Accessorize Icon and Merged Eyeshadows Review and Swatches Part 2

As promised, here's part 2 of my Accessorize single eyeshadows. This time I have 5 Icon Eyeshadows and one Merged Eyeshadow to show you. To read about these in more detail, please check out part 1 of my review. However I would like to add that the Merged Eyeshadow in this post is slightly different to the ones I reviewed in part 1. It is possibly my least favourite Accessorize eyeshadow, it is quite glittery and the glitter is a bit more chunky and flaky this time, and there is quite a bit of fall out (only during application though, not afterwards). It's still lovely and I do like it, but maybe don't love it quite as much as the others. The Icon Eyeshadows in this post are the same excellent quality as the others. 


This time I have Denim, Champagne, Molten Copper (Merged), Chocolate Fondant, Mermaid and Sage. All the swatches below were done dry with just one swipe. You can see just how gorgeous and pigmented these eyeshadows are. Once again, highly recommended (just maybe not Molten Copper).

Accessorize Icon, Baked Duo and Merged Eyeshadows Review and Swatches Part 1

Today I only have time for a quick post with some more Accessorize eyeshadow swatches (it's my daughter's birthday today and we were busy with her party this afternoon). I actually bought these back in November, but never really got around to swatching them, or even wearing them much actually, which has now changed because I have been trying new looks out every day this and last week with these and my newer Accessorize eyeshadows (the baked ones I reviewed here and here, and there will be one more review in the next few days with part 2 of single eyeshadows).


In this post I have 9 eyeshadows to show you, one of the older Baked Duo Eyeshadows (not available at Superdrug anymore, but you can still find them on the Accessorize website), 2 of the Merged Eyeshadows and 6 of the Icon Eyeshadows. The Baked Duo Eyeshadows (BDE) are pretty similar to the ones I've reviewed before, but in this you get 2 solid colours rather than a mixed one and a solid one. The Merged Eyeshadows (ME) are basically one colour with different coloured veins, much like half of the new duos. The Icon Eyeshadows (IE) are the softest, almost creamy powder eyeshadows ever and they come in a good range of colours. I have another 5 to show you and I think they are all pretty amazing. They don't crease or fade, are very easy to apply and blend, and they're cheap, plus their packaging is very cute. You will see in the swatches below that they are extremely pigmented, all the swatches are one swip dry swatches and look amazing! I recommend them wholeheartedly. They cost £4 and you get 2.5 g per eyeshadow. The Baked Duo Eyeshadows are currently £2.00 (were £4.00) and you get 4.5 g, and the Merged Eyeshadows are £4.5 for 3 g each.
