Not "highly pigmented" at all, but okay for a cheap product.

I purchased my palette brand new from eBay for $9.00/free postage. So yeah that's pretty cheap and I shouldn't complain.
However I think this palette was very over hyped and doesn't live up to the amazing reviews its been getting.
Not all colours are super pigmented, even after applyng foundation, eye and face primers. I find that you have to apply the same colour over and over to get a good vibrant result. Once the shadows have settled they do hold up well, but they smudge and blend away very easily when applying.
I would recommend this palette to someone wanting to experient, who is on a budget or who is just starting out. But i'd never use this palette on clients..
The shimmer to matte ratio is bullshit. Most of the vibrant colours are matte and alot of the natural-glam colours are shimmer, which I dont like at all.
They have alot of light white cream colours that are all very similar and hardly show up, yet hardly have any nice dark colours.
I probably wouldn't purchase this exact palette again, i'd find one in a different brand or with darker colours.

It gave my skin a rash!

I got this as a Christmas gift. The pigmentation is iffy. Some of the shades are amazingly pigmented, blendable, and smooth. Almost all the greens are no problem, the reds, and browns. However, I have very sensitive ecxema prone skin. The shadows made my eye irritated and red. It made the outer corners of my eyelids red and cracked. I was playing with my makeup and put colors all over my face, and my neck got a rash. I want to say this is decent, but because of my skin reaction I just can't recommend it at all.

I love this palette!The colors are very pigmented,and easy to blend.Staying power is good,i have oily lids,and on my eyes colors stay quite long...
Yes,there is fallout,but much more expensive eyeshadows have a lot of fallouts as well...
Altogether,for that amount of money (around 20$) you get 88 really great colors!
If you ask me,that's a great bargain :)

bargain in price, and quality.

First off, for what you pay for this (which is like $20-25 if I remember correctly?) it is a total steal. So many beautiful color choices and so pigmented, how could this not be perfect for your collection? However, expect a lot of dusting and fall out onto your face. Their staying power isn't the greatest either. Still its nice to have these around for the rare times you find yourself in need of a pretty specific shade or bright shade. I also have the metal mania palette I believe, which has gorgeous colors as well.

The packaging is nice, I expected it to feel much cheaper. I haven't used my palettes heavily, but they stayed in very nice shape.

I think this is a good deal for all the colors you get. The quality of it was alright for me. I read a lot of reviews saying they were so pigmented and what not but for my skin, it's quite chalky and u have to really work it in to get the color to pop. Even with a primer it was still to chalky for me. I recommend this to starters and people who want to practice with makeup.

Love

This is my go to makeup pallet. Colors are vibrant and lasting. The 88 colors gives a variety that takes you from day to night. Great buy for the price.

Brilliant

I have long dreamt of this palette for a long time so when I finally got it, I was very excited. The colors are vibrant when you use an eyeshadow primer. Except that, they all appear dull and flat-looking.
So, as long as your using an eye primer, you get good results.

My First...

I got this palette when I was in middle school and I still have most of the colors in tact my second year of college. The colors are bright and vibrant and for the price you pay it is well worth it {especially because of how long it lasts}. It is great for beginners and experts alike. Don't let those little cases fool you, they pack a punch and last a long time.

Perfect for all beauty girls

This is my first and only make-up palette. With all the colors and different looks I can create with this palette there is no need for another palette. This palette is perfect for beginners because you can buy this one product to achieve most of your looks. The colors never fade. I wear this over NYX eyeshadow base, the base allows my shadows to stay bright and poppy all day. This is the perfect product for all girls
