Totally different to how it looks online
I was hoping for a nice blush pink like how it appears online, reality is it's actually a warm orange-brown peachy shade and not ideal for my complexion. If I use a good pink lip liner then it's quite wearable, but certainly not anything like the neutral blush pink in the pictures. Love the formula, this is my third ND lipstick but have to admit my least liked shade.
Missing a key shade but otherwise great
Overall I really love this palette; it's quite versatile and you can do a good variety of looks in the brown, green and pink family. My biggest criticism is it's missing a deeper matte brown, they are both shimmers so it's difficult to deepen a look or line without pulling out another palette. I'm pale so the cool-toned vibe suits my complexion but if you were warm toned it may come off ashy. The greens are very grey-leaning as are the taupes. Another small criticism is there are no real "special" shades like a duo-chrome or multi and there's only 1 cream-to-powder. It's beautiful cool-toned lovers dream and I love it! The packaging is gorgeous and the mirror top quality. I had to rearrange the palette because the original layout was all over the place, first time I've done that with a ND palette.
dull, flat and chalky, not a fan
(Strawberry cheeks). Maybe it depends on shade chosen but this blush is awful. The left side looks like it has some shimmer and life to it in the swatches but in reality it does not. Very dusty, chalky formula and while it blends well, the dull matte finish lacks any life on the cheeks. Given the price it is very disappointing, feel like I'm paying for chalk and there is lots of kickup in the pan. The left side is a dull, flat apricot colour and the right is a pretty mid tone cool to neutral pink, which is lovely, but chalky and matte.
stunning! cannot fault, easy to create beautiful looks
Absolutely in love with this palette. Has a variety of textures and finishes and the possibilities are endless. Can either pack the shadows onto a sticky base for a real pop of colour or blend out and create soft, whimsical looks. Top notch palette and very happy to have it in my collection. The mirror is awesome, super clear and it's not often I use a palette mirror to do a look but this one is fantastic.
