I stumbled upon these beauties in my local drugstore but they were totally sold out! Bummer, but only for a few days until I was able to order them directly from Milani's website at $20 each. The palettes in the store were sold out, but they still had sample palettes to play with and swatch. The colors looked so pretty and the golden glitter was calling my name.

Each palette has 12 shadows and are cased in a mirrored gold finish. They also include a full size mirror.
What's even better are the shadows inside. Below is the Bold Obsessions palette. Can you see why I'm crazy over the gold? It's even more beautiful in person. This palette is a combo of shimmers and mattes, perfectly balanced to create numerous looks.
A closer view of Obsessions.
The Most Loved Mattes palette is also beautiful, but many of the shades are close to my skin tone. I just wish there were a few darker shades to create more of a contrast.
After swatching I see more contrast but I still wish there were a few more dark colors! I do like that there are several shades of beige (50 shades of beige, lol) because I find they all look different against my skin tone. It's tricky to find just the right shade that serves as a base color and has some color correcting properties to help with the darkness of my lids.
The palettes look and feel high quality. The performance of the Bold Obsessions palette surprised me. I tried 6 of the shadows and they applied and blended very easily. They are pigmented and have great color payoff. I also like the matte palette but honestly I have not used it yet.
I think these are a great buy for what you are getting. Their quality rivals some of the higher end brands at half the price!
