review: minnie mouse eyeshadow palette (taste beauty)

My love of all things Disney is no secret. I adore the movies, the music, the characters, the theme parks, and even Disney themed beauty products. As for the latter? The Minnie Mouse Eyeshadow Palette from Taste Beauty has been a bit of an obsession lately. Despite one of the other Taste Beauty eyeshadow palettes being a dud (check out that review here) this particular palette wowed. Here is everything you need to know about this affordable and adorable makeup product.

To be honest, it is difficult to believe Taste Beauty made the Care Bears palette and this Minnie Mouse themed palette. Not in terms of the packaging, since it is just as cute and well themed, but because of the eyeshadow quality. While the Care Bears eyeshadow palette lacked pigmentation and was a struggle to work with...this Minnie Mouse palette is richly pigmented and an absolute delight to use. The colours are gorgeous, vibrant, and blend well. Also, the black eyeshadow in this palette, Bold Style, is a serious standout. Even when I use other eyeshadow palettes to create a makeup look, I find myself reaching for Bold Style when I want to add in a little black. (Which is often, to be quite frank.) It adds just the right amount of contrast. 

It is clear that there is a lot to love about this affordable eyeshadow palette. Though it was just $9.99 CDN, it performs wonderfully. Plus, there is an adorable Minnie Mouse theme throughout, with pictures of the iconic character and polka dots. Even the eyeshadow names are themed. As for the colour story here, these kinds of eyeshadows are my weakness. I love warm shimmery shades a little too much. There is lots of warm gold, burgundy, peach, and brown to choose from. Some of the standout eyeshadows are: Be You, Amazing, Live Your Dream, Bows & Kisses, and Bold Style. However, all perform really well. 

To create the look above, the matte shade, Pop of Attitude, was applied through the crease. Then Live Your Dream was applied all over the eyelid with just a bit of Little Miss Bow-It-All added to the center. A small amount of Bold Style was added in the outer corner to make this look a little smokey. Then Own Your Style was added to the inner corner. I just love how bold and dramatic these eyeshadows are. Perfect for someone like me, who loves Disney and loves a warm smokey eye makeup look. 

Have you tried anything from this brand? Would you use a themed eyeshadow palette?
