so disappointed

I bought this in my Christmas Sephora order along with two other palettes, I figured I’d like it but I really didn’t, I mean it isn’t completely awful but it isn’t great.

I really wasn’t wow’ed by any means by this palette, the colours aren’t what i expected, there is a few pretty ones but the black/grey/white is meh. They’re pretty powdery, very chalky and lots of fall out from what I’ve experienced so far.

I’m glad I only paid $30 (CAD), you’re better off spending an extra $3 and getting an ABH palette or a tarte palette for an extra $7 at full price.

The packaging isn’t awful, the box it come in and the palette itself is a tad boring as far as looks wise, but the pans are pretty large (9 x 0.04 oz) which is 0.01 oz more than the previous Tarte Tease palette I recently reviewed but smaller than the ColourPop Semi Precious one which was 8 x 2.0g (0.07oz) that I also recently reviewed. The mirror is nice, the packaging is fairly sturdy.. It’s not as nice as the tease one, but very similar to the ColourPop Semi Precious except that one doesn’t have a mirror.

They’re all a matte finish, which I love but again the super chalky formula i’m not a fan of. It is a good colour range though. They seem to blend okay, again not as well as the other two but the pigment is there.

I’d rate it about a 3.4, I’m not wow’ed, I’m not in love but the pigment is nice (minus being chalky, can’t stress that enough). The colours aren’t awful, I like the pink purple hues & the packaging is nice, the mirror is big and nice, but it’s rather boring in my opinion it doesn’t quite catch the eye. The price point on sale is nice but I wouldn’t want to pay full price when there is much much better at a similar price point.
