Catrice 5 in a box mini eyeshadow palette 080 Diamond Lavender Look

The Catrice 5 in a Box Mini Eyeshadow Palette 080 Diamond Lavender Look is super compact — it easily fits into any makeup bag, and with just 4 g of product, it’s clearly designed for convenience. The plastic packaging feels sturdy and even looks almost like glass, while the lid closes with a satisfying click. A nice touch: the formula is infused with rose oil, as stated on the front.

The color story is built around soft lavender and purple tones. Inside, you get five shades: two mattes and three satin finishes:
— a light pearly white;
— a muted matte taupe;
— a satin lilac;
— a grey-purple satin;
— a matte dark grey.

Texture-wise, it’s a bit of a mixed experience. The matte shades feel quite dry and tend to kick up powder, while the lighter taupe barely shows up even when layered. The satin shades perform better — they’re softer and more pleasant to work with, though still not very pigmented. The standout is definitely the lilac shade, which looks the most vibrant and actually brings the palette to life.

That said, the palette doesn’t feel fully самостоятельной. It’s hard to create a complete eye look with it alone: there’s only one deeper shade for definition, and blending relies mostly on satin textures, which limits versatility.

Wear time is decent — about half a day on a good base before the colors start to fade. On the bright side, the shimmer shades don’t cause fallout, which is always a win.

Overall, it’s a cute, travel-friendly palette for soft, everyday looks — but it might need support from other products to really shine.
