Accessorize Eyeshadows

I currently have two accesorize eyeshadows and I love them both. The colour payoff is absolutely amazing and they stay all day long. I really recomend them as they are only £4 for a very full duo. 


The first one I received as a gift and it's Zoria. Zoria is the light golden and blue. I especially love this one and the golden colour is my all time favourite eyeshadow. As I said above, it has great colour payoff and lasts super long.  This shadow will not budge until you remove it. I put this on at around 8:00 in the morning and it will still be perfect when I get home apart from some minor smudging around the crease area. I love it so so much as it is such a subtle colour but really brightens and opens up your eyes making you look more awake. It makes it look like you put so much effort into your makeup when you just put on some eyeshadow! The second colour in Zoria is a blue. When you buy it it is a baked colour which has blue green and purple all merging together but when you swatch it it comes up mostly blue. I don't use this as much because I'm more of a nude eyeshadow girl, but I do love it for a pop of colour under my eye or at the corners especially in the spring/summertime.



My second one is called Freya. I went back to get another one since I love Zoria so much and this one is just as good in staying power and pigmentation, however I prefer the colours in Zoria. The copper colour in Freya is actually more orange toned, which I don't love. `I think when you use the browner parts it comes more copper but still not quite as I expected. I don't hate it but I just don't use it all that much. The light golden colour in Freya is nicer. It's similar to Zoria's light golden colour but more sandy and less bright. It's a very nice, wearable colour for everyday eyes. 


In terms of packaging it is very pretty, much nicer than other packaging some other Accessorize makeup products are in. As you can see my Zoria shadow broke :'( but this was mainly my fault as I took it on the long car journey from where I live to Somerset without really protecting it. So as long as you take care of them, they're fine! They cost £4 each which I think is a complete bargain for a duo that has so much product in and is such good quality. These are available in Monsoon Accessorize and in some Superdrug store's.
