NELF Cosmetics HD Pro Custom Eyeshadow Palettes- First Impressions, Review, Swatches
 |
| NELF Cosmetics HD Pro Custom Eyeshadow Palette |
I am a fan of anything customized. More often than not, I skip many “best selling” makeup palettes because one or two shades the given combination does not catch my fancy. Recently I came across a brand called NELF USA on Instagram and was quite intrigued by their products. Nykaa has also been stocking on any NELF products lately and it piqued my interest. The NELF team kindly sent me a new launch from their range to review and it is a custom eyeshadow/blush palette! Read on to find more about the brand and this product.

Packaging: The palettes come
inside a basic black shiny carton. Once opened, you can see a matte black
palette with click lock (not magnetic). The shadows are single pans which can
be removed from the palette which a slight push at the back of each pan. As you
can see from the pictures, two shadows in one palette got smashed during
transit L The shadows have
shade numbers printed on the backside sticker and I am not sure why names are
not there- because the ones listed on Nykaa clearly have names enlisted.

My take: After the initial
disappointment of having a smashed palette and having to clear up the huge
powder-load of pigments, I found that the palette with my favorite shades was
intact :P Below are the close ups of the palettes followed by the pictures of
their back.

One point of concern for these eyeshadows
which I found was, they seemed too finely milled and are easily nicked with the
slightest flick. I am doubtful about their travel-friendliness that’s why.
Since the price of the single shades are not exactly ‘budget’ (Rs.425 each), I
would expect a better pressed formulation to make them travel friendly.
Also, for the 6-pan palette, I would personally
prefer to add three-four eye shadow shades and the rest would be blush shades
so that the palette becomes multi-purpose.
Overall, I found the palettes decent but not
amazing considering the yet-to-be-done improvements. Recommendation would be to
try the single shades once before getting the whole palette.
I shall be creating looks with these palettes
and posting on Instagram. Follow me there to be updated J (Click HERE)
