Although I'm the type who impulse-buys pretty eyeshadow palettes despite them not suiting me, only to stash them away unused, I couldn't resist purchasing this after watching some YouTube reviews. Since it was a 1+1 deal, I chose colors I wouldn't normally go for, and I think it was a success. The matte shadows apply very lightly, so they don't look heavy or float on the face, making this a satisfying palette. The variety of shimmers is beautiful and ethereal. Applying the 7th shadow to the aegyo sal (under-eye area) looks lovely. The glittery shades, especially the first and middle ones with large particles, are incredibly glamorous. The staying power is also good - I was worried the chunky glitter shadows would fall off, but they stayed put until I got home from work. While you might think the dazzling shimmers make it unsuitable for everyday looks, I believe this versatile palette can handle both dramatic and subtle daily makeup. The matte shadows have a soft color payoff, which might not appeal to those who prefer intense pigmentation. However, for someone like me who doesn't suit heavy makeup and often ends up looking odd or matronly with most products, this palette is perfect. Photos simply can't capture the true brilliance of this palette's sparkle.
ConsThe downside of the excellent shimmer staying power is that removal can be challenging. Even after thorough cleansing, you might still spot glitter in the mirror. The matte shades, apart from the shimmers, tend to have some fallout.
TipPro tip: When removing with eye makeup remover, it's best to gently scrape off the large glitter particles with your nail or a tool before wiping. Be careful not to rub too hard with a cotton pad soaked in remover, as I nearly injured my eye when some large glitter particles got into it.
