Going back a few weeks, I was placing an order on The Body Shop, when these gorgeous 'Shimmer Cubes' just happened to fall into my basket.
Being a neutral eye shadow obsessor, I just had to have them (and I had a discount voucher so thought why not)!
The shade I selected was "06 Warm" which is a beautiful mixture of soft brown, gold and taupe making it the perfect palette for a smokey eye. The eye shadows are very pigmented, especially the two darker shades, and the other two are stunning for using as a base shadow or inner corner highlight.
I think these eye shadows would also look amazing when used with a wet brush but I'm still yet to try this.
I've found these eye shadows to have great staying power when used on top of my Benefit 'Stay Don't Stray' Primer but any should do. Even by the end of a long day at university, my eyes have barely creased!
The only thing I wasn't so enthralled about was the packaging of this product; as much as I love the quad of eye shadows, they all come with a lid of their own making it a little frustrating however, I removed these and will only use them when I take the palette away with me or if I only want to take a couple of the eye shadows with me.

I have a few of these shimmer cubes and I really love them. This one looks so pretty, especially honeycomb... it reminds me of half-baked from Urban Decay!
