Review: Catrice - Graphic Grace LE

Hello! Haven't talked about an eyeshadow palette in ages! So finally here is a review of one I received in December, you can check my NEW IN December here. :) Anyway, if you read my blog you will notice I am very fond of eyeshadows, own a lot of eyeshadow palettes  and have tried many different brands so far! I also already tested some of the Catrice mono eyeshadows and palettes before, but today I present one from the latest limited edition Graphic Grace in shade  C01 Linear Lines! The collection is very vibrant and full of warm shades, perfect to scare away any winter moodiness!

Packaging, price - Classic Catrice eyeshadow palette, even though limited edition. Plastic transparant packaging, the usual black label at the back, and interesting design on the top of the packaging. It's a typical quattro of shades, meaning four shades in their classic desing, two bigger - two smaller shades. Smaller eyeshadows contain 1,5 grams and bigger 2,5 grams.  The price is 4,69 euros.

Shades - There are four light shades in the palette, one very bright vibrant pink and three more gentle, subtle shades in nude and brown-ish tones. Shades may seem matte at first, but as you will see on the swatches not all of them are! Two shade contains some very fine shimmer. The pink shade looks very strong and a bit overpowering in contrast with other shades, though it looks kinda perfect for spring. It's not as dark as it may seem from the palette or swatch, on my eyes it looks more gentle. Still it's the shade I use the least as I am really not a fan of pink shades. The other three are great and I use them for every day looks.

Pigmentation, application, texture - I find these very well pigmented and also very well visible when worn, especially for such light shades. The application is easy, they are blendable and it's easy to achieve a bit more built up look if you like. However the do dust a bit, so I recommend you are careful with the pink and darkest shade. :P The texture of these is very smooth and buttery, I love they feel kinda satin under my fingers. I applied them with my fingers or with my brush, but I was surprised to see I achieved a better look with using my fingers first and than blending with my brush.

Longivety - I have quite greasy eyelids and I need a good primer. I used mostly Catrice one and Avon one, both worked very well. The shades didn't crease on me. They do not last as well as I would hope to, I have noticed that after a couple of hours they tend to fade a bit, especially the pink didn't look that strong anymore.

All in all, it's a nice palette, but maybe more suitable for those of you who are not like me - hoarding 20+ eyeshadow palettes at home already... The shades are suitable for every day use, though the pink shade may not be to everyone's liking. Still, maybe it's time you get out of the makeup rut and try a pop of colour from time to time!

Hope this review was helpful to you!
