As promised here's more pictures and swatches of the Yaby Pearl Paints palette :)
Yaby Cosmetics is a Canadian brand that is gaining popularity with makeup artists. heir products come in simple sleek white packaging. Even though the palette is plastic, it feels heavy and much sturdier than say the 88 black palettes or the Sephora Blockbuster palette.
The eyeshadow sizes are about the size of a dime so they are slightly larger than the 88 palettes but smaller than MAC eyeshadow pans. They offer a range of colour finishes, but I wanted the Pearl Paints eyeshadows because of the shimmery finish. I was actually going to buy the pre-made World of Pearl Paints palette, but they were out of stock at IMATS so I bought the palette and shadows separately. It contains all the Pearl Paints except for 3 colours which I substituted from the main range.

Colours that I substituted are:
- Purple in 3rd row from left, second last pan
- Greens in 5th row, the last 2 colours at the bottom
The colours are extremely vibrant, even the regular non-pearl paint shadows. They are even brighter when applied in real life, more than the 88 shimmer palette I have.
Pinks and purples (left side of palette)
Blues and greens (middle of palette)
Neutrals (right side of palette)
I love these colours because they blend well and are extremely pigmented! Here's a FOTD using the greens and the bright yellow shade:
Different lighting:
With flash - shows the shimmer better I think:
I purchased the whole 40 pan palette and colours for $90 at IMATS Toronto, but these palettes are regularly $120 to $136 on the Yaby Cosmetics website. You can find great swatches of the full Pearl Paints palette from Whit and Pursebuzz - the shimmer and pigmentation really show up in their photos.
Overall these are one of my favourite eyeshadows ever due to the creamy, easily blendable texture and vibrant colours. If you are willing to invest in a good quality palette I'd definitely recommend Yaby!
P.S. I just updated my blogsale with more new items. Its more of a preview list since there aren't pictures yet, but if something catches your eye you are more than welcome to buy it! Thanks :)

This is my favourite favourite purchase of 2009 and I'm so happy that the brand is getting more love on the blogs! I need to get myself to an IMATS so I can get the Best of Both Worlds palette :)
The palette by far is my favourite for greens and purples; I find the pinks not as pigmented but they are soft and show up awesome with a base so I'm okay with that, haha.
Happy New Year!
