Because I am very health conscious, anything that is covering a lot of territory such as skin care, sunscreen, or foundation, I try to use products with the healthiest ingredients. So I decided to try it. It has great ingredients, gives good coverage, and is slightly matte in finish. Good to use a good moisturizer first especially in winter. As many people have commented, the owner is a bit of a wizard in giving the right shade recommendation. I described my coloring in an email and she got it 100% right. They also sent some lip boosts which are like cream lipsticks in a pot. The colors are nice but a bit drying. They also have an illuminating product-- very dewy but a bit gold toned, too much for me, but you might like it.Alisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-17176962913456027332015-12-26T21:20:23.346+01:002015-12-26T21:20:23.346+01:00I have the same feeling, Armani make-up got more e...I have the same feeling, Armani make-up got more expensive over the years and somehow worse in quality and execution as well. I don't know why I keep investing. This time after seeing the concealer, I was like "passing it" but then after the reduction, I got very curious again. You know what they say, curiosity kills the cat haha.Sara@ColorMeLoudhttp://www.colormeloud.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-78333062446734005242015-12-26T21:18:49.589+01:002015-12-26T21:18:49.589+01:00Hi Alison,

I also bought it, but haven't tried it yet. I liked the swatches, but I am not sure what I will do with 2 dark concealers and powder. Maybe I will try them as eyeshadow base, which I don't normally use at all. They could skip it and make two level eyeshadow palette with all warm colors on the top and cooler tones underneath.Janenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-73015566448432614812015-12-20T19:02:24.954+01:002015-12-20T19:02:24.954+01:00Awwww, that's a pity...

I passed on it the first weekend and now it's sold out everywhere in the US. I keep itching to buy this Armani palette. But the more I think about the less I think I'll use it. I'm fairer than you, so that bottom layer is completely useless to me. Yet every sales associate keeps trying to convince me that I could use it for contouring. Not that I've ever attempted contouring, lol. I would rarely ever (maybe never) use the white or black on the top layer. I realized it was the lower right hand mauve color that keeps tempting me. But $140US!! Ouch! For that price it has to be perfect in every way. Thanks for taking the financial hit and reviewing this for us. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!Tatiananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-90097363281085229532015-12-20T09:15:57.403+01:002015-12-20T09:15:57.403+01:00I would have been tempted by this when it first ca...I would have been tempted by this when it first came out where it not for the second level. Having concealers etc in a palette is very limiting as straightaway you<br /> are going to exclude a lot of skintones, I can't understand why brands <br />do it really. Now I've read your review it seems the shadows are a bit <br />of a miss as well. Armani have been coming out with some more expensive <br />palettes over these last years but they don't quite seem to be hitting <br />the mark.Replicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-64956003706353507022015-12-20T04:53:55.477+01:002015-12-20T04:53:55.477+01:00I can see why you are not enthused about the palet...I can see why you are not enthused about the palette. On the other hand, Drake looks great on you. Can't wait to see the other ones you got. I've really been in a little bit of a rut on eye makeup-- doing different versions of my basic look. Biggest change in winter makeup is using a Gressa foundation-- a foundation is a first for me -- with a light dusting of a BB brightening brick for overall uniformity and brightening.Alisonnoreply@blogger.com
