Absolutely stunning color. By far my favorite Mac lip color date! BUT it doesn't last 24 hrs on me. Upon initial application I noticed how smooth and buttery the formula was. Dry down took a few minutes and was not as tacky as other long lasting lipsticks I've tried. At this point it truly was kissproof and transfer proof. The only drawback is after a few hours I needed a gloss as my lips became uncomfortably dry. I applied gloss and then I noticed a little bit of transfer. I tried a different brand of gloss and it still started to transfer. So for me it's more like a 7-8 hour wear. I still think it's a lovely product but definitely didn't last on me.

Thia palette worked well for me. I enjoyed the barely there nudes and the pops of bright colors. The shimmer shades worked best with a finger or a wet brush. I used those intense shades for mostly eyeliners. The colors stayed on almost all day with some fade and creasing of the mattes by the end of the day. The sparkles stayed true all day long. Only 4 stars because it's not something I wear everyday.

I bought this on sale just because I wanted to try ND'S formula. The product was highly pigmented and blended well with a little bit of a dusty kickback. The lightest shade didn't show up on my skin but was useful for blending out the deeper shades. I don't think the color story best suited my skin. It wasn't my favorite look. I will probably just use this for parts to fill in some spaces in my other palettes.

I really liked the color story of this palette. These are colors I would only sometimes need when I want to do something a little different. If you mixed the wrong colors it would get muddy quickly. There was a lot of kickback and axis stained my lids. That being said when I chose the right colors and worked with them a little I could really create a beautiful look. I rarely use this as a stand alone palette but will pick a color here and there in addition to my other palettes to fill in a missing color or to add something different. Not the best quality of shadows. Lots of dust and I had to work them a little for a smooth blended look. Not the worst but not the best!
