This palette requires a lot of building if you want a smooth look without being overly pigmented. I love a bold look, but I also find that dark eyeshadows can be overbearing and require a lot of blending. These colors will last all day, are packaged beautifully, and apply smoothly. Though you're receiving 5 colors, the pans are very small and run out quickly with regular use. I definitely think it is way too pricey for 5 small pans. I would recommend if you're a lover of lance, and are confident in the colors you're choosing. I think if you're looking to have a smaller palette to test out colors, as well as if you're unsure of what look you want exactly as all colors in the palette are designed to work together you could save money by trying out less expensive products first.

The lancome shadows they are pigmented & very blendable. I only wish they were a little bit larger especially for the $. They are gorgeous, but I find I typically run out of one or two of the smaller shades before the others and then I'm left with the larger pan and not any of the smaller ones. But still a good buy.

I Love the Lancome palettes for when I don't really know what I like and want to get a specific look for the summer or a new look for fall. The only issue I have with it is that I always seem to find a favorite and then run out of that one palette and be left with extra of all the rest. This is good if you want to try new looks and want to find out what you love.

This mini eyeshadow palette is so cute yet so effective. The colors are so pigmented and blend very well together. This palette has the perfect combination of colors to create a stunning purple look. The highlight color is my favorite to stick under the brow bone. 

These 5 pans are so soft and full of colors they are usually a nice mix of matte and shimmer shadows. The best part is that they come with instructions and two small brushes.

I liked this eyeshadow palette. It was very pigmented and easy to blend. I just wish there was more product in it! Super nice ad classy packaging! I just don't find myself reaching for it as much as I do my "bigger" eyeshadow palettes! But I do like how it's travel friendly! So that's a plus!

I have the palette in Golden Frenzy and I really have a love/hate relationship with it.  First of all, my problem is not with the quality of the shadows themselves.  That part is incredible!  The go on so smooth and pigmented.  I over did it with the crease color one time and it blended like heaven!  Even the black "liner" shade could be blended out to perfection.  They are by far the highest quality shadows that I have ever used.  The swatch so beautifully.  I've never seen more breathtaking shadows, especially the brown "lid" color.  That has so much depth and sparkle that I couldn't stop staring at it.  My problem is with basically everything else.  This palette seems to be a kind of mini travel palette that you can throw in your carry-on and it'll be the only eyeshadows that you'll need.  Well, that's wrong.  There is not a single matte shade in the entire palette!  Even the crease color is a satin, which is doable but for $50 I do not want doable; I want great.  It's also not a color I would have chosen as your crease/transition color.  It's a bit darker than what I would have liked.  You would need to buy another palette just to have the mattes you'd need to make up for the lack of mattes in this one. I'm wearing the pink shade as a lid color right now and it is another pretty, satin/shimmer color.  I feel like if you are not very careful applying these shadows, it can turn into a satin/shimmer mess very quickly.  It's just not a palette that you can do an entire look with.  You would NEED something else.  I feel like for the price, that's a major drawback.  If you are telling me that 5 of your shadows are worth more than entire palettes by other brands, at least give me everything I need to make a cohesive look.  I find I only use it when I want that beautiful pop of sparkle on the lid.  I go to my other palettes, otherwise.  Formula wise, these shadows are worth the money.  Practicality wise, I would advise you get something else. 

I love the formula on these eyeshadows! This is a great small little pallet that is perfect for make up on the go or when you quickly want to make up your eyes but don't want to play with a huge eyeshadow palette. The colors are just a perfect combination and there are so many to choose from. The colors have great staying power and blend seamlessly. I always apply eyeshadow primer as it is essential to keeping your shadow looking fresh all day.

The shadow is really soft and pigmented. It feels creamy and is easy to use with minimums fall out. I would use the shimmer on my kids and the dark color to line my eyes and it would last almost the whole day. The packaging is also cute with a slight imprint of a rose.
