- Packaging: The packaging is adorable! From the box it comes in down to the mascara handle and the way the sponge tip applicator matches the palette, this is by far one of the best packaging jobs I've seen! The Snow White decal on the palette itself is printed on there and there's also an "S" and "W" printed on the mascara handle which gives it a beautiful and dainty touch. If you're a makeup collector and love Disney things then I think you'll definitely like this eye collection.
- Pigmentation: I'm so impressed with the pigmentation from the eyeshadows, especially the teal eyeshadow. Whenever I see a teal e/s I'm always hesitant and brace myself to be disappointed because they're rarely pigmented, but I was pleasantly surprise with how pigmented it was. I did apply it in layers because I wanted to make sure the shimmer in it stuck to my lid and to make sure that the color would stand out even after I applied the other e/s.
- Blendability: When it comes to e.l.f.'s e/s I usually run into the problem with blending out the darker colors because they tend to need a little bit more work, but all the colors in this palette blend like a dream and it doesn't take long to blend any harsh lines out.
- Mascara: The mascara that they give is pretty good. I'm surprised that it was able to hold my curl and it didn't transfer. I liked how it wasn't an extremely wet formula nor was it extremely dry; it was definitely a good middle ground. I also love how the wand is on the smaller side, because it makes it easier to coat every single lash, and it doesn't have plastic bristles which I'm definitely appreciative of.
Dislikes:
- Color Choices: I'm not too fond of one of the colors they placed in the palette, which is the teal color. When I see it, I automatically think of Ariel (Little Mermaid). I would've loved to have seen maybe a gold or champagne/rose gold color instead. I've come to grips with the navy blue in there because I do think of navy blue when it comes to snow white, but I think a cobalt blue would've been a fun addition.
- Sponge Tip Applicator: Looking at what came in the eye collection, I wish they would've replaced the sponge tip applicator with something else. The sponge tip applicator could've been placed in the palette itself and it would've been nice to have maybe an eyeliner or an eye brush instead. Considering most people don't even use sponge tip applicators, I think it would've been more beneficial to have something else replace the applicator.
- Finishes: I wish there were different finishes in the palette. It's a combination of shimmery and suede finishes and I would've liked to have the beige e/s be matte instead of shimmery.
Overall:
I really like this collection. I feel like this palette is something that anybody and everybody can use and it can be extremely versatile. If you love to collect makeup just because of packaging, then you would love this collection because it's affordable and with this particular palette, you won't be afraid to use the colors. I do wish that the light beige was a matte finish instead of a shimmery one and I would've also liked to have something else, like an eyeliner or falsies, replace the area where the sponge tip applicator is located.
