LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Delectable Delights Shimmer-Finish Baked Eyeshadow Kit with Free Mascara Included | Long-Lasting Crease-Proof Baked Eyeshadows for Mature Skin

Top notch for quality, variety and blendability
Having always wanted to try this brand, the Black Friday deals did it for me finally! The palette array of colors is so flattering and versatile (especially for older skin) and easy to blend. It’s very soft on the skin and non-irritating. Even if I had paid full price, it would have certainly been worth it for this quality and variety. Usually I only use a color or two in palettes like this, but I’m sure I will use most of them quite regularly. I look forward to trying many more of LG products. 🙂

Shadows easily break
Great colors. But first shipment 3 of the shadows were broken inside. I returned and they sent me another, where 1 shadow was broken. I did keep it. But be aware. The shadows shatter!!

Wanted to love it but can’t stand it
Well… first of all the product arrived broken, which I know happens but is still a downer. The palette is also in a pretty cardboard housing, not a sturdy click-closed plastic. So it’s not going to be portable and will need to use more caution to avoid getting it wet from splashback of the sink etc.So minus1 star from the get-go.I have seen so many ads and reviews that rave about LG makeup! I treated myself over the holidays to two eyeshadow palettes, this pink prosecco one and one called floral. I was really looking forward to products that are supposedly made for aging women’s skin.I am so disappointed! First, almost every pan is a metallic frosted, which tends to exaggerate wrinkles and saggy eyelids! I have a lot of makeup that I tried and didn’t like very much or felt a little cheated by the cost vs the results, but this has to hands-down the worst ever. It feels heavy on the skin, it didn’t blend well, and most of the light to medium shades didn’t show well on my “light” skin (neutral undertones,blueish-gray eyes).The darker colors are too saturated and just look like red bruises, there was no neutral brown to use as a liner. That darkest red pan is useless to me, luckily that was the broken one huh. I was forced to use the midtone pink shades as the crease-shadow and lining colors with the lighter ones for overall lid coverage and highlighter shades to tone it down. In the end I felt like the eyeshadow was caked on and much too metallic for day wear, even with a dusting of mineral veil over it. Ok, that’s the skin feeling. How did it look? I checked in several light settings. I saw too much makeup, and it was not very flattering. It reminded me of the makeup ladies wore in the 1970s. I will continue to experiment on how to apply it without overload on the brush (I barely tapped my brush on the color, and I tapped the loaded brush on a clean ceramic plate to evenly distribute the color on the brush and not overload the bristles). It was still too much. Worse, the product does not blend or easily spread across the lid, it clung to the first point of contact, and blending it out was a major chore. And yes, I had done all my prep work ahead of application, with a quality eyelid primer. I tried using a clean kabuki brush to blend out or lift some of the color, but wasn’t very successful, and had to apply lighter colors over the darker to neutralize. I ended up having to apply mineral veil over it to make it look less garish. It looked and felt like stage makeup, something overly dramatic for my preferences. Why so many metallic shimmer shades? Mature skin does not look great with that.I will very likely return to my tried and true formula of applying a drugstore creme makeup (Revlon!) as a base, and dusting clinique or bare minerals shadows for more dramatic effects.I found nothing in the Laura Gellar products that felt or looked as-good or better than what I’ve been using, so I’m really puzzled about all the hype for this makeup line. What’s the deal? Are all the reviews and the testimonials really honest? I was so looking forward to trying this and feel I wasted a hundred dollars! Once again fooled by marketing! I watched Laura Gellar herself apply the makeup in her videos, and her commentary simply does not match the actual experience. It’s not easy to apply, it doesn’t feel silky or smooth, and it is not easy to blend. Moreover, this set appears more suitable for a darker skinned person than myself, so it’s not universally flattering. Most palette collections are flattering to all skin tones. This pink prosecco is definitely not.

A product well worth the money! Beautiful colours and great variety. Stays in place all day. Will definitely buy again

I love Laura Geller products in general, and this is no exception. You get 14 different shades of matte brown in a carboard wallet, with a mirror, inside a cardboard box. The colours range from a soft ivory through to a deep, dark brown, and just about every shade in between; if it’s not there, you can mix it. Initially, I thought each eye shadow was quite small, as the diameter is around the size of a penny, but they’re domed, and as they’re so richly pigmented a little really does go a long way.The eye shadows are very easy to apply, blend perfectly, and are forgiving if you’re not so skilled at applying make up. You can create a subtle every day look, right through to the striking and dramatic smoky eye, and it stays in place. On me, I found that it didn’t cake or crease into my lines, which can be an issue with other brands. In addition, you can extend the usage by adding a touch of highlighter over the top to make it sparkle. I do think these are incredible value for money and would gladly buy again.

Great Laura Geller eyeshadow palette. Highly recommended. Good range of colours and they last a very long time. Got this at a great price as well!
