17 Vintage Love Eyeshadow Palettes for Spring

Last week I picked up these lovely eyeshadow palettes from Boots, they are part of the 17 range spring collection. Since there is currently a 3 for 2 offer on all 17 cosmetics in Boots, I also picked up one of their blushes, which I will try to review later. But for now let's take a look at the eyeshadow palettes.

They come in two shades: Perfect Pastels and Metallic Nudes. Both palettes contain 4.4g of eyeshadows and cost £5.49 each. Both include 6 colours of eyeshadows in complementing shades arranged in a pretty pattern (not sure what though, a bird? butterfly? flower?). I love 17 eyeshadows, they are one of the best budget eyeshadows I've tried (along with Sleek eyeshadows), they are smooth, apply beautifully, don't crease and last all day. I love their single eyeshadows too, so I was very keen to pick up these palettes. 

See more of my review, pictures and swatches after the jump!

Pretty Pastels is a very spring-like palette with shades of pinks and purples, plus a gorgeous light green. The eyeshadows are quite frosty, but they aren't glittery at all, they are very soft and there's no fallout with them.

Metallic Nudes hasn't really got that spring feel to it, but those who like nude eyeshadows will probably prefer it to the pastels palette. Again, the eyeshadows are frosty, but not glittery, smooth and nicely pigmented. Both palettes come with a double ended applicator and mirror inside the lid.

Now onto the swatches, first up Pretty Pastels. The shades are in the same order as in the palette.
