SMASHBOX - Full Exposure Palette - Check out the shades!

I have a new blog over at Wordpress called COLOUR OF MY KISS - while I won't be getting rid of UNAPOLOGETIC I am hoping that they will run alongside one another.  So if you want more shots of the palette and hear about how its made up, whats in it and what I think please head over here:

This link will take you straight to the page with the blogpost on this palette xx

This blog will focus on each of the shades individually - while the top row - which is glittery and shimmery is not as pigmented, it does apply better with a brush, and better still with a damp brush - i use MUA pro setting spray, this helps the shade perform better, adhere better and just last a lot longer on the eye.

So here we go.... first this is what the palette looks like

Now lets break it down - lets start with the top row - the SHIMMERS/GLITTERS

This is a very richly pigmented milk chocolate glitter colour, one of the best pigmented shades from the top row.

This one almost has a caramel shade to it, decent pigmentation and colour payoff - very pretty.

This is my least favourite colour, its a yellow gold colour - and i am not a fan of yellow golds.  This has a nice colour payoff but isnt too strong.

This one is a shimmer, and the only shade without glitter in it - it looks ivory but has a champagne shimmer about it, its very pretty and will look great on the brow bone and/or inner eye.

This is a cool toned gold, much more my thing, the glitters in it are more of a true gold and this shade is not very pigmented at all, the glitter bits are more visible than the colour but with water i think this one will perform better.

This is another cool toned colour, a silvery grey with silver shimmers - poor in pigmentation colour wise, but with water may perform better.

This is a dark charcoal grey with glitter, it has lovely pigmentation and will perform amazingly wet because it already has great pigmentation and I can see me using this a lot.

So now, lets move on to the bottom row, the MATTES

This is a gorgeous matte warm toned milk chocolate colour - nicely pigmented and will look great in the crease with its partner above it on the lid.

Here is the caramel glitters partner in crime, a perfect caramel colour that I will use a lot for crease work, very pretty, warm toned and I would normally go cool toned in the crease, but this is gorgeous.

This almost has a peach tone to it, its a lovely almondy sort of colour - pretty and nicely pigmented, something I haven't already got in my collection so I love this one.

This is a lovely ivory matte shade, less champagne than its glittery counter-part and great for an all over lid colour, blender for us pale girls or a matte highlight for the brow.  Super pigmented and soft.

First of the cool tones, this is nicely pigmented but not a strong colour - its nice that as we reach the cool tones they didnt feel the need to make them super dark to make a colour graduation - this is a nice light colour that will look amazing in the crease and I will use it a lot even if I use it alongside other palettes.

A lovely rich dark milk chocolate, buttery and pigmented and I cannot wait to wear this.  I could see this flipping well and being a lid colour with the glitter as the crease colour.

For all this picture makes the colour look quite grey, this is actually a very pigmented black - it is a matte but glitter from the top can fall in to it and show up when you swatch it.  I love this and can't wait to use it.
