When I posted my haul featuring this palette, some people expressed interest in seeing swatches and I wanted to get these pictures out before it restocks on Dramo’s Taobao store; the restock is scheduled for May 6 20:00 PM Beijing time, so get ready if you are determined to have this.
Swatches are 1-2 finger swipes on light warm skin with no primer, taken in outdoor lighting. Eyeshadow look was done over an eyeshadow base and the lip product was applied over bare lips, with photos taken in indoor lighting.
The quality is consistent with the second collab from the series (which I ironically purchased first) with the exception of the cobalt blue, which is difficult to make adhere to the skin. I think this is just the nature of this type of pigment, as I’ve experienced similar issues with the blue from the Narimi Jackdaw palette and Chaos from the Urban Decay Electric palette. A sticky base or mixing medium will help a lot, but just be careful and get ready to dust off the inevitable fallout.
Copied from my previous review:The mattes were incredibly pigmented while being easy to blend; even the pastels packed a punch and required hardly any building up to reach true-to-pan opacity. Compared to the 茶染 Tea Dye palette, I didn’t notice as much kickup in the pans, though some still exists. I was especially impressed with the metallic multichrome shimmers, which were extremely shiny and smooth while yielding no fallout – the shimmers felt plush to the touch and had a texture that reminded me of dragon scales, but did not flake off of my finger as I applied them.
The lip products were very comfortable to wear and apply; I used the applicator to cover my lips, then blended out the product with my fingertip. There’s a chocolatey scent as well, and I’m pleased to say it’s not cloying. Despite having a matte finish, these are not transfer-proof at all unlike some products that have a similar finish and effect, such as the Kaleidos Cloud Lab Lip Clays.
