Here’s the look I got by using that light, peachy-beige for blending and a highlight, the warm, matte sable in my transition area with a touch of the shimmery golden-brown (see why names or numbered shadows would make this so much easier to explain?) and finally the periwinkle on my lid and the cocoa matte brown on my outer v blended slightly into the crease:Ī fun, neutral eye look with a pop of color to really bring out my blue eyes!ĭespite the fact that there are some close color dupes to MAC and Urban Decay shadows, would I say this palette is along the same lines in terms of quality? Unfortunately no.

Very happy with the wearability of the shadow formula. However, it’s worth it to have patience because once you work with that shade, you do achieve a lovely, vibrant punch of color! These shadows lasted all day on my lids with a primer and I do tend to get oily so I was impressed they didn’t transfer, have any fall-out or crease during the day. They blended into each other easily and I achieved a nice color-payoff right away: I didn’t have to keep going back in to add more except for that periwinkle color. I am impressed with the pigments in most of these shades. In fact, I learned a lesson not to always trust hand-swatching in the future. I decided to put them to the real test, because come on! Who just buys an eyeshadow palette to swatch it on the back of your hand? Well, my lovely readers, you’ll be happy to know that despite the fact that these shadows did not swatch very well initially, they did show up nicely on my eyelids and I had no trouble blending them and patting them on gently to build up color and I did NOT use a damp brush or wet the shadows in any way. Much better! I felt now I could really see how these might perform on my eyelids since I always wear a primer anyway. None of the YouTube videos I watched commented on how poorly they swatch and so I almost wondered at first if there was something wrong with my palette because I expected to feel buttery soft shadows that glided on like a dream. However… my initial thoughts when swatched dry with my fingertips on the back of my hand? I was NOT impressed and started to get worried. I’ll be honest, I couldn’t wait to swatch this puppy because the colors look so stunning together.

And finally, a dark, navy blue matte base with royal blue sparkles throughout which seemed a tad on the “gritty side” to me.

A satin, what I would call “periwinkle” (GORGEOUS on the eye!) but probably the shade I had the most trouble with as you do need patience to build it and it was the chalkiest of the bunch.

A medium, cool-toned purple frosty-metallic that almost appears to be a duochrome (it’s not unfortunately) and is a close dupe for Urban Decay’s Vice 2 Betrayal.

The darkest shade of the bunch (believe-it-or-not!), this matte, deep brownish-black base has sparkly flecks of burgundy throughout and is a very close dupe for Urban Decay’s Naked 3 Blackheart (and dare I say I like this shade even better?!).

A rich, burnt orangey-brown with a metallic finish, the most buttery shadow in this palette and totally stunning!.

The perfect “copper penny” color with lots of shimmer like MAC’s Honey Lust but a tad darker.And a shimmery dark brown, reminiscent of MAC’s Carbonized.A deep, cocoa matte brown (definitely crease-worthy!) like MAC’s Embark.A shimmery golden-brown close to MAC’s Woodwinked but more on the warm side (again, could be for the transition area).

A warm, matte sable-brown similar to MAC’s Soft Brown (which I love for my transition area or for more blending).

A matte, light peachy-beige (peachier than MAC’s Orb but close), perfect for highlighting or blending (this shade happens to be close to my natural skin tone so I’ll use it more for blending).

“Natural is beautiful, but makeup is glam” and I couldn’t agree more with Judy!
