Here's my review after purchasing online and using it in various ways:
First off, the color combinations are fantastic! The shades complement each other beautifully and blend well together. Unlike some of Etude's previous palettes like Juice Bar or Cherry Blossom, which had nice colors but limited combinations of neutral and bold shades, this one allows for endless versatile looks!
Secondly, it doesn't make my eyes look puffy! As someone with monolids and extra skin on my eyelids, I'm prone to looking swollen. But the color tones aren't too bright, so they don't appear to float, and the shimmery pearl finish is subtle enough to wear without worry.
Also, except for 2-3 shades, most colors are unique and not available as single shadows. They're absolutely gorgeous... truly irreplaceable hues that you can't find in other brands or even Etude's single shadows. The colors are just stunning!
Oh, and the case design has slightly changed since the In the Cafe and Juice Bar palettes. The Cherry Blossom and Wine Party editions have an improved opening mechanism, which feels much more secure. With the older palettes, I almost scratched myself a few times while opening them.
I didn't really notice any drawbacks. If I had to mention something, it would be about the manufacturer. Some say the powder fallout and pigmentation aren't as good as before, but personally, I found it better than other brands.
This isn't just about this palette, but Etude shadows work perfectly with Etude brushes. I didn't experience any clumping when I controlled the pressure, but for those who do, I recommend getting a base shadow brush or bullet brush to use with it.
