PARK AVENUE products part 1

I was recently wondering around in our DI store (Belgian drugstore similar to DM) and ended up looking at the Park Avenue stand. Usually I pass by as it is the cheapest brand but this time I decided to buy few products and see if they are good or not.

I bought 3 single eyeshadows, one small palette, lip gloss, face primer and foundation. Let’s talk about eyeshadows first and about other products later on.

PARK AVENUE products

SINGLE EYESHADOWS

Price: 4,25€.

Colours: medium warm brown (n.11), dark cool tone brown (n.24) and warm purple (it was a sample given to me so there is no number on the back of the packaging). All eyeshadows have very small beige glitter that is not visible once applied on the lid. On the eyes the eyeshadows look like they have satin finish.

PARK AVENUE single eyeshadows

Pigmentation: as you can see on the picture the eyeshadows are very pigmented. I was actually surprised by such a good pigmentation compared to the price I paid.

Texture: the eyeshadows are easy to blend, every time I used them I had absolutely no problem applying them and was able to create very nicely blended eye look. However they aren’t as buttery as high end eyeshadows. If you look at closer picture you can see that they didn’t smooth my eyelid and all my wrinkles and uneven skin were quite visible.

Longevity: I used eye primer (Shadow insurance by Too Faced) every time I applied the eyeshadows. As already mentioned the colours were pigmented and blended well. By the evening the eyeshadows haven’t moved or creased however they lost some of its pigmentation. I feel like they faded away during the day. Still, the eyelook looked good just lighter, little bit washed out.

EYESHADOW PALETTE QUATTRO n.10

Price: 4,95€.

Colours: white, light and dark purple, and cool dark brown. They all have small beige glitter as in the case of single eyeshadows, again it is not visible once applied on the eyes.

PARK AVENUE Quattro eyeshadow palette n.10

PARK AVENUE Quattro eyeshadow palette n.10

Pigmentation: it has little bit lower pigmentation than single eyeshadows.

Texture and longevity: the same texture as previously, they blend nicely and stay on all day but they fade away and the eyelook looks lighter.

Final verdict: these eyeshadows (singles or in palette) are great for beginners since they don’t cost much and they are very blendable so totally fool-proofed. I definitely recommend them when you are just starting with make-up or if you are looking for budget friendly option.
