The Details
Audacity in London Eyeshadow Palette, $69.00 (Limited Edition)
Auda[city] in London features 16 new, limited edition eye shadow shades to create any look. From creamy mattes to sparkling shimmers and intense metallics, Audacity in London is the must-have palette for infinite eye looks.
I ordered this from Lancome ASAP. I have the Audacity in Paris palette and although it’s just OK, I had to give this one a try: as much as I like Paris, I love London! Seriously, I do hope London is a better performing palette than Paris for the price. But it looks lovely!
Ooo, this caught my eye too. Looks like the colors have more depth than the Paris version!
That looks very spring-like to me!
I thought the same thing.
Colors are pretty and subtle. I have read in several places that the fallout is atrocious. Right now, the one-star reviews on this on Sephora are nearly 50% of the 5-star reviews.
Lisa Eldridge is spectacularly talented. If the quality isn’t there, she doesn’t deserve that the formulators crafted and produced an inferior product.
Ooops, oops my mistake. Those reviews were for the Paris palette. Sorry, sorry!
Wow, this looks like the perfect palette for spring! I’m loving the muted greens and purples, very brown eye friendly. I’ve never been too impressed with Lancome’s shadow formula, hoping Lisa will shake things up over there, will definitely need to swatch this in person
Hmm, I like the colors, but I’d want to see it in person for a sniff test. So many of Lancome’s cosmetics are too heavily scented for me.
I hope this has a better formulation than the Paris palette, or any of the current Lancome shadows. I would love to get something of high quality that Lisa Eldridge designed.
What a heck of a lot of eyeshadow! If I recall correctly, the last one of these Auda(city) palettes rated rather poorly. For some strange reason (maybe because I just came home with a new eyeshadow quad), this one isn’t really calling out to me and I am usually such a pushover for neutral type palettes like this.
Lisa said she didn’t work with Lancome on the formulation of the Paris palette on facebook, However she did with the London, so hopefully the quality of the London palette will be better.
Oh, I want this – those greens look lovely. But I still have the ‘Audacity in Paris’ palette, from last year, in the box, unused.
Very pretty but its not a winter palette for me.
I don’t know about all those medium-toned shadows. I’m wondering if this has enough contrast to get looks out of without bringing in other shadows. I remember the Paris one being pretty bad, so I don’t have high hopes for this one.
All I can say is, let’s *hope* the quality is far superior to the Paris version! I love the greens and purples for my green-leaning teal color eyes to punch up the green in my eyes!
It looks nice, and quite London-y. Not sure I’ll get it. A reall, really long time ago Lancome had among the best eyeshadows, in my oppinion. The last one I bought from them, and it was quite some years ago, was very shimmery and I had fall out during application and wear, so I wasn’t so happy with it. I’ve not bought anything from them since.
I do hope this is good, even though I fear the colours running into each other as there’s not not much contrastt between them.
Just adore these shades, and I hope they are really good.
I love the shades so I hope the formula is better than the Paris palette. The quality was so bad it was a no-go for me.
I was thinking I wanted this when I remembered that I just gave my Paris palette away a couple of weeks ago!
Hope this one performs better than last year’s Audacity. I give it to Lancome / Lisa for breaking the brown-nude theme and venturing into pastels this year.
I returned mine. Colors are beautiful, wearable but:
1. Lots of fallout
2. Colors are on the sheer side and do not apply evenly.
3. Brush – meh. I used my Laura Mercier brushes with better (not superior) results.
Overall – pass.
