So i finally caved and bought this palette because i really liked the way the swatches looked on the website along with the looks Pony uploaded on the Memebox Youtube page.
First off the outer box is really cute with a galaxy theme and futher information stating the shades and the ingredients which is very useful for some people.
Now for the actual palette it's quite simple and sleek along is a sticker with shades and the expiration date.
Now the important part which is the actual contents of the palette. This palette comes with 8 shadows a full sized mirror and a brush/sponge applicator. I did not take a picture of the mirror because it would flash back.
As for the shadows... I was actually quite disappointed with the shadows and the reasons are:
1. Pigmentation
First of i knew these weren't going to be super pigmented when i purchased them since most korean shadows aren't extremely pigmented but the ones i own are definitely way more pigmented with 1 swipe than these.
You can see the poor pigmentation in these swatched i made above, these swatches took 2 swipes each without a primer.
2. Glitter fall-out
I used these on my eye with a primer (i always wear primer) and the glitter ended up all over my cheeks throughout the day.
3. Grip on the brush
The final issue with these shadows is that they are hard to pick up with a brush so i recommend you to use this with your fingers.
I tried to use the with a mixing agent with the shadows but they did not want to be picked up by my brush either synthetic or natural.
At this point you probably think i hate this palette but that's not the case there are some good thing about the palette and those are:
1. Blendability
Once you get the color to stick on your eyelids, they blend together nicely.
2. Color range
The colors in this palette are very neutral and good for everyday wear along with one purple as a pop of color.
3. Portability
The size of this palette is smaller than my mobile phone so it's fits nicely in my makeup bag or even my purse and since it has a mirror and brush/applicator, i can easily carry just this palette and a lip color and that's all i need to touch up.
Now as for my final thoughts on this palette is that this is for people that enjoy natural and not super noticeable shadow looks.
As for me, i would not pick this over any of the palettes i own so i really feel like i've wasted my money by purchasing this palette.
I will probably end up giving it away or try to use it with a glitter primer and see how it goes.
That's the end of my review i hope it helped you make a decision on whether to purchase the palette or not.
Thanks for reading, see you in my next post (^0^)/
