They are more crappy if I do say so myself.

I don't own any of the eye shadows individually so I can't compare whether the shadow in the palette is equal or lesser quality than that of the individual but from what I do have in the individual shadows and pro long wear eyeshadows, the quality of these palette shadows are not on par.

There is a lot of fall-out from the shadows when I go in with my Tom Ford Eyeshadow Blend Brush and my MAC 217. I have had it for a week and I'm sad to say I've only used it twice and four our of the fifteen colours. Did I press too hard? Did I swirl my finger in it too many times? If so, that's only because the pigmentation is not as strong as it ought to be. Maybe I'm used to the likes of Tom Ford and Charlotte Tilburry that I've become an eyeshadow texture snob? During the swatches, I've noticed some of the Veluxe Pearl and Frost finish shades already have that dreaded hard top on the shadows. I will need to use another eyeshadow or palette in conjunction with this one. Which means this cannot be a "complete" palette for me even though it contains 15 colours. Nothing to use as a transitional crease blending shade.

But the most disappointing thing for me was that there was no mid toned matte browns. Non of the colours particularly jumped out to say "HI! I'M YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND!" and the high shimmer shades looked extremely dry. Upon first feel, the packaging feels light and hollow. The swatches are closer to real colour payoff. The lighting did wash out the colours a little. So I saved a lot of money that could've been potentially robbed by spent in MAC Australia but don't let my excitement there confuse you about how I actually feel about this palette. It sells for US$100 in USA and wouldn't this be a perfect time to dip my toes in and check out a mail forwarding service? YES! So when this came out at an incredible $250, I thought I was getting a bargain. Uh.no, I'll be taking that kinda cash to Tom Ford thanks. A self-designed palette racks up to be $435. So I'm always reluctant to create my ultimate 15 pan palette as I already have some of the shades and most of the time that i do see something I like, "oooo-aaaah", pick it up and it's.oh.got that already.Īlso the fact that MAC in Australia is about 2.5X the amount it costs in USA makes me cringe about creating a palette. Someone has made a palette for me.Īlmost every time I go to a MAC counter, I come home with something new, so over the years I've bought an eyeshadow here, a pan there, a pro long wear shadow in that shopping centre, an eyeshadow quad in this shopping centre.

They are always so eccentric and out there with their intense makeup, sometimes crazy hair colours/style and their lack of ability to pinpoint exactly what you want because there is just so much damn product! So when this palette was released early this year, it was like a ray of light shining through a break in the clouds.

And to be honest, I'm always a little afraid of the MAC BA's. Everytime I walk into MAC I am overwhelmed with excitement yet intimidated by all the rows of colorful little orphans pleading for me to bring them home with me.
