(L-R) coin, crown, ruby, diamond |
As soon as I saw this palette on various Youtuber's snapchat, I knew I needed it, I didn't care how much it would cost to send to Aus, and I didn't care how long it would take.
I got the palette basically as soon as it came on sale, and I didn't expect it to come for about a month- but thanks to UPS not providing me with tracking, it showed up at my door a tiny bit over two weeks previous to ordering it.
My first impression of this palette was that it was beyond gorgeous- however the glitter shades are pretty chunky. This will probably be a major turn off for some, but it's okay with me- it just means you have to apply them with your fingers and really smoosh them on to your eyelid (to put it delicately).
Here's a little list of some pros + cons
PROS

Overall this palette is bomb! And it's finally settled my craving for a metallic cranberry colour (thank god)
THE LOOK:
I'm going to wait until I have the perfect look with The cranberry shade , but I was living for this gold and Amber/orange scenario
1. KVD: Mürher eye shadow to set primer
2. MUG: Creme Brûlée in the crease
3. MUG: Cocoa Bear on the outer V
4. DOC: Crown on the middle + outer eyelid
5.DOC: Coin on the inner portion of the eye
6. Nars Albatross highlighter to highlight very inner corner
7. Inglot #77 gel eyeliner for a nice small wing
8. Toofaced Better Than Sex Mascara on both top and bottom lashes
LIPS:
The lips are nice and pinky to compliment the Fiery tones on the eyes - I originally went with MAC Pure Zen but it seemed too peachy and too matchy
Lined: Revlon lip liner in """
Fill: NYX soft matte lip cream in ""
Thank you for reading! I'll eventually has a look with the cranberry colour in the palette - keep an eye out on my Insta (Chelseadawidowski) for any info
