Review: Looxi Beauty Eyeshadow Collection “The Auroras 2”

One of Looxi Beauty’s most popular eyeshadow collection, The Auroras, now has another set of 12 shadows to keep it company in the top spot! Introducing The Auroras 2! These metallic shimmer shadows will bring out the bling in any special occasion … or occasional “Yes-I-made-up-my-face-just-so-I-could-stay-in” look. Looking for swatches on brown skin? I’ve got more pictures and a full review below!

No recent changes to my Looxi obsession. If anything, the addiction has deepend with the addition of these 12 new shadows. This collection has everything for a warm gold/copper lover to a purveyor of bold, bright shades.
Opening up my package, my eye was immediately drawn to Ultraviolet, a gorgeous pink/purple duochrome. That’s still my favorite so far! Next on that love list would be Siren of the Sea which reminds me of something Ariel would wear swimming around Atlantica in the pre-legs era. Seriously, the green would really play off her red hair!

​Moving into the “nudes” (if you can call them that), the champagne nature of Aura fit in perfectly with the rose gold trend that’s booming right now. That’s something you can just put on your eyelid and run – nothing else needed. And I’d be blind if I said that Rockit didn’t drop my jaw immediately as well. This one is for all the copper lovers in the house!

Formula-wise, these are all similar to the original Auroras BUT there is less product kicked up when dipping a dry brush into a pan. I still recommend spritzing a little setting spray on your brush before you use since that will help with the overall application and increasing the metallic nature of the shadow. I am missing one shade from the 12 pan collection, but I felt that with these 11, I had a good sense of the consistency of all the shadows in the collection. ​

If you could only grab a handful, I would say go for my top 4: Rockit, Juno, Ultraviolet, and Siren of the Sea. These will cover your neutral and not-so-neutral needs. Some of the other colors – especially some of the neutrals – swatched a little too close for me to say you would need both. For example, Peachy Keen and Phoenix swatched within a half shade of each other. The same goes for Aura and Space Case (even though Space Case has a slight gold shift).
Overall, another excellent collection from Looxi Beauty! And with the shadows selling for only $5, you really can’t go wrong. And save more money with my affiliate code SPENCE10 at checkout!
