* Ginger "Dark"

My Thoughts:
I picked this up because it has a color range that I loved. I really like more natural toned colors but when it comes to purples and olives I become weak. I like to play up my looks with hints of these earthy tones. This palette seemed to have it all. It is a beautiful palette with a crocodile look. It is slim and would be easy to carry when traveling.
The downfall is that the texture of the shadows make it difficult to blend. Even with a light handed blended the color starts to disappear. Instead of the Berry Ice looking like a stunning berry purple on my lids it looked like a washed out ash berry color. I tried using these wet and over MAC Cream Colour base. Nothing worked and I was left with a sheer mess on my lids. That colors look lovely in the case and I had high hopes for this palette. It is really too bad that Estee Lauder did not take the time to create a better texture. I have tried a few other Estee Lauder eyeshadows and they had a much nicer finish.
Since this is a limited edition palette I am not going to link to it since it will probably be removed once it is sold out. You can find it on the site under the eyeshadows section while it is in stock for $25 if you like sheer shadows or you would rather not blend your shadows.
