Tokidoki Sodashop Palette Swatches

Check Spelling

Finally getting around to posting swatches of something. For Valentine's Day one of my surprise presents was the tokidoki sodashop palette. I liked the Robbery print a little better but the Sodashop print is super adorable. Unlike the Robbery palette, this incarnation does not include blush/bronzer nor do any of the colors pop out as smaller palettes. Instead you get a Perfetto Eyeliner in Carina which will be swatched later and a Sandy shaped nail file. This version as includes a sheet of magnets of various characters instead of the one larger magnet.

The first look with the plastic box which only enhances the cute:



Without the plastic box, the little red flag on top is also a magnet:



Inside the tin with a view of all the goodies inside. I love the plastic overlay which gives you the name of the eyeshadow and a picture of the character it's named for:



And now for the swatches! All the eyeshadows were swatched over Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Potion Primer in original and the pictures were taken without flash under a daylight bulb.



My impressions of the eyeshadows are that they are fairly pigmented and easy to apply. When I wore them over primer the staying power was comparable to other brands. The colors in this set are fairly versatile and could be used both for more neutral day wear and more exciting colorful looks.
