So there has been a big hype around this product for the last while, and of course I was dying to get my hand on it. So many times I unsuccessfully tried to order it from the crown website but it always seemed to be sold out. In my desperation I put myself onto the waiting list and finally the day came where I could order it. It works out at €21.32 and delivery is like five euro on top of that so it is quite pricey. I had no troubles with the website it is very reliable one for anyone interested in ordering from it.
So the big question..Was it worth it? my immediate and honest answer..not really.
Don't get me wrong this is a great palette to have in your kit if your a makeup artist or someone who does a lot of there friends makeup. I always found it great when doing friends makeup because there is a lot of colours to mix and match to find a contour and highlight to suit their skin tone. However, for all my much paler ladies this palette isn't really the one for you as the light shades don't really go that light.
I am not completely dissing this product, in fact I use this product anytime I am contouring. It really does its job but I wouldn't be rushing out too buy it again anytime soon. If I were you and was thinking of buying it I wouldn't and Instead I would just go into mac or any of your favorite makeup counters and get them to match up with one cream concealer 3 shades lighter and one 2-3 shades darker than your skin tone. Unless your a makeup artist there is really no need to buy this pallet. If your worried about your highlighter/contour lasting you throughout the year when your skin gets lighter in the winter just mix a little of your light shade concealer into your darker one and you should be good to go.
So, overall this product is a good product maybe just a tiny bit drying on the skin but overall the product really works for me. I do not regret buying this because I would do a lot of other peoples makeup and it comes in handy then. But like I said above there is no need just to follow the hype like myself! Find what works for you. It would probably work out just as cheap if not cheaper to buy two good cream concealers which are prefect for you rather than having loads of colours that you don't know what to do with. That is just my opinion on things, you might have the palette and love it. Like I said I would use it everyday but when my two shades of highlight and contour are gone I could mix around some more colours in the palette to make another two suitable colours. But more than likely I will just go and find two prefect shades for me in mac. No fuss.
Well, I hope that helped making your mind up on buying this product. Just give what I said a think before jumping onto the band wagon!
