   The first time I actually laid my eyes on this palette because of the packaging looks like. And I actually like the colors this palette offers, so I decided to buy it.

   First, I got it, I actually pretty surprised about the size of the pan (since I compare it with my daily palette, the Klara Cosmetic’s) since it is rather smaller than the one I usually use. The color is amazing, I love the metallic colors especially squizzle, starshine and butterscotch. I actually use squizzle for highlights a few times – because daamn it is very pretty.

   The twilight (metallic black) one is actually not really pretty like I imagined. It is a bit chalky and not blending nicely, but black eyeshadow can be pretty tricky, so yea.

   Overall, this eyeshadow palette is pretty worth-it since it stays and pretty blend-able. I only use concealer as eye primer. But if you want a natural look, you might need help from other natural palette (mine’s favorite is Klara Cosmetics Pro Eyeshadow No 1 Palette). Hope this review helps!

   This is definitely not one of my favorites. I am not big on bright colors and most of them were not ones that I would use.

   The My Little Pony palette is part of Colourpop’s ‘My Little Pony’ collection of eyeshadows, highlighters, lip glosses, liquid lipsticks and makeup brushes. The palette contains 12 shades of eyeshadow, in four different finishes; Butterscotch [white with subtle pink violet opalescent sheen], Blossom [metallic peach with pink and gold duochrome finish], Starshine [metallic golden tangerine], Bluebell [satin golden ivory], Applejack [matte dusty red violet], Skydancer [metallic bright icy lavender], Minty [matte cool-toned fuchsia], Flutterbye [matte true pastel peach], Twilight [satin deep blackened violet], Firefly [metallic silvery baby blue], Snuzzle [metallic icy white with opalescent blue duochrome] and Princess Sparkle [metallic rich smokey turquoise].

   You can technically make a variety of complete-look-in-one-palette looks with this palette, although the small number of matte shades means that I do prefer to use some matte shades from another palette alongside this one [the shade selections in the KvD MetalMatte & Pastel Goth palettes are perfect]. I also been known to use one of the lighter metallic shades as a cheekbone highlight and the matte peach shade Flutterbye makes a pretty good blush on my skintone, so this palette makes a great three-in-one product that is perfect to take whilst traveling.

   There are only three true matte shades in this palette and two of them aren’t hugely different, which is slightly disappointing. The metallic shades and the satiny shades in the top row are also similar pairs once applied and blended, so it’s a bit of a waste – totally different colours could have gone in their places, such as more matte shades. There is some fallout with the shadows, but that has never been a problem for me so long as the shadows apply and wear well, which these do. The shadow pans are smaller then Colourpop’s single shadows, but that is reflected in the cost ($16 for 12 pans, versus $4 per individual shadow).

   I’ll buy this again if I lost as as most of the metallic shades are unique to me and the price is low enough to excuse the fact that I ignore some of the shades. However I’m not totally happy with the My Little Pony palette the way I am with my other Colourpop palettes; this is not a complete-look-in-one palette for ‘everyday’ looks as there is only one more toned-down matte shade in the palette – there’s no unwritten rule that every eyeshadow palette has to be a one-and-done deal, but I’d just prefer not having to waste time when getting ready, by having to root through several palettes and singles to look for complementary base, highlight and crease and/or transition shades, whenever I want to wear shades from this palette.
