Juvia's Place The Magic Mini Eyeshadow Palette - Review and Swatches

Today i am going to review one of the two Juvia's eyeshadow palettes which i grabbed during their sale. Juvia's Place eyeshadows become quite popular from last few years and everybody raved about their quality and shade selection. Their packaging and the African figurines make them quite interesting to hoard. The palette i am reviewing is called The Magic Mini Eyeshadow Palette which is mini version of their Magic palette. I thought it might be a compact small palette but to my surprise this mini version is larger then most of my regular palettes. Now i am curious how large is the original one.
The brand claims that this Magic palette is inspired by the moon and sun goddesses having beautiful fusion of cool and warm tones.
My Thoughts
This palette comes in medium peach cardboard packaging with art work of African figurines of moon and sun goddesses on it. It contains 16 vibrant to everyday shades with good range of warm and cool tones. The pans are quite big despite being mini version and i am sure they will last quite long. The downside was that there is no mirror inside which could have been huge plus. The palette is still large and in my opinion is not very travel friendly.

The shades are quite bold, perfect for any event and i think is quite a good pick for any bride to be, who wants to create different looks matching her daily outfit. The 6 mattes and 10 shimmery/frost shades makes it versatile and useful. On top of that the pigmentation is simply amazing. I was surprised to find that shades work way better with brushes on lids then swatching them on arm with fingers. They blend like dream and a little pick with brush can create quite an intense look. You will not have to hit the pan again and again to show the color on lids.

Lets talk about each shades separately.

Nubia is a bright warm gold shade with metallic shade. It is highly pigmented with buttery smooth formula.
Zakia is warm medium orange with matte finish. It is very pigmented with good texture.

Buzo is a bright green with metallic finish. It is also highly pigmented and have soft texture.
Yejide is a deep blue with matte finish. It also has little dry texture with medium to buildable pigmentation.

Overall this palette is really good for its quality and shade selection. The pigmentation is very intense with good formula except 2 shades which have little dry formula. There is fallout in dark shade so you better dust some powder below your eyes if you have done your face makeup before. Without any primer or base the shades work really good and last very very long. If you are looking for good quality palette with vibrant shades then this is definitely worth picking.
