Sigma Paris Palette (Limited Edition)

Hello there, weekend! Sorry, been MIA for the past few days! How is everyone doing? It's been raining for the past days so hopefully everyone is trying to keep dry and enjoying the little sunlight we are having right now! Oh how I miss summer...

Anyway, I would like to write a review on a make-up palette that I had for more than a year now. I've been using this quite often and every time I use this palette, people compliments my make-up look...feeling much! This make-up palette is the Paris Palette from Sigma!

isn't pretty?
Being a fan of several beauty gurus in YouTube, I decided to get this palette for myself. I think this is the very first palette that I've purchased overseas. I was worried about not being able to get this since they say it is Limited Edition. So I was so excited when I finally click on the confirm payment option.

Description:
The Sigma Beauty Limited Edition Paris Makeup Palette includes eight eye shadow colors inspired by landmark monuments and locations in Paris. It also includes two blush colors and one highlight shade, carefully developed to complement all skin tones. The palette comes with two essential brushes for a flawless makeup application.

Brushes Included:
E55 - Eye Shading
F40 - Large Angled Contour




Good thing Sigma ships worldwide ($17). This palette retails for $59 which I bought directly from Sigma's website and used promo code xteeener to avail of the $10 off. 

Here are my swatches:

These eyeshadows are very pigmented as you can see in the swatches and very little fallouts. My personal favorites are Orsay, Notre Dame and Triomphe. I most of the time combine these three to create a green smokey eye effect...which I really love! Thanks to Jen of from Frmheadtotoe! :)

Though I love all the eyeshadows in this palette, the least that I like are Seine and Versailles due to the fallouts. :( I also find Versailles too glittery for the liking.

As for the blushes, they are very wearable and suit most skin types. For fair skin type, rouge may be too dark so you have to have a light hand in using it. Colors are buildable and easy to blend as well. Combine the two blushes together to get natural color on your cheeks and don't forget to add the highlighter for natural glow.

My verdict: It's worth it! 8 very pigmented eyeshadows with 2 blushes and 1 highlighter and don't forget 2 brushes :) Colors are wearable for day time or night time.

Price: $59 + shipping
Where to purchase: Sigma website or other online stores
