EdenFantasys: Bella II Fiore Bella in Bloom Eye Shadow Palette Review

EdenFantasys has a decent selection of makeup products…a few eyeshadow/lip/face palettes, bronzers, lip gloss and body shimmer. I received this Bella II Fiore eye shadow palette in Annabelle to review!
To be honest I wasn’t expecting much from this palette, basically you get what you pay for. I use a mix of high end and drugstore eye shadows, so I would definitely consider this lower quality (what I expected from the price). The packaging is really simple, just cardboard and feels very cheap. It stays closed with a magnet. I’ve never heard of this brand, Bella II Fiore and I honestly don’t even think this is worth $13.99. It is also available in Peony (pinks) & Lola (neutrals).
As you can see from the swatches, these eye shadows are NOT pigmented. This is main reason I am disappointed in this palette. The eye shadows feel soft, but they are a little chalky and you don’t get much color pay off in one swipe. Since you don’t get much color pay off, you have to really pack on the color...luckily they blend pretty easily. Wear time is good is if you use an eye shadow primer underneath, but if you don’t the colors fade and crease really fast. It also comes with a sponge applicator which I am not a fan of.

I would NOT recommend this eye shadow palette. The colors are just not pigmented enough and not worth $13.99 in my opinion. There are definitely better quality eye shadows out there for less money. What do you think of these colors? Thanks for reading, I’ve got two more reviews from EdenFantasys to go!
