Color story is nice. Quality of WnW shadows are better than these at a fraction of the price. Not impressed.

After 1 year of weekly use I can say that the quality of this palette overall falls somewhere in the middle. I don't think it's amazing, but it's mostly easy to work with and lasts well throughout the day. The mattes are quite chalky to the touch but perform nicely on the eye and are easily buildable and blendable. The shimmers are mostly chonky and have fall out through the day. The color story in the pans is quite nice, it looses quite a bit of variation on the eye though. Shades #3 and #8 are basically dupes, the only difference is that shade #8 shows up as a more vibrant version of shade #3 and it's useless in terms of deepening up the look if paired with shade #3. The shimmers #6 and #9 are technically two very different shimmers, but once they are on the eye together you can barely tell them apart. Shade #2 is also barely distinguishable if paired with shade #6. Shade #4 pulls so orangey that it almost dupes shade #2, there are only slight textural differences. The stand out shades to me are the 3 in the bottom row. The brown is very rich with a slight hint of purple and fits perfectly all the other shades as a deepening shade. The brick red matte next to it is possibly the best matte in the palette. It's creamier and very easy to build up or blend out. The shimmer shade is just very versatile and easy to incorporate, also the slight duochrome effect is a big plus. In terms of versatility there is nothing much one can do besides going full orange, or rosy-orange
