Hmmm, I wonder if all of the NPs in this collection are going to be shimmery/frosty. If so it'll be a skip for me.

I really do think it's, in part, the lack of primer rearing its problematic head again. I compare her eye to the eye I did and it's like...not the same palette. And believe me I have no magical skills when it comes to eyeshadow application. I mean were some of the shades powdery? Sure. But they are certainly workable. And I remember you telling me how much you loved it even before I tried it! Very unfortunate the palette was represented in a better light, I think.I have this too Lauren and I really like it!Granted I have always used it over a primer but I can honestly say the outcome isnt how it looks like on T!!!

I think the palette works best with a sponge brush to minimize fall outs. I like wearing it too. I gave it a B- rating.

Oh interesting! Hadn't thought to try it with a sponge, but I could definitely see that helping. I think B- is fair, given the powdery nature and tendency for fall out. Much more reasonable than F!

Chanel just seems to be on T's crap list. It's really hard to take the reviews seriously after awhile. Not to mention her lighting is way OFF and her swatches are always way too light on everything. That being said, I wasn't a fan of this palette. I swatched it and it really was patchy, dry with very little color pay off. But an F? No.

I remember she trashed one of the chanel quads and I never bought it because of her review. Long long time after I bough it because I fell in love with it when i tried at the counter. It was super pigmented . There was nothing wrong with the quad

That's the bad thing! She is so popular and a lot of people rely solely on her reviews and miss out on a lot of great products. I know I missed one very good LE MAC product (I don't remember which one) a few years ago because of her bad review and when it was sold out everywhere I found out that everyone else loves it! I went through the comments of the palette's review and I'm 100% sure that none of these people would even bother to swatch it, if they see it. And although this palette in particular is not something amazing, some other products with bad ratings are.she is full of s....

Eeeeeeeeeeeek. I don't really know what to say about that photo except LOL! She does a lot, lot, lot of work for beauty consumers but I've learned to take her reviews with a grain (or mound lol) of salt. Though her eye looks rarely urge me to buy products. It's usually everyone's opinions on here that sway me!!she is full of s....

I have it too Vee. Have not yet worn it but I'm eager to because even with my limited skills I can construct an eye look that would easily rival whatever it is that she doesI have this too Lauren and I really like it!Granted I have always used it over a primer but I can honestly say the outcome isnt how it looks like on T!!!
and calls " a look". It's pitiful!

This isn't the eye look for this particular palette that received the F rating. I ordered this palette and was super disappointed with the results as well. Even my daughter who is a MUA with the best brushes money can buy was turned off by its performance. We tried with various primers and no luck. We sent it packing after two days. Chanel could've done a better job on this one.she is full of s.... before you review makeup learn how to use it, what brushes to use, how to apply it...

I also listened to her, I believe it was last spring, on 2 eye shadow singles (exaltation and palpitation). Thank goodness they weren't LE, bc I tried them on at the counter and they looked amazing on and I had NO Issues with either. She trashed both so bad and claimed there was no color payoff, D or F grade, dry, blah blah. None of it was true for me. I think everyone needs to take her reviews with a huge grain of salt instead of blindly listening, especially with Chanel. I've been guilty of it myself, but I'm done doing that.she is full of s.... before you review makeup learn how to use it, what brushes to use, how to apply it...

no it is not eye look for this palette nor I said that It was just a reminder of how seriously she takes her reviews
if you want to be the best blogger out there you can't smear two colors all over your eyes like a 3 year old
then you have no credibility!

I think it is garbage when people trash a product they do not even own. Reminds me of high school....well Suzy said this sucked, so it must. Then you tell everyone something sucks, not because you know this for a fact. Because Suzy said so, and Suzy is never wrong.....not. I know nothing about Bobbi Brown products. But it would be like me ranting on how something is awful in that line, when I never laid eyes on it. If you actually own something and hate it, go rant. Again, to me, time and time again this person has shown she has a chip on her shoulder when it comes to Chanel. Think about, if all the products this person claims suck made by Chanel, do you honestly think Chanel would keep having sales? Of course all companies make less then perfect products. But to me, I do not consider this person to be unbiased
Again, I have said this before months ago and got blasted I was being mean. We here on this format are passionate and not "official" bloggers. We tell the truth, we help each other to find the best and know the yucks. This person has the power to make or break a campaign of products. I have no respect for her, but it really pisses me off when her comments are from people who never even saw the product she is trashing. Bite me comes to mind.....

At the end of the day its just makeup. And no one should take any blogger/YTuber's word as golden when it comes to reviewing products because what doesn't work on one might not work on another. I use reviews as a research tool versus those who take someone at their word determining whether or not to purchase based off a performance grade. Nor do I get upset when someone rates my fave holy grail with a poor grade. It didn't work for them for whatever reason but its working for me. I think too many of us get wrapped up in these reviews instead of just investigating if it will work for US individually. There are so many things that bloggers said wouldn't work on darker complexions....I defied them all because I did my own research and learned that those products worked for me.
