Boots No7 Autumn Collection - Colour Rebellion Eye Palette

I'm not normally one to go nuts over a limited edition collection. Let's face it - by the time I usually get round to reviewing, photographing and writing about a product, the collection is long gone. The Boots No7 Autumn collection has just launched in Boots stores and online and I was lucky enough to get my paws on a few items.

Overall it seems a pretty solid collection. I'm going to do my best to show you it over the rest of this week, but plans don't always work out how you want them!

I'm starting with the eye shadow palette, simply because the pictures are ready and uploaded.


This palette is available at Boots stores and the website for £10.50, which is a bit of a bargain. I remember recent limited edition palettes being a little more expensive. The case is made of plastic and the front has a snakeskin effect. It has a weird snakeskin feeling as well. I think it's a thicker than usual rubber sticker.


I love the imprint on these shadows! It's been done quite deep so it'll last for quite a few applications. It's still there even after I've done my swatches. I've got to admit though, the colours are pretty much what you'd expect for an Autumn collection. Just as well that Autumn/Winter collections are usually my favourites! The plastic on the inside of the case shows every smear and fingerprint! The mirror is of a decent size and without distortion, so it's useful for travel.


I was very surprised when I swatched them! The colours are bright, vivid and decently pigmented. The green and the copper/red were the most pigmented and the blue and purple were less pigmented. The shadows are shimmery and glowy without being metallic. The colours are what I'd call "simple" colours, no hidden shimmers or sparkles. What you see is very much what you get.

I'll be wearing this for tomorrow's FOTD.

This product was provided free for review/tutorial purposes. This has no effect on the review I give.
