This is generally a nice palette option for those who like warmer shades — all of the shades apply smoothly and evenly with good colour pay-off and blend easily. Dear Cupcake is the only shade that has a slightly stiffer texture, but it doesn't hinder the application. That having been said, this palette just doesn't seem that exciting to me because MAC has previously released ones with very similar shades, and in fact has plenty of dupes within their permanent range. If you like all six shades here or if you love the packaging (or love Antonio Lopez, or maybe all three), it may be worth getting because it is still a better value than MAC's single eyeshadows. But if you only love a few shades here, I suggest building a custom palette with similar shades instead.
I want Golden Touch on its own. It's so beautiful! *__*
ReplyDeleteDo you have Sweet Satisfaction Pro Longwear Eyeshadow? It's really quite similar. :)
DeleteThis is probably the one set that I would go for out of all the eyeshadow palettes...the rest were totally MEH for me. I do gravitate toward warmer shades though...I should probably break the mold and start switching it up, hey?? :P
ReplyDeleteLol, I think it's time to change it up! This palette is nice, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't entice me like the teal one does. Maybe because I have soooooo many of these types of shades already and MAC continually comes out with palettes similar to this. That having been said, this one is the most wearable of the three... but it's a bit too summery for me right now. :P
