Bellini Kiss is the second of the Love in Florence eyeshadow palettes that I picked up recently. Like Gelato for Two, it has some nice and not so nice performing shadows. The shadows are not named individually, so I will show them going clockwise starting with the gold shadow. All arm swatches are on bare skin, no primer.
The first shadow is a gold micro glitter that was dry, crumbly, and did not seem to bind together. Consequently, particles would fly all over the place when I tried applying, and it was hard to build up color. The second is a pale peach shimmer that performed fairly well and made for a nice lid color to build upon.
The third color is a copper shimmer that was very smooth and pigmented. Nice. Next was a dark brown with copper micro glitter. It wasn't very pigmented and applied rather patchy, but did okay as a liner. I tend to use shadow over my pencil liners to soften the edges, and this shadow worked fine in that capacity. Last is a another copper color that swatches darker and more orange than it looks in the palette. It kicked up a fair amount of powder but still applied well.
It seems like each of the palettes I've tried had 3 pretty good shadows and t
wo that weren't, which when you consider their price of about $8, is not that bad. I think if I was to purchase any NYX shadows in the future, I'd have to just accept that it was a gamble and that some will work well, and some won't.
