Julie Hewett Twilight Palette

I'd been tempted by this palette on the Julie Hewett site for a while, because it's;

a) called Twilight, and I'm automatically attracted to anything vaguely Twilight-ish.

b) neutral eyeshadows, which I can seemingly never get enough of, and

c) by Julie Hewett.

A dear friend sent it to me as part of one of our semi-regular cultural exchanges (I send stuff she can't get in the US, she sends me things I can't get in the UK.)

The colours are a matte neutral deep brown, a shimmering white, grey with gold micro-sparkles and a shimmering black. Julie Hewett eyeshadows are soft and pigmented; they remind me of the original Stila eyeshadows (I found that the quality of Stila eyeshadows went downhill after they were sold by Estee Lauder.) For me this palette is different enough from the Julie Hewett Soiree palette I already own to have both, but if you had to chose just one I think the Swank (grey with gold sparkles) shade in the Twilight palette gives it the edge.

The card with the palette suggests completing the look with the Vampie Cheekie, which is a reddish berry shade, perfect for Autumn/Winter, and for that pale skinned, flushed lips thing, you know, if you happened to be going for that kind of look...

You can buy directly from JulieHewett.net in the US, and there are details of international stockists on the website too.

I've uploaded a swatch picture, but unfortunately the sparkle in the grey does not show up that well in natural light on my arm.
