I was very excited when I saw the preview of this new Catrice limited collection and when I got both of the palettes in the mail. I'm talking about the Catrice x Disney Minnie and Daisy LE that should be available at stores from March to May 2020.
The palettes are called C01 Minnie's Signature in C02 Daisy's Signature. Both palettes come in a slim magnetic cardboard packaging. You also get a small mirror. I like the little details like the bow on the mirror and the gold foil on the package. Minnie's Signature palette is pink with Minnie on it and Daisy's Signature is purple with Daisy on it. I won't talk about each of the palettes separately, I will quickly review them together because they are basically the same.
Both of the palettes have 9 eyeshadows. Minnie's Signature has warmer browns and reds, Daisy's Signature has more cooler browns and purple tones. The shadows come with names and you can see them under the shadow in gold foil.
I'm not impressed with the quality. I had such a bad time when I tried to swatch these. The matte ones are poorly pigmented and they can apply a bit patchy. If that happens and I try to blend it well, the shadow just blends into nothing. With the shimmery shadows, there are a few exceptions but most of them are also poorer quality, I can't pick them up with a brush, I need to use my fingers. Also, spraying the brush with fixing spray doesn't help at all. Both, matte and shimmery shades also don't blend well. Once I manage to apply them how I want, they actually do stay and they don't crease much but they do fade a bit during the day.
If I mention the shades that are actually useful. In the Daisy palette, the matte shades Lazy and Cheery are the best but still not well pigmented. In the Minnie palette, there are a few better shades, like Iconic, Legendary, Hearty and Cheerful. These are the shades that have the best colour pay-off but they are still poorly pigmented, you can't do a swatch in one, not even two swipes. The red shimmery shade Loving is actually good pigmented but it's very soft and chunky.
I expected a lot more from this collection. The palettes are super cute and adorable, the packaging is nice but the quality is bad. Catrice makes some amazing eyeshadows, I reviewed a lot on my blog, so I don't know what they were doing with these two.
Thank you for reading!
