Not the most exciting packaging in the world, but neither is Shu Uemura is it?
Surprisingly unlike I, and probably you, would have immediately expected, these eyeshadows aren't a load of rubbish they (well the ones I will detail below) are actually pretty damn good! I personally wasn't into the colours Gold Shimmer, Snow White and Meadow, as I felt they weren't as pigmented as the rest with much less colour payoff, so I would avoid those to be honest.
I am assuming that Mac, the world over, is probably the standard which most people guage their shadows (so shoot me if I am wrong) so I swatched them all next to similarly coloured Mac shadows so you could see their pigmentation.
Excuse me using an arm with hair, yikes!
I was running out of arms!
Because I am always predictable if nothing else, my favourite is Espresso, it's perfect for me as I have blue eyes as it's an orangey toned brown.
Are you surprised at the pigmentation?
I know I am!

That's very interesting, Tesco has its own makeup brand! Overall, do you like the products?xx
Honestly I am surprised. I certainly wouldn't expect much from Tesco stuff but might have to try these when I head to UK in April. Just to see the pigmentation with my own eyes :D
great review
i saw these the other week, but didnt pick any up as to be honest i thought they would be rubbish!
So surprised at the pigmentation! I love Blue lagoon, def going to add some of these to my basket next time im in tesco! :)
I'll be predictable as well, I love the Blue Lagoon. Haven't seen this in Tesco before...Is it just certain stores?
omg.. thanks for the swatches... i was at Tesco one day doing weekly shopping and saw that 3 for £3, my bf was like, 'you sure you can use that?! maybe it's rubbish..blah blah blah..' and i was like 'er ...probably..@.@' but then he just said it will be a waste of £3, he rather get a pint of beer, sigh~@.@///
the blue lagoon is really beautiful!
I always thought that these wouldn't be any good - will give them a try!
Thanks Sarah!
Claire xx
am running to my tescos now :D thanks for the review and the swatches gurlie!
@Jo deffo worth a look, the darker colours seem to be better made than the lighter colours, so I would stick with them xx
@Princess Livia, I will be doing a couple more posts on their other products too xx
Question; is there anywhere online where i can check out all the colours and their names? I can't find them anywhere on the tesco website..
