REVIEW Jemma Kidd Make Up School: Eye 'Enchanted Summer'

  A while ago I did a review on a Jemma Kidd blusher, when I purchased that I also bought this little eyeshadow palette. 
The packaging is a sleek matte black, not dissimilar in feel to a NARS blusher.
 Inside you get four eyeshadows (plus a nice big mirror!). The reason I was drawn to this particular palette is because of the  colours are not something that I would usually pick, but I would quite like to experiment with. Below I have swatched the shades in the same order they come in the palette. The 'beige' shade doesn't particularly show up on my skin, but if you click to enlarge the image you can see it clearly.
Blue: A deep sky blue, highly pigmented with green and purple iridescence.
Mauve: Deep purple with lilac iridescence.
Beige: I would describe this to be more of a pale gold shade, yet it has silver shimmer running through it.
Brown: A mid-brown shade with bronze (almost pinkish) shimmer.

I created my EOTD with this palette:

I used 'beige' on the inner 1/4 and underneath my eye, 'brown' all over the lid and 'mauve' on the crease, just to add a little depth.

I haven't used the blue yet, because I really don't know how to! I think it wouldn't look very nice on me all over the lid, and paired with any of the other colours I think it will look daft in the crease.
Any suggestions lovelies?
What do you think about this palette?
Love, H xoxo

REVIEW Jemma Kidd Make Up School: Cheek

So, as I am in fact somewhat of a beauty newbie, I was interested to try out a Jemma Kidd Make Up School palette. I chose two, this blush duo as well as an eye palette that review is coming soon! 
The shade I chose is Clear Pink/Rose.
The leaflet enclosed explained how to use the product apple of the cheeks blah blah, and how you can use the lighter shade for daytime and the deeper pink for evening. This surprised me as my initial reaction was that the light shade was a highlight. Personally that shade is far too pale for a blush as I do prefer a pop of colour. However in the picture I have used it as a highlight and I am impressed! 
 The colour is highly pigmented, even the pale shade.
Beautiful packaging also...
Avaliable here
Have you ever tried any Jemma Kidd products?
Love Hannah xoxo.
