*GA's limited edition items are way overpriced in Malaysia. I got this from Hong Kong and they are only selling at HKD440 (RM218).

Review:
Finally got this babe in. Thanks to Chococake for doing the CP for me. This palette is beautiful at first glance. Consists of 4 eye shadow and 1 sheer shimmer powder. The 4 eye shadows are dark brown, khakis brown, iridescent purple and shimmery taupe.

I was disappointed with the sheer shimmer powder. I thought it was a blush when saw the palette on the web. How nice if it was a blush. It is a iridescent pink powder that reflects pink on different angles. However, it appears just as white powder on my face. It supposes to be a highlighter but I didn't find any highlighting effect from it. I'm considering to depot one of the GA blush and put it in here.

I found the texture of the 4 eye shadows is very silky and ultra fine. However, they are so tightly pressed in that the powder is hard to pick up using my eye shadow brush. The dark brown color is great for lining and shading. It is the most pigmented shade. The purple color reminds me of Urban Decay Asphyxia. It changes color in different angles. The shimmery taupe is very beautiful and the khakis brown is natural. Great for evening look or natural look. Overall, all the eye shadow shades are good but I'm just couldn't justify the USD80 for this palette.
