MAC Fabulousness Palette "Warm Eyes" review


I bought this palette at the end of last year, but I totally forgot to review it :) The Fabulousness Palette was part of the Glamour Daze Collection and it retailed at £32.00, so it was quite a pricey treat. Before buying this little palette, I had no idea what to expect from MAC eye shadows, so I figured that it was the right time to try the formula. All the palettes and sets from the Glamour Daze Collection were beautiful, but I decided to go for the "Warm Eyes" palette in a lovely cream case.
The packaging is absolutely beautiful and looks amazing on my dressing table. I love the black bow and the soft, satin padded lid. It is one of the prettiest eyeshadow palettes I have ever seen!

The palette includes 5 eyeshadows: Glamour Light, Retrospeck, Honesty, Cognac, and Sketch and they all look very pretty in the pan. I expected MAC eyeshadows to be amazing, but I am slightly disappointed with most of the shades. 

Glamour Light is a light beige and it lacks pigmentation. Retrospeck is a light and sparkly gold with a lot of fallout. Honesty is a coppery brown shade, which I love the look of, but just like Retrospeck, it  has A LOT of fallout.  Cognac is a golden bronze with a frost finish, very easy to blend, with minimal fallout. The last shade is Sketch- my favourite from the palette. It is a deep burgundy shade, perfect to use in the crease. WIth it's velvety finish, it is a dream to apply and the pigmentation is amazing.

Verdict? I am disappointed with the formula of the three bigger eyeshadows - Glamour Light, Retrospeck and Honesty, but I love Cognac and Sketch. It is a nice little palette and I use it quite often, but I am not sure if I will be buying other MAC eyeshadows in the future. I think that Urban Decay offers better pigmentation and colour payoff. I might put a little MAC  quad together one day, but I am not in a rush :)

You can see the look I created with the palette on the photo above. I quite like the final effect with black winged liner and a pair of falsies :)

Do you like MAC eye shadows? Are they worth the hype in your opinion? What shades would you recommend for my first quad?
