Once I heard that the Pixiwoo sisters Sam and Nic were bringing out two make-up kits, Modern Naturals and Night Owl, I couldn't resist getting my hands on one of the limited edition sets.
I went for the Modern Naturals set as I thought it contained the colours that I would wear the most and I wanted to get my money's worth.
The set contains four eye-shadows, a brown eye-liner, blusher, highlighter and two lip glosses. I also received a free eye-liner brush with the set which was a nice surprise!
The set costs $25.00 (approx £15.00) exclusively from www.realtechniques.com.
I've used it a couple of times now and I'm really impressed with the quality. Especially that of the four eye-shadows.
The kit contains a lovely shimmery champagne colour which is perfect for a brow and/or inner corner highlight, a bronze gold shade which is amazing, a matte brown shade which is perfect for the crease and a shimmery taupe shade which is lovely over the lid or under the waterline.
The colours are brilliantly pigmented and they blend amazingly for such a cheap and cheerful palette.
They eyeliner is equally as pigmented and is perfect for creating a blurred eye line on a bronzey brown smokey eye.
The blush in this palette is a light pink shade and if I'm honest I was slightly disappointed with the pigmentation. I don't know whether it's my skin tone mixed in with the amount of freckles of my cheeks but the blush hardly shows up. I think it would suit pale girls better.
The highlighter on the other hand is a lovely champagne colour. It's nice and creamy so it just slides on your cheekbones like a dream and is really easy to apply.
Onto the lips we have a light pink shade and a bronze shade. The smell of these is slightly strange, I can't quite put my finger on what they smell like but they definitely have a smell. The glosses themselves again aren't that pigmented but would look lovely for a natural glossy look or on top of your favourite lipstick.
Overall I'm pretty pleased with the products contained within the kit especially the quality of the eyeshadows. It's a great little kit which would be perfect for any girls traveling needs. And what's best is that the case has magnetic closing.
Verdict: 8 / 10
Muchos love,
