Pros
It's great as a liner substitute. The pigmentation is good and distinct with just a small amount.
Cons
The case has some transfer, which is inconvenient. Everything else is good though.

Pros
The pigmentation is great, and it's easy to apply the eyeliner.. ㅇㅇㅇ
Cons
The only downside is that there is no eyelash curler, and there is a bit too much glitter, but it's still decent.

Pros
It has good pigmentation and fine gold shimmer, so it applies smoothly without a heavy, cakey feel, making it great for lining the eyes.
Cons
There are no downsides. However, since the pigmentation is so strong, you need to use a brush to apply it precisely to the desired area to avoid mistakes.

Pros
I first bought a similar product at a lower price and tried it out, and since it seemed good, I purchased the original. The color payoff is definitely more intense and vivid compared to the cheaper version. The shimmer is not as noticeable as I expected. The one on the left is Galapagos, and the one on the right is Apieu. Today's shade is Absolutely Mocha.
Cons
The case and the price are a bit disappointing, but I still like it.

Pros
I bought this when Seolhyun was famous for her eyeshadows. The product capacity and color payoff are great, so a small amount is enough to apply. This is my second repurchase item.
Cons
There's not much, but the price and the lid seem to close a bit loosely. And after the renewal, the size has become much smaller, so I know the capacity has decreased after the renewal. But since it's an eyeshadow, it lasts a long time.

Pros
The deep brown color has a reddish hue, and it's filled with golden pearls! It can be considered the original and representative item of the currently popular matte pearl eyeshadows. The pigmentation is vivid, and the lasting power is great, so it can deepen the eye makeup look when used as an eyeliner, and it also works well as an eyeliner substitute. Although the amount has been significantly reduced after the renewal, since you only need to use a small amount each time, it can still last a long time.
Cons
When applied on the eyes, the gold pearls are not very visible. The blending is not smooth, and it tends to apply unevenly. The case!! The sticky case that becomes even more sticky over time is really the worst.
Tip
Once the case starts getting sticky, there's no solution, so just transfer it to a different case.

Pros
1) Color : The combination of burgundy and gold shimmer is so beautiful, it's great for adding depth. 2) Case : It's small and thin, perfect for carrying around in a pouch. 3) Color Payoff : The color payoff is great, it looks beautiful both subtly and intensely.
Cons
1) Since it's mainly for lining, you'll need a dedicated brush for it. 2) It's too intense to apply all over the eyelid, it's best suited for lining. 3) As someone with a fair, cool-toned complexion, it tends to appear quite reddish on me.

Pros
The Mahogany-like color of Nars Galapagos is so beautiful that I often reach for this product. Even when blended out, the eyeshadow maintains its pigmentation without excessive fallout or glitter on the face. This is a versatile color that can be used in many ways. I personally really like the sleek matte black Nars packaging as well, though it does tend to show wear and tear easily.
Cons
While I'm fairly satisfied with using this product, I wouldn't say it's exceptionally amazing. It's just a good, convenient eyeshadow that makes my makeup application easier, which is why I gave it 4 stars.
Tip
The Innisfree One Piece Tiramisu eyeshadow is known to be similar to the Nars Galapagos. Visually, the Innisfree one has more yellow and red undertones compared to the deeper, cooler Nars shade. However, when applied on the eyes, the difference isn't that noticeable since these types of deep brown shades are typically used for lining and defining the eyes in small areas. While the Innisfree eyeshadow has surprisingly good pigmentation, it does have more fallout and glitter issues compared to the Nars version, which maintains its color even when smudged. Overall, if you value a more polished, high-quality look, the Nars Galapagos is the better choice. But if you're just looking for a similar brown eyeshadow at a lower price point, the Innisfree one can work too.

Pros
The color payoff is so beautiful! The eye makeup is great as a finishing touch, and it's so deep and lovely ㅠㅠ
Cons
The color adjustment is a bit tricky, but it's so pretty that it's hardly disappointing
