First pic top is the Clio pro eyeshadow palette in Simply Pink and bottom is Peripera All take mood palette in Muteful Rose. I’ve had them since around 2020 so they’re very well loved and prob expired 💀
Second pic right top is Holika Holika palette in Life Berry and bottom is Holika Holika in Shell in the Sea.
The Clio and peripera palettes were my everyday palettes for years until I realized that I’m a summer cool and they look bright orange and so unflattering on my skin tone. Also, I don’t know if they’re just old or if they’re truly just bad, but both of them were so hard to use and unpigmented that I’d have to really dig in for anything to show up at all on my eyelids. Idk if the technology improved or something, but my new Holika Holika palettes are so incredibly pigmented, creamy, and show up beautifully on my eyelids with minimal effort, despite being much lighter shades than my old ones… I did buy the new Clio pro eye palette air eyeshadow that’s supposed to arrive in a week, so I’ll let you know if the formulas just improved in Korea or if the Holika eyeshadows are just THAT good.
I thought about finishing these eyeshadows just for the satisfaction, but life’s too short to look ugly everyday. I’m curious if anyone else has had this experience!
