I am fortunate to receive some JOAH products from Influenster.

I took this picture from my Instagram. I already reviewed JOAH I'm Your Jelly Bae! Matte Gel Lipstick in Honey (bottom left). For this post, I will review the eyeshadow palette on the top left.

Thoughts: When I first saw this palette, I said to myself these are my colors. Not only that, the packaging is oh so cute. I couldn't wait to try this out.
Here's a closer look inside.

Now for looks I created with this palette...
Look #1:
I applied Pleased on the lids, and blended the crease and outer v with Cappuccino. I darkened the outer v with Evil.
Here's the same look at a different angle.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while applying. I just sniffed the product and there's no scent whatsoever. Secondly, the packaging is so cute. It fits with the Asian packaging especially from Korea and Japan. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick cardboard paper. I'm usually not a cardboard fan. I noticed from my experience they bend in the corners, as well as, it collects loose powder. This one is actually nice. I don't see any bending and loose powder on the palette. You can feel a magnet in the inner middle of the lid, as well as, in the middle part of the pink part where it holds the shadows. Because of the magnets, the lid is sturdy where you can feel a tight seal and hear a clicking noise when you open and close. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. The size of the palette is decent to throw in your purse and bag. It does not come with a mirror so you do need to carry one if you take this palette for traveling, as well as, a brush. Third, the consistency is buttery soft. It feels soft in-between the fingers. The shimmers are more softer than the matte by just a little bit. It really doesn't make that much of a difference. With that said, it's easy to use. The brush picks up the shadows well and applies nicely on the skin. It's also easy to blend and the colors do not look like one color on the lids. You can see the transition from one color to another. If you're not a shimmer person, this palette isn't for you. Most of the colors are shimmers except one. I kind of wish the darkest and the lightest colors were matte. The darkest color is great to darken the outer v and smoke out the look, and the lightest is the best to apply under the brows. Since most of the colors are shimmer, having the color under the brow as a shimmer was a little too much for me but that's personal taste. With that said, the shadows are compacted. There's hardly any loose powder inside the package. Fourth, the colors are great. It's a great everyday color and good for all year round. With that said, the colors are not unique. You will find these colors in other brands. On the other hand, the price for the palette is a good deal. You might want to miss other brands and go for this one. It is up to you. Pigmentation-wise it's up there. I wouldn't say it's the most pigmented but couple layers were good enough for my skin tone. Lastly, it lasted all day without creasing, smudging, and fading. Then again most products last all day on me since I have dry skin. At the end of the day, it looked like how you applied it. I'm glad I got to try this product. Not only is it a good palette, it's good for the wallet. I'm glad I got introduced to a good, new brand!
