For $20 this is really a steal for the great formula and shades that are in here. If you’re looking for an affordable color palette, I would definitely recommend checking this out. I prefer to apply these glitter shades with my finger. I think the formula helps avoid fallout, but it seems harder to apply. They have a very wet silicone-y feel that feels really smooth, but don’t apply that well on the eyelids. With this palette, the shimmers are consistent with the shimmers in the other Colourpop palettes I own, but I don’t completely love the glitter shades, Blurred Lines and Not Playing. They are not quite as nice – silky and smooth – as some of my favorite mattes from Chanel or Viseart, but they do work for me with little fallout or dragging on my lids. They have a great formula that is pigmented, buildable, and blendable, and I find that they do mattes pretty well. I am continually surprised by Colourpop shadows. I haven’t work the greens and teals too much yet, though I knew I would like this palettes because on the rare occasion that I do wear greens, these are the tones I go for. I have to admit, me being me, I’ve gravitated toward the more neutral shades – the browns, corals, and if I’m feeling frisky, the purples. This palette was part of a gift with purchase during the holidays, and I was really craving some brightness and color in my life at the time, so this was perfect. Would you look at that – I actually have a palette with color this month! I am a completely neutral eyeshadow loving girl, but sometimes, inspiration hits, and I actually start to crave some color. I love the variations in textures and depth, and I can actually get a full look out of all these shades. There are 2 matte shades, 2 mattes with light glitter (that blend out), 3 frosty shimmers, and 2 glitter shades. Formula wise, I find that these are on par with most Korean beauty shadows – they’re a little softer and sheerer than shadows from Western brands, though I do think these have slightly more density and pigment than a lot of Asian formulas. I believe they’re part of a collection of palettes. I had been wanting to try these 3CE palettes for months, and I was so happy to get my hands on this one. While there was some markup on the prices, they day that I went in, they were doing 30% off the whole store, making the prices much closer to what I saw in Asia. They don’t appear to have a website, but the store was packed full of Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese brands alike. I bought this palette upon randomly coming across Ume Cosme, a beauty boutique selling different Asian brands. Like last month’s palette rotation included mini reviews of everything, and since a lot of are these aren’t really new, I’ll do the same for these. This month, I’ve been using and loving these palettes: It also helps me stay focused on using products consistently and and making sure they actually all get used. I love seeing the combinations of shades and trying to work out different looks. You all probably know by now that palettes are some of my favorite makeup products to wear.
