In January 2017, I got my second year of the Lucky Bag 2017 from Beautylish.

I took this picture from my Instagram. Here are the items I received. I already reviewed RGB Nail Color Remover (top middle) and Bioderma Sensibio H2O (middle right). For this post, I will review the palette from Viseart.

Thoughts: To be honest, I was most excited about this product from the Lucky Bag. I heard great things about Viseart palettes. Not only that, the colors are something I would reach for in daily basis. I know I will get good use out of this palette.

Here's a closer look inside the palette.

Here's a closer look at the six eyeshadows; the left column are the mattes and the right are shimmers. On the sides of each shadows, there's a dip you can pull out each shadows.

Here's a closer look at one of the eyeshadows;  this is the bottom row on the right.

Here's a swatch of the colors from left to right on my hand: top left, top right, middle left, middle right, bottom left, and bottom right.

Now for the looks I created...
Look #1:

I applied the middle right on the lid, and blended the crease and outer v with the middle left. I darkened the outer v with the bottom left.

Here's the same look at a different angle.

Here's an overall look with MAC Lustre Lipstick in Aloof on the lips.

Look #2:

I applied the top right on the lid, and blended the crease and outer v with the middle left. I darkened the outer v with bottom left.

Here's the same look at a different angle.

Here's an overall look with Pat McGrath Labs Mattetrance Lipstick in Venus in Furs on the lips.

Look #3:

I applied a mixture of bottom right and top right on the lid, and blended the crease and outer v with middle left. I darkened the outer v with the bottom left.

Here's the same look at a different angle.

Here's an overall look with girlactik Long Lasting Matte Lip Paint Liquid Lipstick in Sweet on the lips.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while applying. I just sniffed the product and there's a slight scent. The first thing that came to mind is grass. I don't know why. Secondly, I have mixed feelings about the packaging. I like the color, unique packaging, and how small it is. With that said, it's made out of cardboard paper with brown suede texture. I've always been mixed with cardboard packaging. It's earth friendly but at the same time the edges bend easily. Thankfully, there are no bends anywhere on this palette. The thing I noticed about the suede texture is that there are a lot of scratches and you can see the shiny powders on it. I love the flip packaging. I have never seen this with any eyeshadow palettes. It's well-made and sturdy. The opening part has a magnetic inside the packaging. You can hear a clicking noise when you close the opening, and can feel a tight seal when open and closed. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. It's small enough to throw in your purse, bag, and even the pocket. Not only that, I think it's cool you can take out the pans easily with your hand. On the sides of each pan, there's a dip. If you own more than one of Viseart palettes, you can create your own replacing the pans. It is up to the individual how they create their own palette. Third, the consistency is buttery soft for both mattes and shimmers. It feels great in-between the fingers. With that said, it's easy to use. The brush easily picks up both the mattes and shimmers. It's also easy to apply onto the lids and blend. The best part they don't look like one color on the lids. You can see the transition from one color to the others. With that said, it's compacted but there are a decent amount of loose powder inside the packaging. Fourth, the colors are on the neutral side and great all year round. It's good for everyday especially for work. Pigmentation-wise it's up there. I wouldn't say it's the most pigmented but couple of layers were good enough on my skin. Lastly, it lasted all day on me. I did not see any creasing, smudging, and fading. It look at the end of the day as I applied it. With that said, I'm glad I got to try this palette. I've been curious about Viseart. Even though I love the colors, I wouldn't say it's my favorite. I can see myself wearing this to work but the colors are more on the neutral side that I don't tend to reach for. I like my neutral colors that are on the warm side. I think this is more in-between neutral to cool tone.

Pros:
* No noticeable scent while applying.
* Unique, small flip packaging.
* Earth friendly; made out of cardboard paper.
* Well-made and sturdy packaging.
* Magnetic closure; clicking noise when you close and can feel a tight seal when open and close.
* Travel-friendly.

* Easy to use.
* Doesn't look like one color on the lids.
* Great neutral, everyday color.
* Great all year round.
* Pigmented.
* No creasing.
* No smudging.
* No fading.
* Lasted all day.

Cons:
* Suede texture packaging; there are scratches and shimmery loose powders.

Would repurchase: Maybe.
