Pros
As expected, it is indeed the best I've tried various dark-colored eyeshadows, but they seem to be from the Galapagos region as well, It has the least fallout, and the glittery particles are not just on the surface but seem to last throughout the entire use of the product
Cons
The only downside might be that the individual eyeshadows are priced at the level of an eyeshadow palette, but once you buy them, they seem to last a really long time

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 cried tears of sorrow when my beloved item broke into pieces... But I've collected the pieces and am using it again... I previously used a similar affordable item, but this one definitely feels less heavy and the shimmer is clearer. The Galapagos color is undoubtedly prettier. The affordable one had better application, but it had more powder fallout. I find it more comfortable to apply and blend this one.
Cons
The Japanese... brand... After the renewal, the price has gone up but the quantity has decreased....

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
The Galapagos has become my life essential!🍑 I wonder why I hesitated so much ㅜㅜ I bought it online for less than the retail price, and the color, durability, and everything else were great. I'm a cool-toned person, but I was a bit worried about the warm gold tone. Since gold is often too warm in other places, right? But when I applied it, the gold shimmer wasn't too noticeable, and it blended in nicely, luckily! The eyeshadow application is the best, and it's also great for creating shadows around the eyes👍🍑 ++There's really little fallout..so good I'm the type who doesn't spend much on brushes, so I use an affordable Aritaum brush, and there's really no fallout! The eyeshadow quality is as good as the price👍 I think I'll keep using it from now on!
Cons
**The price..the evil volume and price..** But I can't not buy it..(it's too pretty..) **The case material has no practicality** And as you use it, the case gets really dirty ㅜ The outer material is not plastic It's a bit matte velvet-like? It seems they changed the outer surface to a soft, fuzzy material during the renewal, and while it looks premium at first, when you carry it around in a pouch, it gets dirty easily ㅜㅜ
Tip
It's great for applying shadow just on the lash line, and it matches well with any color!

Pros
The golden pearl is truly luxurious and beautiful. The brown color itself is also very nicely extracted. There is no powder scattering. It also has a mirror, so it's good for doing touch-up makeup outside! The compact size is also good for carrying around. It doesn't take up much pouch space.
Cons
I wish they would reduce the volume and lower the price as well.. I don't think the day will come when I use all of that up. The amount of the point shadow, which is not a base shadow, is too much.
Tip
Blending it over the eyeliner also creates a beautiful harmony between the brown, the golden pearl, and the eyeliner!

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 color looks quite different from how it actually applies. At first, I found it strange that everyone seemed to like and buy this kind of heavy color. I thought it would be a dark, intense shade that I wouldn't use often. But after trying it out in person, it was completely different from what I expected. While it may look heavy-duty, you can actually create natural-looking gradients and shadows by adjusting the application. The shimmer is visible on the surface, but it doesn't stand out too much on the skin. For those of us who mainly stick to basic makeup, this could be a must-have item to have in your collection. When you want to really make your eyes pop, you can apply it more heavily and broadly.
Cons
I think you'll need a dedicated brush for this. The color is quite intense, so if you use the same brush for other eyeshadows, the colors will end up getting mixed together.

Pros
I really wanted to keep the Galapagos forever, but since it's a Japanese product, I had to use it sparingly and it ended up shattering, and I cried... But I picked up the pieces and am using it again... I used similar cheaper items before, but this one definitely feels less heavy and the shimmer is clearer. The color of the Galapagos is definitely prettier. The cheaper one had better application, but it had more powder fallout. I found this one easier to apply and blend.
Cons
The fact that it's a Japanese product... And after being renewed with a hard-wired formula, the price dropped by about 10 percent, but the quantity was reduced by 50 percent - Nars' business tactic is really absurd and frustrating. Yes... I'm trying to convince myself that it's more convenient to carry around.
