   Daydream [ballet pink matte], Cloud [ice white shimmer], Mystical [lavender shimmer], Ambition [medium blue matte], Silver lining [silver shimmer], Fantasy [medium pink shimmer], Skylight [turquoise matte], Bubble [plum matte], Imagine [white matte], Sunshine [yolk yellow matte], Dreamy [bubblegum pink matte], Aspiration [mauve matte], Star Gaze [lilac/grey shimmer], Visualize [pastel blue shimmer], Clarity [baby blue matte] and Wishes [blackened purple with pink shimmer].

   My experiences with the Dream With A Vision palette has been a mixed bag; the shimmers are great, and all but one of the pressed pigments [the shade names with a * on the back of the palette are classed as pressed pigments] are good too, but there’s been a bit of powdery mess and patchiness with some of the matte shadow shades. Realistically speaking, I had expected to find a palette full of white-based shades to contain inconsistent formulas, but I still couldn’t help but be a bit disappointed by things, since my experience with my first Obsession shadow palette [x Belle Jorden] was so positive.

   The formulas for the shimmer finishes are definitely the strong points in this palette in terms of pigment, buttery smoothness and long wear, and the Ambition & Bubble pigments are also particular standouts for being great to work with. As I said above, the shadow shades stood out for being more powdery and thin, but they do still work nicely – they just need a bit more work to build them up, which at this lower price-point, shouldn’t really be a surprise.

   I wouldn’t describe any of the shades as outright fails; for instance the lightest pastel shades [Daydream & Clarity] aren’t very good for
   placing/packing as lid or crease shades, but they are good to use for blending out the more vivid pink and blue shades. The white matte is also sheer, but most of us would only use it as a base or browbone highlighter anyway, so that’s not a negative for most people.

   Dream With A Vision isn’t as ‘wow’ in quality as I found the other Obsession eyeshadow palette I have, but with 14 out of 16 shades being either great or satisfactory and the other 2 being workable in some forms, I have no firm complaints about this palette and I think that if the shades appeal to you, then Dream With A Vision will make a pleasant addition to your collection. However there is something holding me back from saying that you have to go track this palette down; I don’t really know why, as I’ve liked the looks I’ve done with it and the formulas wear well, but there is something indefinable stopping me from truly enjoying this.
