Target recently came to Canada and SK products sold out fast and I wasn't able to get my hands on any until today and let me say I now know why they sold so fast! I only picked up a palette and a quad but I will be getting more products in a couple weeks unless the shelves are cleared again.
1st review is for the eye on glamour eye couture palette. I adore this palette most of the shades are matte with very very very fine glitter, two shades are completely matte and 4 shades are glittery. They remind me of the urban decay moondust shadows minus the lack of pigmentation. I would say only 2 of the shadows are lacking a bit of pigmentation and feel a tad bit chalky but a great base can fix that. Overall without yet testing wear time and fallout I would give this palette a A- for a first impression.
UPDATE In column one the first to shadows (mint & blue) look stunning but they have a chalky texture and they apply horribly, close to no pigment! The rest of the shadows have a more buttery texture but I would say they were a tad bit powdery so I used a base and I found they didn't apply as nice and I had to blend lightly prevent the color from majorly fading so my FINAL grade is a B+. Its definitely drugstore quality but the colours lean on the high end scheme. For $20 the 2 misses should of been better quality there's no excuses. What would make this palette A+ quality? SK knows how to make gorgeous looking shadows know they need to work on the texture. A better version of them is LORAC, for exampke the LORAC PRO palette was very buttery, highly pigmented and they blended beautifully with no loss of pigmentation and when I use them I do not need a base. I've heard that inglot makes exactly that for the same price as SK so I believe that's her competitor and if she improved the formula she could be even more successful because her eye shadows aren't far from being great quality they just need some tweaking.
Now the next product I'm reviewing is the purple haze eye quad. These glitter shadows feel creamy and once again they seem like a more pigmented version of the urban decay moondust. So for my first impression I will give this quad a A and not a A+ because the white shadow could of been more pigmented. If you can't afford the ud moonshadows I would highly recommend this quad.
