Mellow Baked Eyeshadow in Coco Review

Had never heard of Mellow until the NZ Brands beauty box when I received the COCO eyeshadow. First look screamed quality and high pigmentation with a good amount of shimmer without being too glittery. Soft and smooth to apply so easy to blend. I was happy with the amount of colour you could transfer as I have had trouble with more expensive branded pressed pigments. A good size for the price too! Would definitely be interested in trying more colours in this range.

I was so happy to receive the Coco Mellow Baked Eyeshadow in one of the 2 beauty boxes I purchased. I always use browns but this was better than the rest. It has a beautiful shimmer to it. This will last me ages as a little goes a long way. I love that it is cruelty free.

I got this in the Best Beauty Box Ever New Zealand Brands box and am absolutely thrilled with it. I probably wouldn't have ever thought to buy or try it were it not for this wonderful beauty box! I do love to wear eye shadow a few times a week to work and try different colours and brands, and this one is definitely at the top of my favourites list now. It's a cute wee container that fastens closed properly so no risk of spillage, and it's easy enough to open too, despite the secure closed latch. The product itself doesn't seem to disintegrate and loosen, causing wastage and scattering, which I am VERY happy about, having had this happen with so many eyeshadow products. However, usually when eyeshadow is good at not doing that, it can be difficult to get enough product on the brush to get really good, thick coverage and colour. Not so with Mellow Baked! A few sweeps of my brush gets enough eyeshadow on to sweep my lids with beautiful, rich colour without having to layer too much. I use Elf eyeshadow primer at the moment, and find the colour lasts all day without creasing (and even with the primer, not all shadows are good like this). I am also finding that since you don't need to use much each time it will be long lasting, so the price is worth it in my view. Coco is a beautiful shade of golden brown with a faint bit of shimmer. And New Zealand made! Highly recommended.
