which also includes a sponge applicator too.

If you've been living under a rock for the past year or so then you'll know this palette as well as the MUA ones are dead ringers for the Urban Decay Naked Palettes. 

I can't give you any comparison between them as i don't own them but i do love the Vivo Unprotected Shadows.

 

 First Swatch

 Second Swatch 

As you can see from the swatches i would say most are fantastically pigmented shades of colour but some of the matte shadows defiantly need a bit work before they come to life but they're super soft in texture certainly not chalky and work 10x more better with an eye primer (i use the ELF one) which I'm sure from the images you can see this for yourself. 

I also like how each colour is given a name little touches like that make the biggest difference.

 

With Primer

  

I did create an eye look using this palette but the picture quality isn't so great but regardless the shades i used are:

Wisp (matte light brown) Today (shimmery milk chocolate) Flutter (matte caramel shade) Devine (shimmering dark brown) can't tell i have a sweet tooth can you ha!

Vivo Unproteced 12 Shade Eyeshadow Palette 8.4g for £3.99

 Exclusively available at Tesco or online at vivocosmetics.co.uk
