Review: Look Beauty Statement Eyes in Cami

I recently purchased a new eyeshadow from the Superdrug exclusive line Look Beauty.

For those that don't know Look is a UK based weekly fashion and beauty magazine, the only magazine I'm subscribed to and ever really read if I'm being completely honest. I heard about the launch of this line ages ago but it was only initially available at the Superdrug in the new Westfield in Stratford. Most inconvenient for me! Shortly after the line was launched it was rolled out into Superdrug stores across the UK and the majority of my local stores, I have five lol, stock it.

The first colour I picked up was the eyeshadow Cashmere. It has a satin finish, in that it's neither matte or shimmery, and it's a very soft dove grey. It's a great colour for just a wash over the lid or you can use it to blend out darker greys and blacks when creating a smokey eye. Having enjoyed the colour for a month or so I decided I would pick up another one. The colour I chose is Cami.

Housed in tough, thick plastic (very Shu Uemura), Cami is a soft golden peachy pink and when I bought it I thought, hello could you be a dupe of my beloved Stila Kitten or MAC All That Glitters??!!!

On the left we have Stila Kitten, one of my favourite lid colours ever, in the middle is my sparkly new Look Beauty eyeshadow in Cami and to the right we have MAC All That Glitters. They all look kind of the same in the pan, that lovely luminous golden peachy pinky prettiness I love so much but how do they compare side by side.

The first pair of swatches are the Look Beauty shadow and Stila Kitten. Yeah you can't really see Kitten but you can see that the Look Beauty eyeshadow is a lot more golden and peach in comparison. The second pair of shadows is the Look Beauty shadow and MAC All That Glitters. All That Glitters is actually a tiny bit more pink that the Look Beauty shadow so it doesn't look like we have a dupe :( Sad times.

Despite not being the dupe that I'd hoped for this shadow delivers well! It's pigmented and creamy and it adds a been shimmery sheen to the lids without giving you disco ball face in the process. It's a great basic colour and suitable for most skintones.

At £4 a pop these are great to try out and they have an awesome range of colours. I'm currently ogling Suede, a beautiful taupe purple brown, and Velvet, a deep purpley blue which may possibly be a dupe of MAC Contrast...

I have read that the more matte shades are kind of crappy so be sure to utilise those testers before you commit to your purchase!

The Look Beauty line is literally bulging with products so there is plenty to choose from if eyeshadows aren't your thing. One word of warning though. I got the nail polish Catsuit and it's awful. Thick, gloopy, crusty, just plain nasty so I wouldn't recommend that!

Also apologies for the "hairy arm swatches" rather than a photo of me actually wearing the shadow. If you'd like to see it featured in a Face of the Day post please let me know in the comments :)
