Today I'm going to review an baked eyeshadow palette that I got from ELF. The palette I got is called California. Elf has three other palettes in this series: NYC, Texas, and Seattle. California is a cool brown palette, NYC is warm blue palette, Texas is a warm brown palette, and Seattle is a cool blue palette.
My previous experience with ELF eyeshadows has been mixed. I didn't like their other palette, but I like their single eyeshadows. This palette is a prime example of this dilemma. I really love some colors because they are really pigmented and gorgeous. Other colors are pretty but not as pigmented. The other colors are bland and not pigmented at all.
I would say the best way to apply is with brushes because the pigmentation isn't as strong with brushes. It is fine to blend with brushes, but not the first application.
The palette cost $10 which is cheap as eyeshadows go, but expensive for ELF. I think there are much better products from their line that are way cheaper! Their cream and liquid liners are great and so are their blushes. And those are about $1-$3. Because I didn't LOVE the palette, I think $10 isn't worth it for ELF. Maybe $5-$7 would have been fine.
Here are some pictures:

As you can tell from the pictures, the shadows aren't super pigmented. They have a better color payoff on my eyelids however. And they have a lot of shimmer so in the light it works better.
Anyways, just because I don't LOVE this palette, doesn't mean you wont feel differently. Go try it out and let me know what you think! Did you love it? Did you hate it? Leave a comment below!
