Having to apply shadow with your fingers is so ridiculous to me. These palettes have to get it together.
I think I'm getting this, but so help me, if the new finishes are the type that have to be applied with your finger (looking at you, Huda Beauty Palette), then I'm fighting it all the way to the Supreme Court!

Take a peek at Tati's WTF video on this palette...the lightest glittery shade gave her problems. Immediate fall out. She also tried dampening her brush with fix+ and because it is a "pressed pigment" it crumbled. She did check ins and all I could see was glittery fall out all over her face hours later.
I don't have this new palette yet but I have a few of the five pans and the brown green mega palette, and you really do need to treat the very metallic shades in those palettes - can't recall the shades but the bright gold and the silver in particular - as the pressed pigments they are. If you pack it on to your brush and apply that way, you will have fall out. I suspect that may be what's happened here, although I realize this is supposed to be a new/different formula from the older shadows. I'm probably going to cave and get this but I wouldn't write it off just yet because of Tati's experience.
For me, it was more about the application. I have the shadows you mentioned and have zero problems with application. I'm writing off this $169 palette!
In all seriousness though, even if it turns out to be amazing, I'm ok with that. I own all the makeup and I'm beginning to tire of the game a little.
i just bought the stupid palette, don't ask wtf my problem is. The Beautylish payment plan made it easier to digest. I don't own not one of her palettes for obvious reasons. I didn't even look at one review! The frigging Beautylish "early access" email got me!! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
That's been in my cart since it came back in stock and I keep not buying it. I get the Tarte pro one today, similar colors. Then again all palettes seem to have similar ones nowadays, including the Star Palette. Then I was looking at the Huda. I like the super shimmery in these palettes. I should have just forgotten about this one and gotten the MR.Well our makeup loving addict...you are now bound to share swatches and thoughts on that sucker! I feel you though, coz I went back in for the ABH MR palette as soon as it was in stock again...and I do not feel bad about it!

I hear the Huda one has serious issues with fall out...meaning several shades need to be applied by finger and/or some type of glitter primer/glue is necessary.
I'm on the fence about this palette. I use the Green/Brown all the time, the Blue/Purple not so much... I'm not convinced that I need this one.
I don't get the complaints about fallout, most shadows with shimmer have fallout just by the very nature of it. Worse if you pack it on. The finger warms it up for better application, makes it smoother. I don't know, the Moondust has fallout. I do my eyes first now before concealer under my eyes and foundation/powder. I figure you have to be into shimmer to accept it. If not, you won't be happy.
Btw, this wasn't towards you, just in general, lol!
I've been looking at her smaller palettes, do you like them?
Please let us know what you think of the palette when you get it!
I resisted successfully lol. I'll tell you what - these companies keep lobbing these awesome products at me, but I've been hitting them right back. Natasha Denona? Nope. Dior holiday? Nope. Chanel fall? No way. Tom Ford shimmer shots? Beautiful, but resisted. ABH Mario? ....well, I did get that one haha.
I have been enjoying looking at everyone else's purchases lately though! 'Tis the season
