EXPERIENCE
I am very happy with this palette, the color pay off was very nice, it was so pigmented however, the colors in the palette are out of my comfort zone so I'm still trying to practice to come up with a look that would be suitable for me. Also, the colors are perfect for any skin tone. I'm just hoping that there were more mattes included in the pallete for a more day look but the colors are very much blendable and easy to work with. I am happy with the metallics because it doesn't fall out as much as other palettes do which is perfect most especially when you have less time to do your make up. For the price, I am immensely okay with it because it's not too expensive and it's not too cheap for the packaging and pigments I must say it's definitely WORTH IT ♥
