violet voss: sweet violet eyeshadow palette (review + video)

When it comes to springtime makeup looks...Violet Voss is an absolute must. This brand has released many colourful eyeshadows shades over the years and each one manages to excel in the pigmentation department. Case in point? The Violet Sunset palette that was reviewed here on the creation of beauty is art. Now, it is time for another Violet Voss review. If you've been curious about the Sweet Violet eyeshadow palette, then keep reading for all the details.

This "fun sized" eyeshadow palette is fairly petite in size, but certainly does not lack in colour. Sweet Violet is comprised of different shades of purple (some lighter, some with more pink, some deeper, and some with a shimmer or metallic finish) with a few more neutral pops. There is a creamy shade for blending and a rose gold glitter for a little extra sparkle. As someone who loves purple on the eyes...all of the options are thrilling. I love that there is a really nice variety of finishes and shades to choose from. Some standouts include the third shade on the top row and the first shade on the bottom row. Unfortunately, there are no shade names in this palette. Such a letdown! I always appreciate when the shadows are named. Not only does it make it easier to refer to the various shades, but it adds to the theme, and overall experience. 

As for the pigmentation level? These are impressive overall. The matte shades are especially bold and colourful. I absolutely love them. The shimmer shades are gorgeous as well. As for the glitters? These can be a little on the flaky side and need to be applied with care. That being said, the glitters look really lovely layered over top of the matte shadows. Recently, the Sweet Violet eyeshadow palette was used as part of a get ready with me video over on my YouTube channel. I did my best to make good use of those bold purple shades! Take a look at the end result and the video below...
