Prestige Let Loose

I'm sure a lot of you are the same - whenever I am in a pharmacy/chemist I look at the make up and if there is something that looks good that is under £5 I convince myself that it's a bargain and I buy it. Some of it is good, some of it is bad and some of it I never really use properly until I've had it for years. I'd say I have had this loose eye shadow, Let Loose, for well over a year and I've used it a bit but not really. It's in Jump, a sort of pale gold colour which always attracts me but I never actually use that much.

Well that all changed this morning. I was being cross because I don't have enough money to buy the Mac pigment I want from eBay (they don't make it anymore) and was looking through to see what was the closest thing I had to it and thought I'd give Let Loose a go. Now I was paying attention to it I was really impressed - it is easy to apply, stays on well and buffs into a beautiful, blendable colour that adds a bit of shimmer to your lid without being over the top. I'm sure you could build these colours up and blend them together well and now I really want to try out other colours - there's a lovely bright green (Show Off) and a dark one (Flip) that would do a good sort of green smoky eye, and Noir which I'm sure would be great for people who struggle with grey/black smoky eyes (a lot of the time you can end up looking like you've been punched in the face!).

These loose eye shadows are £4.99 and available from Boots and I think really worth a try. The colours are fun and the applicator means that even if you usually have trouble with shadows you should be able to get this one right - apply it to your lid and then buff with a clean eye shadow brush until you've got it how you want! I like it so much I'm tempted to do a video tutorial of my make-up today but I'm not sure we're ready for that quite yet! xx
