I have to admit that I was not expecting the shadows to be that difficult to work with. The formula was a bit too hard for my liking to use as a main eye shadow and losing pigmentation was a bit of a disappointment. I did like the colours that were chosen to create the palette as the focus wasn’t just on neutrals, but on adding some drama to your winter eye look. The brushes provided are of amazing quality and will be brushes that I intend on keeping. This palette is wonderful for shimmer and providing a “smoky sparkle” to your makeup look so if that’s something you’ve been looking for, then definitely consider this palette!
