"Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in the mirror."~ Khalil Gibran
So a couple of days ago I took a late night trip to my local Wal*Mart in search for something interesting and new. Like usual I made my way to the makeup section thinking maybe a new nail polish is what I needed. To my surprise I ended up leaving the store with a Wet 'n' Wild purchase. I picked up the Coloricon Eyeshadow collection in Petal Pusher. I have heard many great things about these palettes that I decided it was time for me to see what all the rave was about.
Comfort Zone is a palette with 8 Earth tone colors. This palette lives up to its name because all of these colors remind me of nice simple looks and staying within your comfort zone of either look or colors. It is perfect for a lunch date, work, or a just because moment. The eyeshadows are split into 2 categories with browbone, eyelid, crease, and definer stamped in them, which is clever. The two categories are split for daytime and nighttime looks. I may be wrong but that is how I interpret it. Now just because they are split into two different categories or have labels on them does not mean you cant mix and match colors and create your own unique look.
The shadows themselves are very pigmented and have amazing color payoff. A few of the colors in this palette are super soft, so if you are a beginner you may want to go very very lightly on this. A plus on some colors being soft is that it teaches you to build up the color versus putting way too much on at once. Like I mentioned before the color pay off of this palette is amazing and the fact that it will look good on any skin tone or with any eye color is a plus as well. My only minor complaint is that all the colors are shimmer and there are no matte tones. Which at the same time is okay because you can tone down all the shimmer with some matte blushes.

The picture above shows the first set of colors. The first color (left to right) is a nice beige color. It is very light so it works great as a browbone color or a color to place on the inner corner of the eye. Next you have a coppery peach tone. This is a very soft shade so you will want to build this one up a little at a time. The third color is a a light brown tone followed by a dark brown shade with red glitters in it. Gorgeous colors!
Now onto the second set of colors. The first color is a nice shimmery taupe color. Following the shimmer taupe color is a very nice foresty green. I want to say that this green is one of my favorites from this palette. Next you have a black shadow with a lot of gold glitters. The last color is a very nice brown with red undertones. Its one of those colors that I find difficult to describe but none the less its gorgeous.
For the swatches I only had to build up one color with is the beige tone from the first set. Other than that all the other colors were so pigmented only a swipe of my finger was needed to get the swatches. Now onto the packaging itself. The packaging is plastic, which is durable and not flimsy at all. Included with the eight shadows you get a double ended applicator. One end has a sponge tip and the other a brush. I feel this to be very worthless because I cant find any use for it to be honest.
This specific palette to me is a great go to palette. I have nothing but good things to say about this palette and for the price its a steal!!!
