Nothing particularly bad to mention! If I had to point out a drawback, it might be that it's hard to find.

Excellent for detangling! Now I understand why it's so popular! Highly recommended.

하드와이어드 아이섀도우 [갈라파고스]

It's often out of stock, making it difficult to purchase, and the amount you get for the price is quite small.

I bought this after hearing it's famous for smudging eyeliner. When swatched on my wrist, it seemed to fade quickly when rubbed, making me worry about its staying power. However, the color payoff is actually intense, making it look natural even as an eyeliner substitute. The pigmentation is incredibly strong. It's a brown shade with subtle green and gold shimmer that sparkles beautifully.

The price is a bit of a letdown. Well, it's NARS after all... Still, it's quite expensive.

It's fantastic for eyeliner and smudging! Now I understand why it's a professional-grade product.

Pairs beautifully with NARS Melrose for a stunning look

The case is a bit difficult to open, might damage your nails

A versatile brown eyeshadow suitable for all skin tones
The subtle gold shimmer looks beautiful even on cool complexions
Fine texture blends seamlessly, perfect for smudging eyeliner

There weren't really any downsides! The color is beautiful and I'm using it regularly.

Hardwired Sheen #Galapagos

This glitter eyeshadow creates a dramatic eye look that sparkles brilliantly from every angle!

It's a bitter chocolate shade with gold flecks. I usually use eyeshadow to draw my eyeliner, and this color is perfect for that technique!

It's become my go-to eyeshadow lately!

It might be better to keep it at home to prevent it from breaking.

Wow! I've never seen a pearl eyeshadow with such intense pigmentation before! It applies smoothly, has great color payoff, and gives a subtle yet luxurious look that's perfect for the inner corner of the eye. However, mine broke while I was carrying it around. It seems to crumble easily if it gets a bit dry... Such a shame!

When using for eyebrows, first apply a slightly darker shade than your usual base. Then, use a tip brush like you would with an eyebrow mascara to brush it through. This creates a beautiful, not too harsh look.

The downside is, of course, the price. I wish they'd offer hot deals like 50% off Christmas sales like they do in the US

Hmm, I'm not thrilled about the single eyeshadow costing over $30, and it feels like the quantity has decreased compared to before the relaunch. However, despite this, Galapagos is still Galapagos. To be honest, while many companies in our country have tried to benchmark this product and release similar ones, they're just imitations - absolutely not the real Galapagos. Galapagos may be expensive, but it's a must-have due to its versatility and beauty. (It's great as a point shadow, for softening eyeliner, and for eyebrows - see the tips section for usage methods). Pros: Intense pigmentation, minimal excess, irreplaceable color and pearl finish, easy to use

* Try using the opposite end of the eyebrow brush to create eyeliner looks.

* Difficult to make corrections once applied.
* Can easily lead to an overly dramatic look if not careful.
* Despite reduced product volume, the price remains high.

* Great alternative to traditional eyeliner.
* Rich, intense color payoff.
* Impressive staying power.

Despite the ample amount, the price point is still a bit disappointing.

Great as an eyeliner alternative and for softening existing eyeliner. When I'm feeling lazy, I use a brush to apply it like eyeliner. Occasionally, applying it above my eyeliner creates an incredibly natural look. While the price is steep, the amount is so generous that I use it daily without worrying about running out.

If you rub your eyes, you'll end up with a glitter party on one side and color separation on the other! It's best to use a good brush for application. Be careful with thick brushes though - if you don't control the amount well, you might end up with some excess fallout.

This eyeshadow seems to last forever! The shimmer is gorgeous, yet it looks so natural when applied. The color payoff is fantastic, making it great for lining as well. It's perfect for creating a smoky eye when blended out. Overall, it's incredibly versatile and a great addition to any makeup collection.

The only downside is... well, it would be nice if it were about $5 cheaper. Although it's an eyeshadow, I'll probably only use it for defining my lash line. Since it's so intense, when I try to use it as an all-over shadow, it looks quite messy on my medium-deep undertone skin.

Wow! Now I understand why everyone's going crazy over this. The pigmentation is incredible, and you get a lot of product for the price. The golden shimmer is absolutely stunning, but surprisingly not overwhelming when applied to the eyes. It's amazing! If you use a liquid eyeliner to create a thin line and then blend it out with Galapagos, it looks absolutely gorgeous.
