So, two (possibly three at a stretch) shades I’d use and 3 or 4 that are not flattering for me. So NOT a wise purchase. Once again, this is an example of why I so rarely purchase a cheek palette!
I have 50%, so no. But I think that using pre-existing shades is a double edged sword. Mostly negative. Longtime fans will have at least some of the shades and will deselect this. Positive: it might appeal to unfamiliar consumers. The selection covers most bases. It might do well. Might.
As long as the quality is there, I know that this is a cheek palette I would love to have and get heavy usage out of. I think I spy a decent dupe for my much loved, heavily-hit-pan-on UD Rapture, too!
Like Mariella I see two shades I’d use, for me, Devotion and Flirt. I might perhaps be able to use the highlighting shade, but it’s hard to tell from the swatches.
This reminds me of a less saturated version of the NARS Unfiltered I cheek palette a couple of years ago.
