Thoughts: When I first saw this palette in person, I fell in love. The colors, as well as, the mixture of metallic and matte were calling my name. I knew I had to get it.
Now for looks I created with this palette...
Look #1:
Look #2:
Look #3:
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while applying. I just sniffed the palette and there's no scent whatsoever. Secondly, I like the packaging. It's simple, clean, and velvety soft. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick cardboard paper. I've been using it for some time and it hasn't gotten dirty. There's also no fingerprint marks. The lid is also sturdy. It makes a clicking noise when I close the lid, as well as, I can feel a magnetic closure when I open/close. I see the magnets at both corners of the inner lids. It also has a tag/ribbon in the center of the lid. You pull the ribbon to open the lid. To be honest, I'm not used to the ribbon. I don't even use it. I just lift the lid with my fingers. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. It also comes with a mirror and a brush. The brush has two ends for the entire eye. One is to apply onto the lids and the other to blend. You don't really need any other brush. Third, the consistency is buttery soft for both metallic and mattes. I just felt both in-between my fingers. It feels great. With that said, it's easy to use. I just use the brush to apply onto the eyes. It's easy to grab and apply. Not only that, it's compacted. I hardly see any loose powder inside the palette. It's easy to blend and doesn't look like one eyeshadow on the eyes. You can see the transition between the colors and they look great together. Fourth, the colors are pretty. It's a great everyday color, as well as, you can smoke it out for the night out. It's very versatile and great all year round. Unfortunately, the colors are on the warm side. If you're not a fan of warm colors, this isn't for you. I love that it comes with both metallic and mattes. You don't want to apply one type of texture on the eyes. It's best to mix them up or at least in my opinion. Pigmentation-wise it's up there. It's pretty pigmented. One layer was good enough to show on my skin. There are times it's so pigmented I muted the colors with my fingers. Lastly, it lasted all day. It did not crease, fade, or smudge. I'm glad I got this palette. It's one of my favorites I own. I love the colors and how easy it is to use. I don't regret purchasing this palette whatsoever!
