I wasn’t planning to do a review on this one but this palette impressed me a lot. I don’t have the first palette so I couldn’t compare the formulation of that one to this. First of all this palette is huge and is packed with mattes and shimmer shades. This has the 11 original shades from the previous palette and 10 new shades created for this palette. This comes in a cardboard packaging with a mirror. There are 15 shadow shades and 6 highlighter shades. This has a total of 36 g/1.28 oz. This costs $22.50 in the US. I got mine from @yourmakeupstoreph (instagram). I forgot how much I bought this but its less than P2000.
The shadows are so buttery and creamy. It’s like working with a high end palette. They are so easy to blend although they are a bit powdery thus having some kick back so you better tap that brush off to avoid fall outs. The mattes perform really well. They blend easily and the pigmentation is good. The shimmers can be built or you could use a setting spray to amplify the performance of the shimmers but they have great pigmentation on their own. The duo chromatic shadows are so beautiful! They’re my favorites! The cream/bone color lifts the brows really well. There are great transitions shades. The colors look so beautiful on the eye lids and they have good staying power especially when you have a good primer underneath. This palette is more for spring looks/date looks.

The highlighters are so bomb! They are so freaking pigmented! They are almost the same as the ABH and Becca highlights. Although, those are a bit more softer and smoother and are not as powdery as these. The the bigger highlight pan shades are a bit subtle than the rest. They are still pigmented but not as poppin’ as the rest. My favorite combination is the peachy one topped with the white one. They definitely give my cheeks some poppin’ color. The two deep shades will look beautiful for darker skintones.

Overall this palette is awesome! I use this for my daily looks and I love it! Although this leans more to the spring time looks I still love it! And for the price it is so worth it. They swatch and perform well. It’s still available so I suggest you get your hands on this because it really is good.
