Terrible

I got a sample of this with my most recent Beautylish purchase. I loved the smell, and was excited to try it out.

I followed the directions exactly. My hair is on the finer side - as soon as I put this on my head, my hair basically matted up. I rinsed it off, and put a conditioner in, and left my hair for a few minutes to soak it up, because I couldnt run my fingers through my hair like usual.

After drying and styling, my hair had a film in it for 2 days - leaving it feeling greasy and heavy.

The rest of the sample went right in the garbage - maybe it's my hair type, but my experience was horrible.

Beautiful

Initially, I wasn't sure about the Tourmaline palette - I have the Imperial Topaz one, so I figured the quality would be similar - but the deeper burgundy/plum colours seemed pretty bold, and I wasn't sure I could get a soft everyday look from this set.

Happy to report that I was wrong! You can absolutely do a softer day look with this palette, and the shadows build nicely if you do want more of a bold look. The colour story is unique, and the shadows blend beautifully together with little effort. The sparkly topper is less intense than the other palette I have, but I think it makes the overall look a little more sultry and nuanced.

If you can get over my poor eyeliner application in the images, you can see how the four shades on the left of the palette can be blended into a soft, everyday wearable look.

Happy I purchased this - it's quickly become a favourite of mine!
