Anxiously awaiting your review of this palette. I do not own in products in this brand and am curious if this is worth its price tag. It may contain many shadows, but how versatile and usable are they? In my experience, 1 shadow out of each quad I own does not see pan ever so I don’t know how I would do with a palette of 18. (I am guessing 6)

will be disappointed I am. I have cheaper palettes that are much better for example the Anastasia palettes (the last two were much better than this) Modern R and Master Palette by M are way better and they were cheaper in price. Wait until you get yours. I don’t trust finger swatches anymore they may show one thing but when you use the brush it’s another story!

Some of these shadows look amazing but at $215 here in The Great White North, I’ll be hoping that I have multiple dupes for the shades I like best. Electra looks dreadful AND it’s a shade I don’t wear (and there are a few others in that category of “not flattering on me” colours) so I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for dupes (and saving my loonies and twonies for the Estee Edit palette(s)!)

This swatches much better than past ND palettes. There’s a few weak ones here, but everything else looks decent to great, but I’m not paying $170 for a palette, so will be looking for dupes for Spectrum and Cosmo.

YIKES. For such a pricy palette, there should absolutely be zero misses as horrific as whatever is happening with Electra. Earth is also pretty bad and Phoenix underperforms, but Electra alone is enough to turn me off this palette forever.

While I am not opposed to dropping some cash for high end makeup I have zero desire to purchase anything from this line. I like the color story here but $170 for a palette? Not when Anastasia has colors and quality at over half the price. I think I will pass.

Thank you so much for swatching this before the sephora sale! I so so so appreciate it. Definitely not worth the money for me, it’s all much too warm for my tastes. Gonna stick with a viseart palette and another of her cool toned 5-pans. You are a life saver, Christine.

Spectrum is such a gorgeous color. I would consider getting that one in a single, but I remember that her shimmer shades crease a lot? I have a lot of issues with creasing. Aside from that, there are a lot of pretty colors here, but I have no desire to pay that much money for an eyeshadow palette.

I’ve heard this brand has fantastic matte eyeshadows and I was impressed with the swatches until I got to Electra – yikes! A few of the others have a little too much chunky glitter action going on for my taste. Thankfully I’m not longing to own one of these palettes. I definitely couldn’t afford it.

Considering the size of the pan, the price per gram of product is not so bad. But do I want such big pan though? No. I enjoy discovering new formulas and colours and I don’t like being pushed into buying my eyeshadows in bulk when they come in a palette.

At this price tag you really got to love all the colours and be sure to not let the palette rot in a drawer!

The palette would hold twice as less product and be at 80 dollars… I could eventually consider buying it if it reviewed good.

hmm not a fan of these colours, or that price tag haha. gonna look at the review just to find a dupe for Diadem. also this Natasha lady is just a bit shady (and rude) according to The Fancy Face on YouTube.

Some of the duochromes & one or two of the metallics look really nice but the rest did not impress me at all. So far the YouTube review I saw did not give it a high score at all for the money it was a total disappointment.

Tarah Avatar

Wow !!! Love this palette , too bad I can probably find close dupes for all the shades at half the price this palette costs ! Most of which I’m sure I already have in my collection

Betty Avatar

I think this palette could have been smaller, 12 pans at the most, and more selective.
Is it really necessary to include 2 reds in a palette? And a few other colors look similar
or in the same color family as well (at first glance). That way it would be a more affordable price for most and more useful for all.

I like it, but agree that for so much money they all should be perfect. I have a 5 pan purple Natasha Denona palette that I love. Super pigmented and last all day. I’m gonna get something from this brand during Sephora VIB. Might get the 28 pan greeneye shadow palette.

Rhea is screaming my name!!! Thank goddess for Beautylish w/their Flex-Pay thing! This baby is a comin’ tomorrow & I can’t wait!! $56.33 a month for 2 more months isn’t bad. Plus I love her metallics and heard that her new matte formula is amazing. Not too thrilled about the crystal formula, but it’s all good. The pans are huge and I LOVE the way she does these big palettes…although I don’t believe these are removable like in the Green-Brown & Purple-Blue….

I saw a review where there was much fallout with the glittery shades, and praise for an improved formula. It feels as though this brand is still in the growing stages where eyeshadow is concerned. I don’t feel drawn to the brand at this time.

Nicole Avatar

I like this one a lot! Very steep though for shadow. But I’ve wanted a ND for a long time. I’m considering this one as a little gift to myself for Christmas? Is she still only on Beautylish?
