AVON Luxe Palettes: Review and Swatches

Obe palete stižu u jako lepo odrađenim kartonskim kutijama na kojima se nalaze svi bitni podaci poput gramaže, sastojaka,...itd. Ljubičaste je boje i ima fino ugraviran LUXE logo čija boja zavisi od same kolekcije, dakle klasična kolekcija je ispisana zlatnim slovima, a rose gold kolekcija istoimenom bojom.

These eyeshadows come in very elegant cardboard boxes that include all important info such as ingredients, weigh,...etc. Purple boxes have engraved LUXE logo on them, the color of logo depends on the collection, so it is either rose gold or classic, pure gold. 

Razlika u pakovanju je više nego očigledna, Glamorous Roses je u zlatnoj, a Luxurious Nudes u boji ružičastog zlata. Spoljašnjost palete je veoma luksuzna, i za razliku od ostalih Avon paletica poprilično je teža, ali ne i previše teška. Ima tu mirrored završnicu, u kojoj se bukvalno možete ogledati. Mana pakovanja je, kao što možete pretpostaviti, lako i brzo prljanje iste, no oprostićemo joj to zbog preleposti.

The difference in packaging is more than obvious. Glamorous Roses is in gold, whereas Luxurious Nudes is in rose gold box. The exterior of these palettes is rather luxurious, and different from all other Avon palettes because it is quite heavy, but not too much of course. It's a bit bulky but nevertheless I love it & also has mirrored finish to it (talking 'bout fancy!). The main and only flaw, you guessed it, the palette gets dirty fast, BUT we shall forgive it because of its gorgeousness!









Ovom paletom dominiraju neutralne boje sa daškom ljubičastih i zagasitih roze tonova. Sve boje su odlično pigmentovane, a završnice im se razlikuju. Opisivaću ih pojedinačno po sledećem redosledu (GORE, DOLE, LEVO, DESNO I CENTAR) počevši od najsvetlijih ka tamnijim.

This palette has mostly neutrals with a dash of purple and muted rosy tones. All shades are nicely pigmented but the finishes differ. I will describe each of the eyeshadows (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER) starting from the lightest then moving towards the darker ones.

CENTAR/CENTER:

-Najsvetlija nijansa je najslabije pigmentovana ali to je bilo očekivano, opisala bih je kao svetlo roze senku sa sitnim česticama glittera.
-The lightest and the least pigmented one, which was expected. Pale pink with some fine glitter peaking through.


DOLE/DOWN:

-Senka koja se nalazi u dnu palete me je jako podsetila na senku iz Urban Decay Naked 3 palete koja se zove Nooner, dakle, prljavo roze/mauve nijansa mat završnice (mogu li da dobijem jedno yaas?)
-This shade is quite reminiscent to Urban Decay Naked 3 palette and the shade Nooner, so it's a dusty pinky/mauve eyeshadow with matte finish (can I get a yaas?)

DESNO/RIGHT:

-Senka u desnom ćošku je neka blaža verzija senke boje šljive i ima primese braon u sebi, takođe, ima mikroskopski glitter koji se vidi samo u paleti dok je priča na očima skroz drugačija, izgleda mat.
-A more gentle version of plum with brownish tone to it. It contains fine, microscopic glitter that you can see in the palette only, it looks very matte on the lids. 

GORE/UP:

-Senka u vrhu palete je hladnija bronzana sa glitter završnicom.
-Cool toned bronze with glitter finish.
LEVO/LEFT:

-Tamnija braon senka sa shimmerom.
-A darker brown with shimmer.






Redosled: od najsvetlije ka najtamnijoj (isti redosled kao i u gore navedenom opisu). Swatchevi su napravljeni BEZ BAZE.

Swatched WITHOUT BASE, same line-up as description above.







Kao i kod prethodne palete, opisaću svaku senku pojedinačno počevši od svetlijih ka tamnijim nijansama.

Same deal as the previous palette, I will describe them one by one starting from the lightest to darkest.
CENTAR/CENTER:

-Veoma blaga bež nijasna koja na mojoj koži ima i trunčicu kajsije, glitter završnica
-Light beige that looks a bit more appricoty on my pale skin, glitter finish.
LEVO/LEFT:

-Boja šampanjca satenske završnice
-Champagne shade with a satin finish.
GORE/UP:

-Predivna hladna, taupe nijansa. Senka na granici između sive i smeđe, trunčicu više ide ka smeđoj. Ima satensku završnicu ali na očima izgleda potpuno mat.
-Beautiful cool, taupe shade. On the egde between gray and brown, slightly more towords brown spectrum. Satin finish but absolutely matte on the lids.
DOLE/DOWN:

-Tamna braon senka sa finishom između glittera i shimmera.
-Dark brown with shimmer/glitter finish.
DESNO/RIGHT:

-Jako tamna siva, gotovo crna nijansa. Ponovo govorimo o satenskoj zavšnici koja deluje mat kada je nanesete na kapke.
-Very dark grey, almost black. So called satin finish but again, looks matte on the eyelids.







Sve prethodne fotografije napravljene su na prirodnom svetlu dok su sledeće dve nastale na veštačkom svetlu uz upotrebu blica da bih vam dočarala završnice senki.

All previous photographs were captured in natural light but I made these next two in artificial light with flash to show you finishes a bit better.

DA LI VAM SE DOPADAJU OVE SENKE? KAKVO JE VAŠE ISKUSTVO?
