Review: Sephora Primal Instincts Eyeshadow Palette


I got this palette from my lovely grandmother for Christmas and have been totally obsessed ever since! (Carrie, if you ever find this, thank you very much!) It is a very unique palette that I thought would be good to show. It has some fabulous colors and is different from a standard neutral eye palette. 

Swatches: (top to bottom) camel, bronze, mahogany, deep burgundy, plum, steel, must have
Second picture: apricot, gold, sand, universal beige, tea rose, taupe, matte brown
My first note is that I did have to swipe each color several times, simply because I am so pale. The pigmentation on these is really great, especially on the darker colors. The only colors I had issues with were sand and mahogany. The oddest one of them all is taupe. It looks very light in the pan but is actually really dark. It was a little bit of a disaster the first time I applied it! Not what I was expecting at all. I really recommend this for anyone who loves a deep smoky eye and is looking for a high quality selection of colors. It has multiple warm and cool tones so there's a lot that can be done with it! Hope this was enjoyed! Xoxo Katie
