LAURA GELLER NEW YORK The Delectables Earthy Essentials Baked Eyeshadow Palette | 14 Pigmented Eyeshadows Blendable Natural Look

I love Laura Geller products in general, and this is no exception. You get 14 different shades of matte brown in a carboard wallet, with a mirror, inside a cardboard box. The colours range from a soft ivory through to a deep, dark brown, and just about every shade in between; if it’s not there, you can mix it. Initially, I thought each eye shadow was quite small, as the diameter is around the size of a penny, but they’re domed, and as they’re so richly pigmented a little really does go a long way.The eye shadows are very easy to apply, blend perfectly, and are forgiving if you’re not so skilled at applying make up. You can create a subtle every day look, right through to the striking and dramatic smoky eye, and it stays in place. On me, I found that it didn’t cake or crease into my lines, which can be an issue with other brands. In addition, you can extend the usage by adding a touch of highlighter over the top to make it sparkle. I do think these are incredible value for money and would gladly buy again.

Well... first of all the product arrived broken, which I know happens but is still a downer. The palette is also in a pretty cardboard housing, not a sturdy click-closed plastic. So it's not going to be portable and will need to use more caution to avoid getting it wet from splashback of the sink etc.So minus1 star from the get-go.I have seen so many ads and reviews that rave about LG makeup! I treated myself over the holidays to two eyeshadow palettes, this pink prosecco one and one called floral. I was really looking forward to products that are supposedly made for aging women's skin.I am so disappointed! First, almost every pan is a metallic frosted, which tends to exaggerate wrinkles and saggy eyelids! I have a lot of makeup that I tried and didn't like very much or felt a little cheated by the cost vs the results, but this has to hands-down the worst ever. It feels heavy on the skin, it didn't blend well, and most of the light to medium shades didn't show well on my "light" skin (neutral undertones,blueish-gray eyes).The darker colors are too saturated and just look like red bruises, there was no neutral brown to use as a liner. That darkest red pan is useless to me, luckily that was the broken one huh. I was forced to use the midtone pink shades as the crease-shadow and lining colors with the lighter ones for overall lid coverage and highlighter shades to tone it down. In the end I felt like the eyeshadow was caked on and much too metallic for day wear, even with a dusting of mineral veil over it. Ok, that's the skin feeling. How did it look? I checked in several light settings. I saw too much makeup, and it was not very flattering. It reminded me of the makeup ladies wore in the 1970s. I will continue to experiment on how to apply it without overload on the brush (I barely tapped my brush on the color, and I tapped the loaded brush on a clean ceramic plate to evenly distribute the color on the brush and not overload the bristles). It was still too much. Worse, the product does not blend or easily spread across the lid, it clung to the first point of contact, and blending it out was a major chore. And yes, I had done all my prep work ahead of application, with a quality eyelid primer. I tried using a clean kabuki brush to blend out or lift some of the color, but wasn't very successful, and had to apply lighter colors over the darker to neutralize. I ended up having to apply mineral veil over it to make it look less garish. It looked and felt like stage makeup, something overly dramatic for my preferences. Why so many metallic shimmer shades? Mature skin does not look great with that.I will very likely return to my tried and true formula of applying a drugstore creme makeup (Revlon!) as a base, and dusting clinique or bare minerals shadows for more dramatic effects.I found nothing in the Laura Gellar products that felt or looked as-good or better than what I've been using, so I'm really puzzled about all the hype for this makeup line. What's the deal? Are all the reviews and the testimonials really honest? I was so looking forward to trying this and feel I wasted a hundred dollars! Once again fooled by marketing! I watched Laura Gellar herself apply the makeup in her videos, and her commentary simply does not match the actual experience. It's not easy to apply, it doesn't feel silky or smooth, and it is not easy to blend. Moreover, this set appears more suitable for a darker skinned person than myself, so it's not universally flattering. Most palette collections are flattering to all skin tones. This pink prosecco is definitely not.

Great Laura Geller eyeshadow palette. Highly recommended. Good range of colours and they last a very long time. Got this at a great price as well!

I used to apply Laura Geller daily. I purchased this collection due to the reasonable price and I wasn't disappointed! Beautiful metallic shades, many nudes and suble pinks that are ideal for daytime wear.

I absolutely love this eyeshadow. It feels so good on your eyes and makes you feel younger. It doesn't sit heavy instead it feels silky smooth. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Especially women of age.I absolutely love Laura Geller's products. I will never go back to the products that I have previously used in the past. The pallet has so many colors to choose from and it doesn't go on dark. You choose how dark you want it to be.It didn't come broken. It was well packaged. Delivery was excellent and the price was within my budget. I plan on getting another one with different color options.You won't regret buying her makeup. Finally someone got it right. It doesn't settle into your wrinkles that make you feel older than you are. I quit wearing makeup for that very reason.Now it feels nice to put on makeup again and feel good about.You won't be disappointed!

Frosted and smooth texture. It lasts on my skin from morning till night. Great value for money. Good for mature skin too.

Love the container/box it came in. There were 4 shadows that the top was completely broken off as if someone cut it across with a knife.Beautiful colors, multiple choice, smooth, easy to apply, easy to remove.Overall great product.

A product well worth the money! Beautiful colours and great variety. Stays in place all day. Will definitely buy again

I’ve come to love Laura Geller! Great colors and quality products. For being over 50 I find these provide just enough to enhance my face without being over the top.

I feel like I won the lottery. Arrived in perfect condition with no color broken. Each color is so pretty it's hard to choose which ones to use. They're all very wearable. Smooth, soft consistency too. I think my favorite is Glamour, a near maroonish brown without the red I've seen in others. I'll use Luxury with a wet liner brush. I'm glad I took the chance after seeing reviews of broken colors. Now I'll be checking out other products from this brand.

Great color palette for winter. Shimmery but classic.

I love how the eye shadow looks, applied easily and lasted all night. However, when I received, there were two colors that broke and spilled out on other colors. I did not return because I was able to scoop most of the broken colors back in their slots.

Recvd . Damaged .. one shadow broken .. elegance color
