Formula Overview
$5.25/0.06 oz. - $87.50 Per Ounce
The matte eyeshadows tend to be pigmented (typically semi-opaque or opaque, often buildable if they aren't opaque) with a soft, more velvety texture that has slight slip but isn't so thick that it gets difficult to use, applies unevenly, or has a lot of fallout. I've found that most of the matte eyeshadows apply and blend out without much effort but a few may take a bit more effort to diffuse along the edges. The matte formula tends to wear between eight and eight and a half hours on me.

Top Dupes
- ColourPop Koosh (LE, $6.00) is lighter, warmer (85% similar).
Formula Overview
$6.25/0.06 oz. - $104.17 Per Ounce
The shimmer eyeshadows are more consistent in pigmentation with the majority of shades having opaque color coverage. The more metallic/sparkly the shade is, the creamier and more emollient the eyeshadow felt in the pan, which often yielded really smooth application and good adherence to the lid, though a few worked better with a fingertip or a dampened brush for true-to-pan color or to get a truer finish/sheen.
Most shades, however, worked well with brushes, and I didn't have trouble applying or blending out most of the shimmer shades. The more satin to pearl like finishes tend to feel a little thinner but blend out well. These shades wore between eight and nine hours on me with some of the more foiled-like shades creasing noticeably at the end (and the less foiled-like ones fading).

And if I thought that the Guerlain quads were impressive, these just done blown my socks off!!!
Petrichor used to be listed separately but when I go to it in my wishlist now it gives me an error. Same when I search. Too bad because it’s one of my most-wanted shades from their whole collection.
Oh wow, these are my kinds of shades! Is this bundle still available?
Not right now – they have sometimes put the singles up for sale individually after the month!
Are these Sydney Grace eyeshadows all in the same palette? If so, which one? (Sorry if this is in the info…I’m on my phone and couldn’t find it!) Thanks!
They are in the July bundle, which is no longer up for sale! They have been sometimes putting the singles up individually later on, though.
Got it. Thanks!
Aren’t these just gorgeous? Especially Casseiopeia and Splendid. Love the metallic sheen finishes.
I picked up this bundle during Christmas in July! I sort of forgotten they did these. I went back to look through their FB posts and to see their previous bundles…I totally would’ve bought the Mar bundle too! Mainly because it’s nice to already have a cohesive quint because sometimes I struggle to pair my singles together.
Cassiopeia (may come home), Splendid & Pardoned Completely (odd in pan, but nice outcome) all interest me. Puppy Love seems like a color you should have just because.
Always check the monthly bundles early. They do disappear quickly. This was still available on Temptalia day/Xmas in July. Oh, boy on this bundle.-plus On the Horizon light? And a couple of singles? That was a probably my hardest day ever for no buy. There are some great shades from the Temptalia palettes that have become singles, too.
