Product Spotlight: Covergirl Full Spectrum So Saturated Eyeshadow Palette in Reverence

June 4th, 2020 by Karen 6 Comments

For my budget beauty babes who love warm shades.

We live in unprecedented, crazy times, don’t we? That is the UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY. I find myself unconsciously shaking my head in surreal disbelief all the time. So much of what we’ve been seeing lately — and by lately I’m going back way further than this month — does not compute. How many times have you caught yourself saying, “I never thought I’d ever see…”? Shock and confusion describe how I feel every day…

While its importance pales in comparison to the health, safety, economic and social issues now, makeup for me is a safe place. It’s frivolous, simple, and it’s a lot easier to solve.

My take on makeup at this time: if something’s good, that’s great, and if it’s good and affordable, that’s even better. Covergirl’s cruelty-free neutral Reverence eyeshadow palette ticks most of the boxes. For $13, you get a mini warm-toned drugstore version of the O.G. Urban Decay Naked palette. It comes with eight powder eyeshadows. On my 40-something combo skin lids, they last all day long, so no touchups required, because who has time to reapply shadow during a global pandemic? Certainly not this girl. I’m too busy pulling up my stretchy pants and baking lemon bars.

That’s Reverence in action on my lids.

I’ve been wearing the mattes in this palette a lot! This is one of those palettes where you can pretty much pick any two or three shades and whip out a complete look with barely any help from your blending brushes. You can apply the shadows with a wet or dry brush, but remember to tap off the excess product from your brushes before blending, because the shadows are on the fluffy side.

Ingredients:
Mica, Talc, Caprylic,Capric Triglyceride. Dimethicone. Magnesium Stearate, Nylon. 12, Silica, Boron Nitride, Paraffin, Isostearyl Alcohol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Mineral Oiuhuile Minérale/Paraffinum Liquidum, Sorbitan Isostearate. Tocopheryl Acetate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Sodium Dehydroacetate. Microcrystalline Wax/Cire Microcristalline/Cera Microcristallina, Tin Oxide, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, [May Contain/Peut Contenir/+/-: Iron Oxides (CI 77499, CI 77491 , CI 77492), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891). Ultramarines (CI 77007), Carmine (CI 75470), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Blue 1 Lake (CI 42090), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510)].

Also, take it easy on the metallics, because they’re borderline frosty, and they will highlight fine lines. I stick to wearing the bronze, taupe and gold, which I use as eyeliner doing thin lines, and that works for me.

Reverence is one of four color combos in the So Saturated Eyeshadow Palette Line. If neutrals aren’t your thing, there’s also Posh, which is a blend of burgundy tones; Gravity, a mix of smokey grays; and Zodiac, a bevy of brights. You can find all of them at drugstores and Ulta.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    “It’s frivolous, simple, and it’s a lot easier to solve.” THIS RIGHT HERE.
    I’ve watched more makeup tutorials/reviews/GRWMs and purchased more makeup (and very recently in support of black-owned beauty brands) to keep my creative and self-care side engaged.
    That said, I have been going between makeup shenanigans and being glued to the news coverage and necessary conversations that need to be happening (Jimmy Fallon as of June 2 was a great place to start). I want to be informed, but I want to preserve energy for the times that I’ll need it — to stand up and have my own conversations when necessary, and for self-care.
    These Covergirl palettes look amazing. I recently watched Alexandra Anele ROCK a Covergirl palette like nobody’s business! These colors are incredibly flattering on your NC42! 😉

      Hi Christine,

      There are a few other options in this line of palettes, by the way! I’ve only tried this one and the one with pink/burgundy/plum tones, and it’s beautiful. So nice for the price.

      Happy Thursday to you, by the way. I just got back from Connor Claire’s “social distance” preschool graduation for the 4-year-olds and it was sweet and heartbreaking at the same time. All of the kids looked SO big since we saw them in March. And they all didn’t quite understand that they weren’t going to class today. I’m glad she had some time with her friends and teachers!

    Do you have a go-to gluten free lemon bars recipe? I really enjoyed your GF chocolate chip cookies and lemon-blueberry loaf.

      Hi Eileen,

      Funny you should mention this because I’m working on one right now (which is why I keep making them, ha!). When I’m finished tweaking it, I’ll post.

      Glad to hear you’re enjoying the GF recipes. Is there any other treat you’d like to see?

        Your Peach oatmeal recipe is a hit in our family. I have already done this two times in a row! Congrats! Big hugs from Greece!

        I have a major sweet tooth, so anything goes. Perhaps another cookie? Looking forward to your lemon bars!

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
