There was a lot of buzz going around about this palette and the 32-piece palette, but since the 100-piece was only $5 more, I decided to go with it. I've had this palette for about a month already and I honestly haven't reached for it as much as I thought I would.
Since these eyeshadows are part of their studio line, I thought they were a little different than the ones from their BEAUTYBOOKS (click here for review). The BEAUTYBOOKS were nice and pretty pigmented when swatched, but when applied to the lid, they lost a lot of pigmentation. It may be because you get a lot of fallout, so you definitely want to use a good primer & base. Unfortunately, the eyeshadows in this palette are the same.
The colors range from neutrals to brights and their finishes from mattes to frosts.
*SWATCH PICTURES COMING SOON! (They were accidentally deleted before they were transferred).
FINAL THOUGHT: Like the BEAUTYBOOKS, I don't think this is a must have palette, but it is a good buy for anyone that is starting off with makeup or if you just want to play around with certain shades before you invest in one that is higher end. I still prefer my Coastal Scents palettes to this one--yes you only get 88 eyeshadows, they are smaller and more expensive, but I think the quality is much better!
I couldn't agree more. I never purchased one because I knew that even though there was a lot of hype about it, I was still going to refer back to the 88 palette. Great review. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's better to save your money and invest in something that is still affordable but of better quality, like an 88 palette or a few NYX palettes.
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks for the heads up. I've been very interested in purchasing this but I may pass.
ReplyDeleteIt is always dissapointing to buy a large palette and then not use it alot. I think that happens a lot with big palettes, the quality is not as good. Thanks for the review.
