Would you pay $599 for this eyeshadow palette?

Nascardiva — Fri, 07 Feb 2014 16:16:16 GMT

I would not. It's Sephora's brand, and looks too similar to palettes you can get from Coastal Scents for a fraction of the cost!!!

I don't like their brand of shadows so no. Not pigmented enough and they make a mess.

No I usually wear the same shades of eyeshadow. Way too many colors I would never wear. PLus, to me the price is way too high for eye shadow.

Wow, so not tempting. It's funny, I wouldn't even want that kit for $60. I'm clearly not who they are targeting!

no, because it's a palette and not individual shadows that can pop out and be taken with you.

I would NEVER pay that much for any cosmetic. (Unless it made me look 20 years younger!)

No, because Sephora doesn't have Easy Pay. Seriously, this gross overpricing of products, whether cosmetics or jewelry, really turns me off.

A Ripkanista would.

$599 ????? You are joking right?? Is this a typo, like maybe it's $59 or even $99 which is still WAY too much for that eye palette !!!! OMG !!!

If I counted right, there are 80 shadows (40 on each tray), so that is only $7.50 per shadow. That sounds reasonable, but I agree with the others -- in a group like that you get colors you'll never wear.

NO WAY!

I would probably only us 4 of the shades in there so that a big NO for me.

Unless you're a makeup artist and planning on using the palette professionally, at any price the average individual will waste most of a palette this big. Most of us would probably not even use 12 of the colors in it regularly--let alone 80.

Maybe it's a typo & should be $59. I would not even pay that for it. Too many colors I would not use anyways.

I am confused about that...it looks like there are little tools included to pop the pans out. I am not sure if there is a separate compact or something you're supposed to put them in though? Or maybe that's just so you can switch around the order/location of the shadows.

To answer the original question, if I had a need or a desire to buy 80 full-size eyeshadows and I liked this brand, yes, I would buy this for the cost savings.

No way!

I;m just confused with the price because the other "Sephora Collection" palettes are in the $20-$40 range. Yes, this one has 80 shadows, but they are like a color crayon box of colors. Even if you love this brand of shadow, it would be unusual for anyone to want these shades.

(I'm personally more tempted by Mally's $700 train case!)

on the Sephora website there are a couple of similar palettes. they are in the 60 range, with the Sephora brand shadows. clearly a typo

Only if Tom Sellek applying it was included. Otherwise I can even imagine the cost of this.
