The texture and formula
The eyeshadows are nice and very pigmented for the prize. It’s not super pigmented but that’s not what I was looking for in the pallet. It’s very buildable which I do truly like. The product does kick up a lot of powder. But I know this so it’s not that big of a deal to me personally.

From left to right Top row: Nougat, Nubuck, Cappuccino, Honeycomb, Toast, Taupe. Second row: Conker, Moss, Bark, Mineral earth, Regal, Noir.

My thoughts,
This pallet is my everything. I have never had a palette that I rebought and I also never had an everyday routine but I do now. It might be my old age **cough. Or the fact that I like this look for my work and I somehow spend a whole lot of time at that place. I don’t mind that but that’s the reason this look became a thing anyway. I do love it and I couldn’t have picked a better pallet.

The colour and other thoughts
The colours are very nice. I use it as an everyday soft look now a day but back when I was totally cool and actually went clubbing. I used this pallet as my smoky eye make-up look. Which actually looks great on everyone, trust me I tried it on all my friends. It did however take me to my second pallet to discover my love for the colour moss which is my daily now and I can’t do without. The lighter colours in the pallet swatch terrible but actually do show up beautifully on my eyes.

Swatch

Eye swatch

I made a very simple look that I wear daily. I used toast and honeycomb on the eyelid, nubuck and cappuccino in the crease, nougat under the eyebrow and in the inner corner and moss on the lower lash line.
