SauceBox Creme De La Creme Palette - review and swatches

 

I picked up the SauceBox Creme De La Creme Palette from IMATS last year (see blogpost here). I have seen SauceBox cosmetics featured on many Australian beauty blogs, but had never tried anything from them. It had always been on my to-do list. I am so glad I picked up this palette, however. 

The palette consists of 6 neutral eyeshadows, each a massive 4 gram of product! The pans are huge and if I ever hit pan on any of the shadows, that'll be a massive accomplishment!

All shadows in this palette are shimmery, which I think is the only downfall. The pans in the palette are interchangeable, which means you can change it up and put six different SauceBox shadows in the palette - this would be great for travel. The only downside is the shadows don't have the name on the back (I'll probably add this with a marker at a later date).

Sea Shell is a pink champagne with shimmer, and is a great highlight and allover lid colour. I have even used this eyeshadow as a highlight on my cheekbones.

Inception is a bronzey shimmer and absolutely gorgeous as an allover lid shade.

Future is a silver shimmer.

Rain is another highlight shade, and is more neutral-yellow than Sea Shell. 

Secrecy is a taupe shimmery shade and will definitely be a go-to for the cooler months.

Black Widow is a black with slight shimmer. The shimmer in this shadow does not transfer much to the eye and this black is super pigmented and intense.

Although the palette is all shimmer, there is a combination of cool tone and warm tone shadows, which does add to the versatility of the palette. I would recommend this palette to anyone who is a neutral lover. The shadows are gorgeous and I don't think you need to worry about ever replacing the shadows. The consistency of the shadows is buttery, and they blend beautifully. If this is paired with something like the Naked Basics 1 or 2, endless looks can be created.

Overall, I love this palette and am glad I picked it up. If anyone is contemplating purchasing this palette, I would definitely recommend it.
