So i caved….. I have been seeing this palette all over twitter, instagram, and youtube for the past couple of weeks & i had to have it. Honestly, when i first saw the pictures (before the palette came out) i was not impressed. I didn't think the colors were anything special and it just wasn't appealing to me.
After seeing a few positive reviews on YouTube, i decided to pick it up. Plus, i had so many subscribers asking for my thoughts on it. I asked you guys on twitter if you wanted to see a first impression or a review after I've used this palette a few times. A lot of you said a first impression- but i couldn't wait to do a video on it- I had to test it out right away!
Right away i can tell you the one color I'm not happy with- which probably won't be a surprise if you have seen reviews on this palette. "Trick" is the one color that looks absolutely stunning in this palette. It just stands out. Now when i tested out this color at Ulta, it was very pigmented. So I'm not sure what the deal is with that. Maybe you just have to break it in a few times to get the color payoff? But as you can see from the photo below, it doesn't have ANY color payoff. It took me a good few swipes to get a little bit of the color to show up.
Now that we have the negative out of the way- I absolutely LOVE the other colors. Keep in mind, i have only swatched them, i have not applied them to my eyes. (I'll have a full in depth review on my YouTube channel once i figure out what my final thoughts are) -- As you can see from the swatches, the rest are very pigmented! My favorites are the matte shades because… well.. I'm a sucker for any matte shade. lol The other colors are absolutely stunning though.
So from my first impression so far, i really do love it! Ill be doing a tutorial with this palette this week, so just stay tuned for that! Did any of you purchase this palette? What are your thoughts?
I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend & Happy Holidays!
Xo,
Casey
