I am not a huge fan of palettes, to be honest, unless I build it myself. I don't know about you, but when I have purchased a palette thinking it was such a "good deal", there were quite a few of the colors that were somewhat used infrequently, some hardly at all, then about four or five that I would use all the itme. Usually only one would be the most highly used. That can take the idea of "such a good deal", right down the drain. Then you get this clunky palette eating up a lot of space, when most of the colors aren't even used that much. Can you tell I don't liike premade palettes?!
They are definitely something that have to be researched a lot more to see if it would be worth it for you. You have to look at it as if you are buying all of those shadows shadows individually and whether or not you will use most of them. For some people, they are going to like them all enough that it will be worth it. It's going to be especially good for someone who is just starting to build a collection. I don't disagree with you, though. Unless I like most of the shades in a palette and know that I will use them, then I won't get it. The math still makes this one a good deal, though, assuming the quality of these shadows is up to snuff. We will have to wait and see about that, though.

Aww that kind of sucks. It'd be nice to be able to swatch out maybe carbon or if there's another shade in there I won't get a ton of use out of. Well hopefully this carbon will be one of the nice ones!
That would be nice! I see other people post pics of these deep, pigmented Carbons, and I don't own a single one that's like that! I must just keep getting duds.

To me it is very weird! I swatched the one in store and it wasn't pigmented.
But the one I bought is super pigmented.

i usually like the icon collections...from the descriptions i'm most interested in the eyeshadow palette, but i guess we'll see from the swatches.

Hmm, not sure about this collection, i hope there will be some brpw product though, since that is so much of what her look was.
