Review and Swatches: PUR X RawBeautyKristi Double-Sided Pressed Pigment Palette

RawBeautyKristi is one of my favorite YouTuber/ Influencers. So when I saw that she had released her first-ever collaboration with PUR Cosmetics, I knew, I had to support her. With PUR cosmetics, RawBeautyKristi released two different types of eyelashes, along with an eyeshadow palette. Since I don’t wear lashes, I decided to only pick the PUR X RawBeautyKristi Double-Sided Pressed Pigment Palette.

The PUR X RawBeautyKristi Double-Sided Pressed Pigment Palette retails for $34USD. This palette is very compact and travel-friendly. It is also Cruelty-Free, Gluten-Free, and Vegan Friendly.

Out for all 18 shades, only 2 are shimmers and the rests are matte. There is a mirror on both sides of the palette.

THE REVIEW:

The picture above is the back of the packaging box. It shows the ingredients/ pressed pigments that not intended around immediate eye area. 

The PUR X RawBeautyKristi Double-Sided Pressed Pigment Palette is my new favorite travel/ everyday palette. I love the idea of having two different eyeshadow side. You can use the colorful side for more artistic looks, while the neutral side for every day/glam looks. I also like how the palette isn’t bulky. When I first saw the palette online and heard it was double sides, I thought it would be thick and bulky, but I am so glad that it is not. I would say the thickness of the palette is as thick as my other palettes.All the pressed pigments in this palette blend in beautifully together. The formula is very soft and creamy with kickback. In my opinion, this palette opacity is perfect. It is not too pigmented and not to sheer, it is in the middle. I have not experienced any patchiness. All eyeshadows are easy to work with and bend out in seconds. I truly believe the formula of this palette is perfect for beginners and people who do not want to spend a lot of time blending.Overall, this palette is one of the best palettes I have ever purchased. I can see myself using this palette frequently to create every day and colorful eye looks. If you are interested or have thought about getting a palette, I recommend you buy it. It is truly one of the greatest makeup palettes I have ever used.
