I nearly had a heart attack when I spied these at my local CVS. My store never has anything new or LE. These Holiday 2013 shadow palettes are the first thing new they've had in I don't know how long. I snatched this one up immediately.
I wore a look with this palette the other day, and I loved how the colors blended. I used the gold shade in the middle as an all-over lid color, and added a little purple in the outer third and into the crease. Then I added just a touch of the pink shimmer to the socket. Over Too Faced Shadow Insurance, they wore beautifully. Not one crease after 10 hours, and minimal fading. I wish I had taken a picture! (how unlike me!)
I did a quick-and-dirty swatch on my arm. I used the sponge applicator, and no primer/base. I'd say it's fairly impressive for a single swipe on bare skin. I am most excited about that matte-ish hunter green. (The package says it's matte, and it looks pretty matte on the skin, but you can see a bit of shimmer in the pan.) As a green-eyed person, I can tell you that good dark greens are hard to find for a good price. If you see this palette, I highly suggest picking it up. The colors are very wearable, and wonderfully pigmented.
