Keilidh x SOSU Urban Bible Palette Review

If you haven't seen this collaboration yet then where have you been hiding? I mean seriously, the collabs recently are BLOWING ME OUT THE WATER, if that's even a thing, like this one which is the SOSU by Suzanne Jackson x Keilidh Cashell 'Urban Bible'. Sosu by Suzanne Jackson creates some of my favourite lashes so when they bought out a whole range with one of my favourite youtubers, you know it's going to be good!

Shades

The palette contains sixteen pans with a mixture of shimmer and matte shadows. There are such a diverse range of colours to create a mixture of fun to grungy looks, which if you follow Keilidh then you'd know that is her down to a T. 

• Veil – A pure white matte
• Saviour – A golden brown matte 
• 1996 – An antique gold foil
• Prophecy – A rich warm brown matte
• Aura – A bright turquoise shimmer
• Faith – A neon yellow matte
• Unruly – A deep burgundy matte
• Oath – A deep cool brown matte
• Majesty – A bright burnt orange matte 
• Myth – A bright lavender shimmer
• Freedom – A neutral purple matte
• Chaos – A metallic green-brown
• Mercy – A baby pink shimmer 
• Sacred Fire – A vibrant red matte
• Sacrifice – A deep purple matte
• Sin – An intense black matte

My favourite shades have got to be Aura and Mercy - these are beautiful shimmers and I'm a sucker for anything with a shim shim.

Formula

Ok this is the interesting bit now....for once, I genuinely think that the mattes work sooooo much better than the shimmer shadows. That's not to say that I don't like the shimmers but personally I think they require a little bit more work. The mattes are the perfect pigment, not overwhelming with colour which is what I prefer because I'm no MUA ok and these blend out really seamlessly without them going cakey and muddy. The shimmers had a mixture of formulas, Myth seamed quite crumbly whereas Chaos was quite hard to pick up with both brush and a finger - Chaos was the shade that caught my eye the most however it just needs a little more love whilst applying.

For the above look, I used: Faith, Saviour, Prophecy, Oath, Chaos, Sin, Majesty and then Myth in the inner corner

Overall

I am excited to really play around with this palette more as I feel like you can create so much due to the range of shades. Like I said, I LOVE the matte shades which is actually really important as I use mattes more than shimmer. I do really recommend this palette and for a total price of £30.95, I'd say it's worth it!
