This seems like a cool thing to win ! This offers a lot of shadows and a great variety of colors to chose from. Awesome for beginners and even cooler for mere enthusiasts šŸ™‚

So many of these shadows look gorgeous! I wouldn’t be able to pick one, but I think I would love to do a look with prom queen and full moon romance. Surfin USA looks beautiful, too!

it will be absolutely hard to pick just 1 shade from this palette! i just am so excited that 1 winner will get the whole thing! but if i could pick a tier I’d pick the brights šŸ™‚

Oh oh specific shade… OK well it’s a little tricky bc I’m not sure whether the colors I like best in your photos are the ones I’m picking on the Sephora site (the images just look a bit different on Sephora.com) but Good Fortune Cookie looks lovely… Blonde Ambition, too

I really love all the nudes in the palette!! I actually have more colorful eyeshadows then neutrals so it would be nice to add some more browns to my collection!

Wow, what a contest! I don’t remember the name of the color, but I was looking at these just this morning and there was a shade that was described as gunmetal grey with irridescent sparkle – that sounds like it would be a fun weekend color!

I could see Gril’s Night Out becoming my new lazy day go-to shade for lids. I’ve played witht he singles in my local Sephora store, and I am excited by pretty much all of them, to be honest.

I am mostly excited for the bottom tier (the neutrals)! It would be amazing for everyday! But, it would still give me that great option of switching it up for the first tier! šŸ™‚ ā™„

I’m in love with the bright colours (like banana split and the rich blues and purples) because they’re something I’m seriously lacking in my makeup collection right now.

I really like plum-pinkish-taupe-gray shades and among the range of new sephora eyeshadow I’m particularly interested in the following shades:
NĀ° 46 Flirting Game
NĀ° 44 Romantic Comedy
NĀ° 48 Faux Fur
NĀ° 49 Be On The A-List
NĀ° 68 Satin Corset
I hope that you’ll be able to make a comparison between them all so that I can find the differences and similarity.
Thank you so much for this opportunity, probably we’ll see all these new color within 2-3 months in Italy.

The neutrals all look amazing šŸ™‚ I might buy this even if I dont win, majority of my stash was stolen during a break in a few months back. I need a pick me up soon!

I’m definitely more excited for the 40 neutral shades! I think they would be great for everyday wear, but the brights & colors tier looks amazing & fun to play around with! I would say I like the peachy tones best for an everyday look šŸ™‚

Cassia Avatar

OMG, that yellow is gorgeous !
And the pinks and purple… and basically everything? I only have one palette so those are all new colors and they are beautiful!

I’m definitely more excited for the 40 neutral shades! I love the peachy tones & I think they’re perfect for an everyday neutral that’s a bit different from the norm. The 40 brights & colours would be so fun to play around with though & I am in love with all the greens!

WHOAAA!! Another awesome giveaway!! The entire palette looks amazing. I would love to own the neutral shades, the range is so good. Also, the pale pink on rightmost bottom of the first pan is a color I love. The mint color on the second row, third column is so wow. The leafy green on the 5th row,2nd column also looks rare. Thanks a lot Christine!

Christine this is such an unbelievably difficult question to answer! Both these portfolios reflect the two different types of my personality: Bold, fun, crazy free spirit. And the other, muted, minimal, behind the limelight, sexy (or so I like to think I am haha).
So I’ve decided to dip into the fun side of my soul, and choose ‘Apple Mojito’.
It’s a gorgeous shade, mixed with Midnight Kiss it would look AMAZING with a tan in Summer!
(Not to mention I’ve gone into a crazy phase where I want to buy anything to do with lime green, neon green, chartreuse… Damn it šŸ˜€ )

Too much chit chat! Enjoy reading the comments and good luck picking out a winner, we readers appreciate the effort you put into Temptalia ^_^

So excited about this giveaway! Have heard some really good things about the new formulation of the Sephora eyeshadows, and have been following your reviews faithfully. They seem really good. What a fantastic prize for some lucky lady!! Can only cross my fingers and hope frantically, lol. I have SO many shadows and palettes, although NOTHING compared to yours(!!!), but this would be such a nice addition. Have been eyeing a few of these for my collection, just haven’t had the time to do anything about it yet. Thanks for yet another awesome giveaway, Christine!!

I am most excited for Snakeskin Dress (since I swatched it in store) and for Animal Instinct (which they were out of! It must be pretty gorgeous as it was the only one that was sold out). If I won this, I would just be ecstatic. I may have to break down and join Facebook just so I can have additional chances!

I am sooo excited! You are so generous for holding all these contests! The shadow that appeals to me the most is on the neutrals, it’s the bottom row second from the very right. I think you reviewed that one already, if I don’t win I’ll have to go out and buy that on individually šŸ˜€

Banana split was so impressive . Usually bright colors turn up sheer or chalky . The formula looks great !

I like the neutral tones. Color me surprised! I’ve never had a positive experience with Sephora dry shadows. I couldn’t believe the positive reviews the individual colors were getting! Glad to know this is out performing the ones before it. However, the only way I would ever be able to get this is by winning it! I can’t see plucking down $500! Thanks for the review and the chance to win.

Whoops, posted before reading the full rules. Specifically I’d like to try out Banana Split. Yellow is such an uncommon eyeshadow colour I think it’d be neat to play around with.

I’m obsessed with neutral and matte shades right now since I finally decided what kind of makeup I want to pursue (clean beauty, no-makeup makeup). However, I was recently at Sephora and my jaw hit the ground when I saw all the shimmer and sheen! Flirting Game is a good combination of both – a neutral toned shimmery shade.

I am most excited to try this product as I might find a neutral colour which is near enough my skintone that brightens my eyes (if that makes sense!) lol like how Caramel Sundae from the quad in Archies girl looked on you!

I’m really excited for the far top right shade in the colorful palette (first photo). You can never have too many pink champagne shades. I’m also really excited for the deep navy blue – it looks extremely pigmented. Great for a unique smokey eye that’s work-safe.

I’m most interested in the eyeshadow in the second row from the left, second from the bottom. I couldn’t tell what it is online, Cashmere Coat maybe? It looks like a lovely cool-toned brown.

šŸ˜› With such a variety I don’t think I can really choose one shade that I’m excited for, but that’s the thing about a palette: the variety itself is what’s exciting. Either way, I’m definitely interested to see how the various shades work. Thanks for putting together such a tempting giveaway.
