This is a brand that will be mentioned quite a bit. But, it wouldn’t be on this list if the products they make those products include their variety of cruelty-free fruit/food-themed palettes. The experience begins right as you open the palette and get a whiff of the tropical pineapple that’s in each of the eyeshadows. This palette provides glitter, metallic, satin, and matte shadows that “give intense payoff for a luxurious, one-swipe coverage. The perfect range of warm browns and creams with a pop of intense sparkling gold are so fresh and creamy they practically demand a drink with an umbrella in it.”
