   This has to be my very favorite eyeshadow palette in my collection, and I have a lot! You know when you see a gorgeous palette and think “Do I reaaalllyyy need that in my life?” Yes. Yes you do. I bought this after I purchased the Nars Loaded palette because I was impressed with the pigmentation and texture of that palette- and I actually use this one more. First off, again, as with all Nars eyeshadows they are top notch. Super pigmented, gorgeous colors, finely milled. So many surprisingly wearable colors as well, even though you wouldn’t think so. The standouts for me are: Seven Heaven (creamy light brown) Shadow Hill ( a medium warm terra-cotta Brown) LaLa (medium-dark shimmery Brown) and recently I just discovered Mendoza which looks scary in the pan but is freaking gorgeous and very wearable. In the pan it looks like a brighter rose gold with pink sparkles, but on the eyes it’s a light brown with fine rose gold shimmer and so beautiful. Love love love.

   I drooled over this pallet! I had seen it reviewed on Temptalia before it’s release and was just enamored with it. I wanted it SO bad. With it’s $60.00 price tag I calked it up as something that i woudl just never own. My heart sank, but I accepted it. I would look at it from time to time admiring it’s rose gold shades, and lovely glitter pans – but again, I knew that it was out of my range.
   Well low and behold a few months go by and I had an opportunity to purchase it, and I did! I anxiously awaited for it to arrive from Sephora. The only problem was when it arrived, I was quite surprised at the size of it, and the colors just weren’t what I expected. I tried applying it on three different occasions – but I just wasn’t impressed, the mattes really did go on like a dream, but the glitter shades? Not so much. Not anything like I would have expected. So, after much debate – I retruned it. That is a lot of money for an eyeshadow palette that you aren’t sure about. I had received one from Morphe just the week prior that was hands down much better quality, at a fraction of the price.

   Just becaise something is highend doens’t mean it’s always great quality. Everything varies, boy this NARS product did. I was shocked – but NARS as a whole most always delievers. It just didn’t this time.

   I lusted over this for a while and then Sephora had the VIB sale. I quickly put in on my Xmas list. My sister ended up buying for me but missed the sale.However I must say this is worth full price. All the colors are smooth and easy to apply. Even the metallic has Zero fall out ladies. It wears for hours and even after I dozed off it did Not crease. One of the best pallets ever by Nars and I love their products.I also love on the Nars site you can watch video of artist applying to the model.I first bought the Colour Pop Polite AF and even with glitter primer still major fall out.You get what you par for in this case. The colors are suitable for a wide variety of complexions.It also is suitable for us ladies over 35,40 years old as it does Not add years around the eye area or settle in lines.

   A pretty palette with shades mainly of pinks, shades of cream, brown, champagne and copper, and a matte deep brown that is complementing to the color scheme. It’s similar in flavor to designer name 2017 warm palettes but does not have any peach/orange/terracotta AT ALL – this is a true warm pink palette. The closest I have is the Clinique pink chocolate quad or the Tarte tartelette flirt or maneater. There are a few shades in this that show up in “terracotta” palettes such as the Tarte tartelette toasted, Urban Decay naked heat, or ABH MR, with ABH MR having the most pink similarities.
   The palette itself is made of a sturdy plastic with a full-sized mirror and instead of a mirrored outer lid, the graphics are printed on. It is smaller in size than the Nars loaded, yet it has the same amount of product. To give a better idea of its size, the outer box of the wanted palette is the same size as the loaded palette without a box (I am storing my wanted palette in its box because of this as I like how it looks in my mu drawer). A few YouTube reviewers mentioned difficulty in opening it the first few times, and I agree it is tricky, so use caution so nothing bad happens (like dropping it).
   The first time I opened it I accidentally got a finger in shade “fallen star”, the antique bronze shade so i swiped it on my inner arm. All of the color transferred from my finger onto my arm and it was almost like transferring a sticker – no fallout whatsoever. I have no idea if it’s supposed to be the same formula as the loaded palette, Nars boasts the wanted formula to be “all-new pure pigment”, but the few times I have used it, it applies similar in that I feel I can touch the pan, dab a little, blend a little, and get a good look that only looks better as the day goes on. I did not get any fallout when applying (I tapped off extra from the brush) and had no creasing or shifting of any shimmer particles. I had a little issue with my primer on the first go, I use smashbox 24 hour and I was sloppy putting it on, which caused my shadow to grab in places and apply funny. Another application attempt of just shadow over my foundation proved successful, but I didn’t get into the super shimmery shades that day.
   Overall I really like this palette, I feel it’s a welcome offering of true pink in a sea of warm orange/terracotta toned palettes. I have blue-grey eyes and the orange tones look nice, but is a little hard to pull off sometimes, so I declare the wanted palette to be a “grown up” warm palette, just like I describe the loaded palette, yet there’s those glitters that give some dazzle without looking like a unicorn smashed into my face. The only downfall is it being a bit more expensive than above mentioned similar palettes.
