Some of the mattes are on the sheerer side, but they apply well with brushes like MAC's 217. Furthermore, the majority of the shadows apply with full pigment when I use my fingertips.

Even myself who prefers high end products am just too turned off by the aesthetics of the packaging and the price is too much for me to take the plunge. I congratulate her on her endeavor and respect her entrepreneurship, however her products just don't appeal to me at all.. Charlotte Tillburys new line, however has me intrigued and willing to buy first hand sight unseen.

Seeing the colors from each "circle" swatched side-by-side makes it so easy to imagine how the colors will work together. As I mentioned when you reviewed the other palette, I have some young nieces who will love these for the holidays. You're making my gift shopping very easy :-)Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-89476820563149236482013-09-30T06:03:49.627-07:002013-09-30T06:03:49.627-07:00The photos are great and the reviews are detailed....The photos are great and the reviews are detailed.

People have different tastes and thoughts about makeup, and we all have varying levels of application technique and experience with cosmetics. I swatch everything on my blog the same exact way. I used a consistent number of swipes (not a TON as you would like to think) to swatch the Koh Gen Do palettes I most recently reviewed, and THOSE are truly sheer eyeshadows. Does that mean there isn't a market for that kind of product? No. Besides, my favorite eyeshadow palettes are by Tom Ford, which cost $78 for 4 shades while each of em's Life Palettes are priced at $75 and come with over 30 products. Based on that train of thought, of course I think this Life Palette is a steal. I recommend trying it for yourself and providing your own feedback before dismissing the product based on assumptions.RAEviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987230952593853380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-32014428334401349762013-09-29T15:22:20.884-07:002013-09-29T15:22:20.884-07:00wow great pictures :Owow great pictures :OJayyangghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14779200527523578377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-26298996839433696962013-09-29T12:35:23.777-07:002013-09-29T12:35:23.777-07:00this review seems so fake iv'e seen swatches o...this review seems so fake iv'e seen swatches of the life pallet on YouTube and the colours are never that opaque, you've clearly swatched them a TON of times becasue the swatch is a perfect rectangular shape.sorry but i can't tolerate somebody who lies about things like this. don't you feel guilty that people are spending their hard earn cash on something which is a waste of money because you lied and said it was worth the price?missawesomenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683010907840947037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-87057064243186078792013-09-28T14:25:10.869-07:002013-09-28T14:25:10.869-07:00Maybe I'm the only one, but I was disappointed...Maybe I'm the only one, but I was disappointed by this product. Judging by the reviews I read, which happened to be mostly from youtubers or bloggers that were sent the items, I thought the eyeshadows were going to be quite pigmented. However, I've found that that's not the case. They felt quite chalky to me and didn't swatch very well. I thought perhaps they would fare better once on the eyes, but the pay off was still not there. Maybe I'm spoiled by the higher end eyeshadows, but even NYX and Wet 'n Wild make cheap eyeshadows that are super pigmented.. so yeah this product wasn't worth the money at all to me.

I think I would definitely prefer the one you reviewed first (blanking out on the name). Thank you for your extensive review. I can't believe you reviewed 3 life palates. That is crazy. I am leaning towards putting a life palate in my never ending "to buy list". It just looks so much fun, especially with the little travel size thingy that I can buy.
