Pros
The longevity is great and the color is beautiful! I mainly use it to help with eyeliner smudging, so having one means I can use it for a really long time :)
Cons
The blending is not easy and the gold pearls are not very visible when applied to the eyes

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 color is so vibrant and pretty, don't you think? I use it to smudge out my eyeliner, and it has great staying power.
Cons
There's nothing disappointing about it. The only potential downside for those who use a lot of eyeshadow is that the color may not be visible on the outside.

Pros
I usually do my eye makeup every day. Using eyeliner was troublesome to draw and difficult to remove, so I tended to use dark brown eyeshadow to apply. Galapagos is the ultimate, but I hesitated about the price and eventually decided to buy it. I think I'll be able to use it for a long time. The lasting power is also good.
Cons
Price. Price. Price. Price. Price. Price. Price.
Tip
It's not a dark brown tone like in the photo, but just a plain brown. The golden shimmer is so shiny. ✨ You can get it a bit cheaper at Gallery X Mall. But the online duty-free shop is the best. 👍🏻

Pros
Hmm... NARS products seem to have good longevity overall. The eyeshadows also vary in longevity, but NARS definitely lasts a long time. And the color selection is unbeatable.
Cons
The prices are really expensive haha. Of course, they never go on sale, and even the online lowest price including shipping is still expensive, so there's no difference from the department store prices :(
Tip
Duty-free is the answer!!

Pros
My skin tone is cool-toned and combination. In simple terms, it's like my soulmate eyeshadow. I'm using it instead of eyeliner. The lasting power is great, and it makes my eyes look dreamy. It's best to apply it with a thin brush.
Cons
While I don't have any complaints about using it, it's really hard to buy. It's sold out every time I go, which I guess means it's very popular.
Tip
I apply it with the Picasso bullet brush, and they work great together.

Pros
There is absolutely no fallout and the longevity is amazing....The tiny gold flecks may seem a bit daunting at first, but that was my own mistaken perception. Upon closer inspection, you can barely see the shimmer! It's a multifunctional product - you can use it as an eyeliner and it's gorgeous for eyeshadow too! The color payoff is truly incredible... It's the best from NARS, unlike some more affordable options, the color is just unbeatable.
Cons
I purchased the recently renewed version, and while the previous version was 2.2g, the renewed one is only 1.1g. Yet the price only went down from 36,000 to 32,000 won - is this for real? It's not even half the price, just a 4,000 won decrease... NARS is so great, but the pricing is outrageous.
Tip
Everything else is great, I just love it hahaha except for the price. NARS, please, the price point...

Pros
The pigmentation is really good and there are tiny gold flecks in it, so it's so beautiful 😭😭😭 Just applying a little bit and shading the eyelid and drawing the eyeliner is really simple yet so pretty 😭😭😭 It's good that it can be used in various places. I have oily eyelids but it doesn't smudge and has great staying power.
Cons
It's not so much a downside as the eyeshadow quality itself isn't that great! It's thick and stiff, but personally it's not bad for me.
Tip
If you lightly dampen the brush when applying the eyeliner, it will last all day...

Pros
The longevity and pigmentation are phenomenal. I have several brown shimmer shades, and this seems to be the best one.
Cons
It's expensive...? It's expensive, but the quantity is good, so it's okay.
