City Color Timeless Beauty Gold Palette

I don't know if it's the dream of warm weather, but when I saw this palette I pictured all the bronze goddess summer looks it would create and I just had to get it. I've been interested in City Color as a brand lately, because I've had such great luck with the two products I've tried and because they are really, really affordable. This palette definitely does not disappoint. It retails at $18 which is on the pricier side of the labels products, but it's a good size and you get 12 shadows and 3 huge bronze (blush) shades. After swatching the palette I'm impressed with the quality and pigmentation of the shadows, especially the bronze shades, and the bronze/blush colors are absolutely stunning. I can see myself getting a lot of use out of this palette this summer.








I love the golden green eyeshadow, it's such a gorgeous addition to the bronzey neutral shadows that make up the rest of the palette. The three bronzer/blushes are super pigmented and really gorgeous. I would say if you are looking to try something from the range this is definitely in my top picks. Check out my post on the contour palette from City Color if you're interested in another great product.

Have you guys tried anything by City Color?

  5. Those are great colors! I love shiny eye shadows, but I rarely use them in my everyday routine. Perhaps, I need to experiment more with shiny colors. This palette seems like a great starting point!

    1. Thank so much! i have the opposite problem, I rarely use mattes even though I think they are so nice! This palette is definitely a nice subtle shimmer with a few pops thrown in, good for transition into sparkle. Thank you so much for stopping in gorgeous! XO -Kim

  6. OMG!! so pretty :D This palette oddly makes me want to go to Hawaii or Bora Bora haha. The shades look so pigmented! Is city colors a drug store brand or high end brand? because that honestly a really great price for what you're getting!

    1. Hahaha, same! Somewhere where the weather is golden and lvoely! It's a drugstore brand so this is definitely one of the pricier items but it's so beautiful. Their contour palette is one of my favorites and it's only $7 or $8 so definitely worth trying this brand out. Thank you so much for stopping in lovely lady, I hope you are having a great week! XO -Kim

  7. I've never tried anything from City Color but I really like that green color! It looks like good value for money. I am currently on a no-buy though. I need to break some habits!
