[MENTION=92943]lipstickaddict[/MENTION] & [MENTION=92925]boschicka[/MENTION] - let us know how y'all like the palette! It looks incredible. I have only seen swatches on Ree's blog and I saw some swatches on beauty gypsy's instagram live yesterday. The pigment seems great.

My Instant Eye palette was delivered yesterday! Based on finger swatches the quality seems to be consistent with other CT paletttes. I'm wearing the day look today and it was super easy to put together.

Now the downside.....the eyeshadows in my palette have an odor. Not like they've gone bad but they smell sweet - almost like maple syrup. At first I thought it was the plastic palette but it's definitely the shadows. Has anyone else had this experience? Maybe I got a bad palette?

My palette arrived earlier this week and it is stunning! Haven't had a chance to play with it yet but hopefully you can see the colors fairly clearly in this pic.

I've changed my mind about the Instant Eye palette, I'm returning it. I've tried all the trios except for the Disco one and the pigmentation just isn't there. Today I have on the Desk trio....I thought I applied it with a heavy hand and all I see on my eye is the shimmer shade. I'm not someone who likes really pigmented shadows as I find them hard to blend but the formula in this palette is a miss. Compared to her other palettes (which I love) there's something about the shadows in the new palette that isn't consistent with her previous releases. So not worth $80.

Thanks for the review. I bought this but only used the Date trio. I was trying to look up how to use it but never found the info. I assumed the enhance shade was supposed to be for the crease but it didn't quite work that way. I need to try the other shades soon. Maybe it is not a keeper. Plus, it seems a new palette is coming out soon. I'm surprised they are releasing so close together. I am curious about it though.

Wow! This is not my experience at all! I find the shadows consistent with the ones in the face palette and they are buttery and pigmented. It's getting good reviews online too, so I wonder if Mary Jane's palette is off or something. She also originally mentioned a smell. Weird. I'm definitely keeping mine and I love it!

Here is a great review which also discusses application of the eye trios:

Good to know. I've been behind in watching youtube and reading reviews. The discussion just reminds me that I need to try harder to use a whole palette before I try something else new. I didn't think I need it. Well I don't need anything but it was that disco trio that got me and then I liked the seemingly warm tones of the desk eye I saw in pics. I am quite curious about what looks like a new face palette. I'm guessing it is totally different from the others but just a guess. This eye palette is a neutral palette to me and I kind of get the same feeling from the other face palettes. I think maybe CT will go in a different direction this time. I guess we'll see. I'm assuming full images haven't been revealed yet.
