My thoughts
The palette comes in a cardboard packaging and includes an array of colors which can be used for any time or occasion. In the beginning, I was quite thrilled but all my excitement went down the drain soon as I opened the palette. Firstly, it smells awful. For some odd reason, it reminds me of counterfeit/low quality makeup which sadly, sells in every nook and cranny of the city. I, for one, cannot stand the scent and neither will I advise doing so. Secondly, I feel that the quality of the eye shadows is not up to scratch.

If you look at the palette, you’d notice that it contains a blend of pearl and matte shadows. I’m not really pleased with the performance of the shadows to be honest. Most of the shadows are either a) chalky and unpigmented or b) too soft/powdery and have plenty of fall outs – a few shades in between are fine though. The blushes are nice with the exception of two shades that I found to be extremely non pigmented and hard to blend.

Overall, the palette did not meet my expectations. The pricing is outrageously steep. The celebrity makeup artist associated with the collection is no wonder a HUGE name in the industry and I respect him with all my heart however the product is a total washout in my opinion.

You might like it if…
  • You are looking for a palette containing all the necessary shades
  • Some eye shadows and blushes have nice pigmentation
You might not like it if…
  • The strong unpleasant scent bothers you
  • Some shadows are chalky and hard to work with
  • Some shades are too soft and powdery
  • You think it's pricey
My rating
 2/5
