Most Helpful Positive Review Almost mad I waited so long ... When the drama came out about this palette - it felt biased and unfair, however, it did affect my excitement about picking it up. So I waited several months where I felt safe to splurge on something I may not love and use every day.
I finally picked it up for my birthday and also ordered some real techniques brushes to ensure I had good eye brushes to really give it a fair shot and it turns out I LOVE this palette. I see myself using it several times a week.
The color selection is inspiring, wearable and you can even find quads within, to guide you on those days you don't want to think to hard. This also lasts all day. I am wearing a look from it now that has been on for about 12 hours and it looks fresh. Everything still in place.
At first, I tried the color prayer in my crease and it laid down so light, I was like "hmmmm" however it quickly built up and I felt like I had so much more control than shadows usually give you.
I used these shadows on top of Milani eye primer and did NOT lay a base shad and they still blended beautifully, looking so smooth! Ugh! I can't believe I let the drama keep me from picking this up sooner!
The shimmers feel like butter. They are wearable and classy.
It's like the face shades in the Needs palette. They blend for me so very easily and look beautiful. Not at all like some have described in mean spirit. (I realize that not anything is going to work for everyone - but I feel 100% that this launch did not deserve at all the almost attack it received).
I will proudly be giving this palette as gifts to friends and repurchasing myself.
Emily recently recommended a hidden gem line that I am now using (and loving) for my every day full face. Also, this palette she created feels like a care package - so well thought out, so usable/helpful/supportive, fun, accessible/affordable, inspiring....
Because of these experiences, I find her to be trustworthy and know who to pay attention to going forward.
Most Helpful Critical Review Just depends on your palette preferences/needs I really wanted to love this palette since I love Emily. This palette does have a pretty variety. It definitely takes time to build the shades up. Shimmer shades work best with finger; pigment has a hard time transferring from brush to eye, even when wet. I got this as a gift and I've used it enough to have an opinion.
This is a great palette for people who like less pigmented eye looks. I personally don't reach for this often but I don't regret having it necessarily. If it's on sale, and you have the patience's to work with it, then I say go for it.
It's not bad by any means, just not in my all time favorites.
The Emily "needs" palette is more pigmented and the formula works fine with brushes. It also has more neutrals for the everyday look and a blush, bronzer, and highlight. I'd go with the needs palette over this one, personally.

Was looking forward to getting this palette. Unfortunately because I got it in the mail, it came with 2 shades broken. I did not return it because I have not seen this palette in the Ulta store near me. So I'm keeping it and working with it because I like the shadows, they blend well and color story is up my alley. So I took 1 star off due to the broken shades.

Betty from Seattle, WA
I saw this palette on a makeup tutorial, and thought I give it a try. It sure has pretty colors, but unfortunately my eyes got itchy after using it. This is a big no to me, when cosmetics cause the skin around my eyes to get irritated. Therefore I do not recommend this palette to anyone with sensitive skin.
I LOVE THIS PALETTE 5

This palette has the best shadows from revolution, and a great variety! The Wants was definitely an appropriate name. I use this palette in my every day makeup routine.
Great for Beginners and Everyday Looks 5
C.McCutie from Parkersburg, WV
I bought this palette first for myself. I am no makeup artist by any means but I have used many palettes from high end formulas to low end formulas. This palette is great for beginners and offers a variety of colors that you can get everyday looks out of. The colors are buildable which allow the users control of the shadow. I purchased a second one for my mother who is just not getting into eye shadow and she loves it!

Nat from Indianapolis
After reading reviews I was a bit hesitant to buy this but after my purchase I could not be happier! I love all the colors and they fit perfectly with my blue eyes. I am a bit of a beginner when it comes to bright colored eyeshadow so I felt this was a perfect fit.

In Love 5
FHD from NY
I use this palette for everyday looks. I'm not comfortable with makeup and can really only do a soft, natural look on myself, which is why I like this palette. A more experienced person could probably do a lot more with this palette than I can, but I do appreciate the simple/classy vibe I get from this palette.
I would not buy this product 4
Es from San Antonio Tx
I would of loved it but the shadows came broken and mixed some of the colors
Now my favorite palette 5
Susie Q from CA
This palette is so fun and one of the few palettes where I literally have been using every single color. I also really love how if you search this palette on YouTube, you find a TON of tutorials. This makes if easier for me to figure out what colorful combos work. The shadow itself is great quality overall, nice and pigmented. Emily Noel's has truly put a lot of love and care into this palette and it shows. This entire palette is an everyday palette.
NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY 3
Mandi from okc
I have been wanting this Palette and was just not sure after the reviews but I decided to get it because the color story is beautiful. And honestly do not like. The colors are VERY patchy and hard to blend. I would totally recommend if you are new to makeup but it is not what I expected. I tried very hard to like but can't. Would recommend just to get a colourpop or morphe or even a bh palette instead

Love it! 5
Colleen from Florida
Very good palette!
-Easy to blend.
-Pigmented
-So many different colors to make looks with. Colorful but still wearable.
-Mirror is huge!
-Only downside is some of the shimmers aren't the most metallic, but they still look lovely.
Overall, I use this palette more than most of my high-end ones.
Highly recommend, especially for the price.
For the price- yeah! 5
JAMIE from Minneapolis, MN
I like to buy eye shadow palettes even though I'm not that great at creating beautiful and explosive eye looks! With this palette I was able to touch around with some colors that I don't usually use, and create natural eye makeup looks that had pops of color! I am no where near a pro makeup artist, but playing with this palette made me feel comfortable and allowed me to learn how to apply eye shadow on my eyes for a complimenting look.
Awful 1
Live Love Laugh from ID
Bought two; one for me and one for my daughter. I regret not returning them both. These are just terrible. If you want a dry patchy mess on your face then buy this. There are a few good colors. Blends horribly! This is the worst palette I've ever used.

Big flop 2
Malice from Savannah
I wanted to love this palette, it's big and got a very pretty mirror and look... however, the majority of the colors don't make sense together. I had a hard time blending and had to apply many coats to get even a little bit of the pigment. I know purples are difficult to do, but the purple shades are one of the main reasons I got drawn in. Sadly, they don't stay on and you really have to work with them to get them to work.
Love this palette! 5
Jordan from Arkansas
I've owned this palette for several months now and really enjoy all of the different looks I can get! Blendable and pigmented, would recommend!
patchy and no long-lasting wear 2
Lydia from NJ
Really wanted to love this palette. The packaging is cute and the selection of colors is wearable but fun. But nearly all shades are patchy, requiring multiple applications to build up decent color. At the same time, the color payoff would disappear the instant you tried to blend. Some of the shimmer shades are beautiful, but 2-e shades don't redeem the palette. Ended up returning.
Great pigment! 5
Cin from Oregon
I love it! My husband bought it as a gift and had no idea what to get me. He found a pallet with a large variety of colors and awesome pigment.
Not impressed. 2
Kay from Ky
I love Emily Noel. But these are disappointing! The mattes are patchy. Shimmers have no pay off. I was really hoping I would love it. But I never reach for it!
