Game of Thrones

Ignoring the clunky packaging, I really enjoyed this palette. The color story actually offers a lot of interesting looks, pigmentation is buildable, they blend & wear nicely and some of the shades will also work as a cheek highlight.There are only three true mattes in here (Nymeria, House Lannister & Lannister Red), however Take the Black buffs out pretty matte and Weirwood Leaves has a nice satin finish that blends out well in the crease.As for the transformer shades, Winterfell is a gorgeous gold, but the three other shades had a chunkier glitter finish.I'm really happy with the palette. Frozen North, Weirwood Leaves, Winterfell & Bend the Knee are my favorite shades in here.

I am trying to accept that the horrible, heavy, bulky, goofy packaging just had to be there because of the theme but I hate it. Also, there's really no way at all that I can rationalize buying this - it was a totally irrational purchase. There are 2 or 3 colours I don't like at all and a few other which I love in terms of their shade but which are gritty, dreadful glitter-bombs (Winterfell, I am SO looking at you! I would have loved you if you'd been an actual wearable eyeshadow rather than pressed glitter that feels like sandpaper!) So, there's lots for me to kvetch about in this palette but there are some shadows that are so beautiful that I am more than happy to have this palette. Winter is Here (why the name change from the phrase we all love and which Sean Bean refuses to utter in Wasted!), Casterly Rock, Frozen North and Dothraki are all beautiful shades and Weirwood is a colour I didn't think I'd be able to wear but I was wrong. Nymeria, which looked really ugly to me, is actually one of those perfect shades for subtly defining or blending out a crease (reminds me of UD's Tyranny from the Pulp Fiction palette years ago.
