My Friday fave this week is this gorgeous Duochrome Palette from Neve Cosmetics. If you've not heard of them before, Neve are a cruelty free, very vegan friendly, Italian brand. I love their eyeshadows, they are really pigmented and their palettes retail at about £25, but the pans are HUGE. I don't know if it shows below but you get 10 in a palette, so that's around £2.50 per eyeshadow and each one is 3g. You can buy refills too. So to put that in perspective, you get 3g for £2.50 (£2.95 if you buy the refils pans). MAC eyeshadows are £10 for 1.5g (and that's just the pan, they are £13 in the plastic case!)
The packaging is beautiful, it's a bit more pinky purple in real life.
The colours
The colours are described on Cocktail Cosmetics, as follows:
- Acid Rain cold green with reflections gold.
- Utopia - dark cobalt blue with pink highlights.
- Phoenix -intense heat from the copper-colored glows pink.

And here are the swatches

Ugh, beautiful. Check out Phoenix, that amazing copper! It's soooo gorgeous.
Also, duochromes are fantastic for a dark smokey eye, so I swatched a few of them over a black base (black gel liner)
I got this palette from Cocktail Cosmetics, but it seems to be out of stock right now (I think it's limited edition) but a quick google shows it for sale HERE for £24.95.
