NYX is a great brand with quality products for a reasonable price. I have several products by them and when I saw this palette I was like OMG, I need it.
For around $25 you get 15 eyeshadows PLUS 4 blushes, a bronzer, and two highlighters. I was so hyped up for this palette but unfortunately I was disappointed.
THE EYESHADOWS: These shadows are SO CHALKY. The pigment of them is poor with or without a primer underneath. Once placed on my eyelid, they were invisible. They were also hard to blend and basically useless. As you can see by the swatches, they barely even show up on my hand.

The only upside to this palette are the blushes, highligher, and bronzer. They are actually pretty pigmented! The blushes are really pretty and wearable shades while the bronzer is great for contouring. The two highlighters are also great and very pigmented as well.

This palette definitely has its ups and downs for sure. I'm not a fan of the eyeshadows and don't think I will ever be using them unfortunately. I know NYX has good quality eyeshadows as I've used them before but for some reason they're slacking in this palette. I do like the blushes and have used them quite frequently as well as the bronzer and highlighters. So I guess this palette wasn't a complete waste for me but at the same time it is kind of disappointing!
