I am late on reviewing this, but that's because I was late getting it! I originally wasn't going to - I kept telling myself I didn't need another big palette, especially with Naked 3 on the way. But my wonderful husband told me to get it last time we went to Sephora (his idea, not mine - I was just at the mall to get Rose Jam showergel from LUSH!) so I went for it.
The first thing you notice about this palette is its gorgeous packaging. It has a button to pop the lid open and it actually stays open instead of laying flat - it just looks neat in general.
There are 20 brand new shadows in here and a great array of colors, though most have shimmer/glitter. If you're more of a matte person, you may want to stay away from this one!
It comes with a double ended brush as most of their palettes do - I've never been a fan of their brushes but this one is decent.
One end is a fluffy shadow brush, the other is a crease/blending brush which isn't fluffy enough to use as a blending brush for my preferences, but works well for applying color in the crease.
Now for the shadows! First is Smokeout:
This is a dark taupey black satin.
Lovesick:
Matte black with iridescent micro glitter. This one is the least pigmented in the palette and actually lighter than Smokeout.
Shellshock:
Bright metallic silver. Total aluminum foil effect!
Coax:
Medium metallic pink with gold iridescence. This is a pretty unique pink, as far as my shadow collection goes anyway!
X-Rated:
Baby pink satin.
Prank:
Matte deep navy blue with turquoise micro glitter. This is so awesome with a blue smokey eye.
Madness:
Bright metallic blue with blue micro glitter. Another awesome blue in this palette.
Strike:
Antique gold shimmer with silver micro glitter. More on the yellow-gold side, perfect for the holidays coming up!
Stash:
Olive green shimmer with iridescent micro sparkles. One of my favorites in the palette.
Poison:
Charcoal satin with iridescent micro sparkles. In some lights this looks like it almost has a maroon shimmer to it. Very cool color.
Radar:
Metallic brown with iridescent micro glitter. This one looks chunky, but it's actually nice and smooth and doesn't have crazy fallout like the old chunky glitters did.
Damaged:
Bright metallic emerald. Another awesome holiday color!
Voodoo:
Metallic purple with iridescent purple micro glitter. This one has a similar texture to Radar where it looks chunky but isn't. This is a favorite of mine!
Betrayal:
Bright purple satin with blue shift. This color is amazing and yet another favorite of mine from the palette!
Derailed:
Medium metallic taupey-brown shimmer. One of the few neutral shades here.
Dope:
Warm satin champagne. Makes a nice highlight.
Toxic:
Metallic copper-pink. This is another unique color, not something you see too much of.
Habit:
Matte light nude. So glad they included this because I always love when a big palette includes a nude for highlighting/blending out other shades.
Ambush:
Metallic brown satin. This one almost has bit of a red tone to it.
Rewind:
Matte medium brown. This one is darker than it looks in the pan. I've found it to be a perfect transition color.
All in all, I absolutely love this palette and am glad I finally got it. I'll go ahead and say this should be on everyone's holiday wish list!
