Thoughts: When I first saw this palette in store, I fell in love. It's my type of palette I tend to look for. I love shiny, metallic, warm, neutral shadows.
Now for looks I created...
Look #1:
Look #2:
Look #3:
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's a scent when you open the palette. It's supposed to smell like chocolate but I think it smells more like cocoa. I know some people think they smell the same, but I actually think they smell slightly different. I think chocolate is more sweeter. This has more a musky scent. I hope that makes sense. I just sniffed the palette and yes, it smells like cocoa. When you apply the eyeshadows on the lid, the scent isn't there anymore or either I got used to it. Secondly, the packaging is alright. They made it to look like chocolate gold. It's a chocolate bar with covered gold. I like the concept but it kind of looks childlike in my opinion. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick plastic. The lid is nice as sturdy as well. I can feel a tight seal when I open the lid and I can hear a clicking noise when I close it. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For that reason, it's travel-friendly. The size is like a normal palette. It's easy to throw in your bag. It also comes with a mirror. If you take it travelling, you do need a brush. Third, the consistency is buttery soft. It feels soft in-between the fingers. It comes with 12 shimmery, metallic shadows and 4 mattes. I like the mattes. It's great for the crease, outer v, under the eyebrow, and as a transition color. With that said, it's easy to use. I just dip into the shadows and it grabs a decent amount for the eyes. When you blend the shadows, it doesn't look like one eyeshadow on the eyes. You can see the transition between the colors, at the same time, the colors blend well together. Also, I didn't notice that much loose powder/fall out. There are some in the palette but it's so minimal compared to a lot of other palettes. Fourth, the colors are pretty. Most of the colors I reach for. I tend to like neutrals, warm tones, and transition colors. In all honestly, there's only four colors I hardly touch. If you like glitters, this isn't it. It's more metallic, foil-like look with a mixture of mattes. You can also make the entire look matte. It is up to the individual. This is great all year round, as well as, during the daytime and night. You can make it look like an everyday look, at the same time, you can smoke it out or make it bright. Pigmentation-wise I'm impressed. I didn't have to layer for the colors to show. Couple layers were good enough on my eyes. Lastly, it lasted all day on me. Since I have dry skin, most products last all day. There were no creasing, as well as, the colors did not fade. It looked good at the end of the day as I applied it. I'm glad I got this palette. It got a lot of love from me!
