I just got this palette for Christmas. I'm very happy with it thus far. I did think it was a little weird her name was only on the throw away items or a sticker that could peel off. that seems a little shady on ciates part, like when the contract ends they're going to keep the palette and drop chloe. the eyeshadows aren't instantly gratifying on pigment but they do build really well and I had no fall out. I really like chloe and all things considered, it was worthwhile to invest in, for me. I also sent my family who got it for me the link when it was on sale, so that helps too.

Hey Kat, I just received this yesterday. I was pretty nervous after seeing your review. And your right it's impossible to pick up shimmery shades with a brush. I tried several. And then I tried one of those super cheap sponge tip applicators. wow what a difference. You get almost an opaque wash of shimmery colour. I'm so annoyed because I nearly almost throw them out so only have the one. I'm still on the fence on the palette though. I'm finding the mattes difficult to work with. I've used it twice and I have to really build up the brown mattes. and the two light pinky ones don't even show up on my lid.
Well this is annoying. No easy way of getting this palette here in the UK. It is sold out on the Ciate London website. All of their UK Stockists listed don't have it and Boots is listed when it only has one nail polish. Even the make up sites that stock Ciate London only have their mainline palettes. Sephora et all as they are in America (still no Sephora in the UK) cost a fortune in shipping and the pound is weak and you get hit with customs import charges so just not worth it. Am fed up of big brands not realising that with you tube and social media there is now a World wide market. Do they not want our money?
Thanks for getting this up so fast – cute looking palette and the colours are totally in my wheelhouse, but no thank you now…definitely seems like you're right re Chloe's involvement also.
Ooh some of those shades swatch so badly. However that bottom row is great particularly Fierce and the last shade. Great review Kat and I love the look you've worn in this video x
Very other Maxima only got 4 packs including the tester 🙁 and the palette will only be restocked online and I'm not sure when or how many of the pack they will have in the restock :/
I like the colour selection, but dont't like to work with my fingers and I don't want to pay so much money for this because I don't want samples and a makeup bag. I don't want to pay for samples and never use those bags. If ciaté would sell this palette seperately on his own for maybe 25$, I would buy this. But so… no. Thank you Kat for this honest review!
thanks for the review — this one has been removed from my wish list — does not blow me away either. Have u seen the new Tartiest Pro palette? that looks exciting.
I ordered this palette online within days of its release (unfortunately before any reviews had been published) and you just verbalised my exact feelings on it! The colour selection was what really drew me in, but the formula of the eyeshadows let me down. However, I will still definitely get use out of it, they just require a bit more work than some of my favourite formulas. You've earned a new subscriber here, your reviewing style is a breath of fresh air!
i actually never use a brush for my lid shade, just for my transition and crease..besides that, i just use my finger! i think more people should just do that if theyre having trouble w picking up the shimmers
I never buy anything without your review! Such an honest and straight to the point review thank you so much
you helped me to save me money I can't thankyou enough

It's your brushes fault and you weren't pressing hard enough
I have found it if you scrape the shadows before applying it loosens them up a bit.

Thanks 😉 I think I will pass this one.

Love the colours, but not sure I want the hassle of fighting to get product on my face! TFS

You really have a point on the "Chloe" sticker on the box.
