I mentioned earlier in the week that I recently made a few purchases from 17 cosmetics. One of those purchases was the Lasting Fix Nail Polish and the other two were these lovely eye palettes!

They're the perfect spring palettes and I absolutely love all of the different shades. Hazy Days is a Brown/Green/Copper kind of blend while Spring Brights is a cute mix of shimmering Pinks and Purples.

While the shades in Hazy Days look quite dark, they're actually much more bright and copper looking than I was expecting. They all look brilliant blended together and I really love the shades for every day wear.

To be honest, you could blend every single shade from both palettes and it'd look great. I can't tell you how great the colours are. They're quite pigmented but there is a lot of fall out on application so I'd recommend holding a tissue or cotton pad under your eye when applying.

Unfortunately you would have to reapply after a few hours if you want the shade to stay vibrant as the colours tend to fade just a tiny bit.

I think £5.99 might just be a tad too expensive for these palettes. I think you're basically paying for the pretty packaging and the way the colours are set out. I've noticed 17 cosmetics getting just a little more expensive recently, but what really annoyed me most about these palettes was the fact that the boxes were so difficult to open! Stupid I know but I expected to be able to open them easily!

  1. I think these are ridiculously pretty but I wouldn't buy them as I have so many eyeshadow palettes already ): I love the pastel shades in Spring Brights though, great review :)

  2. Wow yeah I agree that the only great thing is the design and packaging. Except that, it's only eyeshadow. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us!

  8. These are so pretty, I love the rose design. It's a shame the product isn't great though, definitely paying for the packaging with these.
