I have used this palette four times so far, and I am not too impressed with it. It isn't a bad palette, but I have tried better shadows from Wet n Wild and other budget friendly brands. The pigment is okay, but it isn't great. Applying a good primer or base underneath helps a lot. These shadows, especially the shimmery ones, are more sheer. The mattes are a bit patchy and can be a slight challenge to work with. The texture is pretty good. It isn't the smoothest. There is some graininess, even in the matte shadows. This is not a palette you reed to run out and buy by any means.
They did wear pretty well, though. I noticed some minor fading and creasing, but it wasn't bad at all. I haven't had any issues with fallout, either. I did do a pretty, soft pink look with this palette that would be great for Valentines Day. I would like to do an FOTD post for it, but right now I am not sure if I will get it done in time. Per usual, there is a lot going on right now.
I did find these at Wal-Mart and they were $5.62. Weird price, right? I may get one of the other palettes if they happen to be in stock when I go back just to make comparisons.
That's it for now. I just wanted to do a quick post about this palette in case you were thinking about getting it or maybe didn't know of its existence.
See you soon!
