 I'm not gonna lie, it's the packaging & presentation that sold me on this set

The Dollhouse box has one side that flips down & the palette pops out easily,

plus the box looks awesome on your vanity to display jewellery, perfume etc

Cute details in the background, a little staircase holding the mini samples, a cardboard 

Mannequin & Sephora bag full of Too Faced products, it's all too adorable!

But..I feel that the packaging was the main focus in the creative process of this set 

& the palette was more of an after-thought...

♥

The Palette includes 18 eyeshadows, with only 5 Matte shades

All the shadows have cute names printed underneath.

There is a lot of shimmer & glitter going on in this palette, if that's not your thing, 

this is not the collection for you!

The pigmentation varies with the shadows, the glittery shades are too flaky & chunky that there

is no real colour to the base of them, blow the glitter away & there's nothing there.

The shimmers are beautiful & buttery & have perfect colour pay-off,

especially "Wish List", "Arc de Triomphe" & surprisingly "Party Dress"

But the mattes are inconsistent with a couple that are dry & patchy..

such as "Cobblestone" & "Belle Femme"

The larger highlighting shades are all beautiful, I'll probably use these everyday.

And the Face products are nicely pigmented, the Highlight & Bronzer are buttery

but the blushes are more dry & powdery

♥SAMPLES♥

Melted Peony Lipstick is a Creamy Dusty Pink, on the cooler side.. 

in my opinion, it's quite a hard shade to pull off on most skin tones & unfortunately 

it's one that gets repeated in a lot of their collections as a deluxe sample, 

I wish it was something more universal like "Melted Nude" or "Melted Ruby" Red

Better Than Sex Mascara though it is a great mascara to have, it's also an over kill 

in their Gift sets, I have about 4-5 of these kicking around now

Eyeshadow Insurance is a handy mini to have, it has a decent amount of product (0.17oz) & should last you a long time 

Is this Gift set worth purchasing?

Honestly, I don't think so unless you want to pay $58usd for amazing packaging but poor product. 

I would rate this 5/10 for quality, I love a few of the shadows & the Highlight & Bronzer are both nice, but I was disappointed with the rest..

And 10/10 for the packaging obviously because it's stunning but also the slim palette pops out making it very travel friendly
