Jouer Skinny Dip Ultra Foil Shimmer Shadows Palette Review

The sun has finally got his hat on in the UK - it's freakin' roasting outside. Definitely time for a fun summer palette. I'm completely sorted for the summer lip-wise with Dior's beautiful Lip Tattoo, but I was in need in the market for some summer sparkle.

Enter Jouer's Skinny Dip palette. I've had a bit of a mixed bag with Jouer in the past - the lip topper formula is beautiful, but I'm not a Lip Creme fan on the whole. This, however, was just too tempting. Warm, super-sparkly, and Temptalia loves it? Sold!

First off, the obvious stuff. It's a relatively sturdy cardboard palette, but it's not going to withstand major travelling tumbles, so play nice with this one. The pan sizes are pretty large, so really easy to get a brush in to - particularly a flat packing brush, which is probably the most ideal brush for shadows of this ilk. If you're familiar with Makeup Geek Foiled Shadows, the texture and finish is very similar - majorly high-shine, ultra-pigmented, and very creamy.

I find the shadows to be (on the whole) very easy to apply and blend. With a damp brush, the super-foiled effect is amped up a notch further - but application with a finger is more than enough for a beautiful, easy, high-shine finish. They generally blend very well, and make a gorgeous accent to a smoky eye, or just blended out across the lid. I get about 8 hours' wear with these, prolonged by using a good glitter adhesive type base.

The swatches below are one-swipe swatches. Hello there. Aren't they beautiful?! My only gripe shade in this palette is Bikini - it applied much better than it swatched, but even then I found it to be relatively chunky, with some fallout over time, and firmly pressed in the pan.

Ok, so you're going to need some decent matte shadows to pair with this lad, but for a cohesive, super-shimmery palette, look no further.
