My Rating: ?????
(Loved it – Will purchase time & time again).

Pros:

• Great color payoff; very pigmented.
• Huge mirror for the size of the palette.
• Cheap!
• Minimal fallout
• Very minimal shimmer, matte & satin mixture.

Cons:

• Eyeshadow sponge is very flimsy & not useful for me.

My Opinion: I absolutely love this palette. This is my first item from NYX and am very very impressed with the pigmentation it offers and love how smooth and satiny it is. It has minimal fall out which is definitely a plus for me. The colors are perfect for an everyday neutral look. It offers everything you need from highlights, crease, and outer v colors. I have not tried these colors without an eyelid primer so could not tell you if they are long lasting or crease proof without a primer, but i’ve used these both with Urban Decay Potion Primer & Too Faced Shadow Insurance and they’ve lasted me all day through high heat and sweat without a single crease, smudge, or fading. I honestly and persnally like the top left color better than my normal highlight “MAC’s Rice Paper“. Color pick-up is great. You don’t need a lot at all. I just tap my brush in the darkest color to get the color i have for my outer v (seen below). So when i say very pigmented, i really mean it.

As for price wise, it’s super affordable and worth every penny. I plan on purchasing more of these palettes in other colors since it’s super cheap and very good quality.

The palette is small enough to bring with you for travel and touch-ups (honestly you don’t need to if you have a good primer). The mirror is huge, covering the entire top lid of the palette so you don’t have to be to close up to it while applying.

I am NOT a fan of sponge tip applicators, so this applicator is really of no use to me. It seems a little flimsy to and don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing since i never use sponge tip applicators to apply my eyeshadows.

So in conclusion, i highly recommend this palette for anybody looking for a neutral everyday wearable look who isn’t looking for to much shimmer but not matte either. I would most definitely purchase another one of these if i ever run out. I do plan on purchasing more of these palettes in different colors since i am very happy with this purchase. NYX also offers these palettes in other colors, so be sure to check those out as well. Since this is my only one (so far) i can only do a PR on the one. Hope this was helpful.
