Beauty Product Reviews
Gorgeous and versatile
I just love this palette. All the colors are gorgeous in the pan, but you really have to swatch them to see how amazing they are. Even the palest pastels are extremely pigmented, creamy, and blendable. The shimmers are beautiful and the duochromes especially are stunning. I find I'm able to create a variety of looks from subtle to bold. My only nit-pick: I wish there was at least one dark shade for lining (other than the purple), but that's a personal thing and it doesn't detract from the overall palette at all.
A very pleasant surprise
I got this palette in my 2022 Lucky Bag, and I'm really glad that I did. I don't think I would have bought it for myself (it looks a little intimidating), but after watching the product videos and trying it out, I'm in love. The colors are so versatile, and they blend beautifully. I tried using some of them as blush as shown in the videos, and wow! I've never had blush stay visible on me ALL DAY, but these pigments do. Used as eyeshadow they were equally fantastic with lots of staying power and minimal creasing. After experimenting a bit I can say that this palette is infinitely versatile, at least for me - I can get eye shadow, liner, brow color, blush, contour, and highlight out of just this one palette. I could pack this, a mascara, my foundation, and maybe a shimmer highlight for a trip and be prepared for any occasion. Awesome.
Stiff? Yes! But it works!
I knew as soon as I read the other reviews that this was the brow brush I've been looking for. I'm a big fan of the Bobbi Brown eyebrow brush, which is even stiffer than this one. It's nice to have another option (I go through those BB brushes like nobody's business). This is wider than the BB brush, which makes it a little difficult for me to use for sketching in vertical hairs, but for creating the framework of a well-shaped brow it is PERFECT.
Burst of cherries into a smoky decadence
I'm so glad I took the plunge and treated myself to this. At first application, it's sweet/tart cherries and almond, but on me it dries down to a smoky clove and vetiver finish with just a hint of cherry. It is delectable and I can't get enough of it. Overpriced? Perhaps...but it's very unusual and I have no regrets.
