Galaxy Chic palette review

I received the Galaxy Chic palette on my birthday from my wonderful sister who knew I'd been eyeing it for awhile. I had received a single of the color Neptune in an Ipsy bag and thought it was super pretty. (For those of you who don't know what Ipsy is, it's one of those monthy subscription programs where they send you a small sampling of makeup, skincare, and haircare items for $10.) The Galaxy Chic palette retails for $22.95 and can be found here. It consists of 18 shimmery, baked shadows that are named for different celestial bodies. Hence the name! 

Typically baked shadows can be used wet or dry so I swatched them first dry on bare skin, then wet on bare skin. Top photo are the shadows in the first row, second photo is the second row, and third photo is the third row.

Swatching them wet really brought out the metallic finish and definitely helped with pigmentation in some of the colors, especially the pinks & burgundies in the top row. I'm absolutely happy with the palette. They are all shimmery finishes so if you're not a fan of those, I would steer clear. I do have a couple of matte palettes from other brands so if I need to, I'll use one of those to help blend out the edges so I don't look like a glitter bomb. There's a wide range of colors but not so many you get lost and I think you could really create some fun looks with this. 

For this look I used Milky Way all over the lid, Moon & Eclipse in the crease and outer v, and Neptune in the outer v to add a little more intensity. I also smudged Eclipse over Jordana's 12 Hour eyeliner in Purple Fix along the lower lashline. Kat von D liquid liner for the wing and Jordana Best Lash Extreme mascara to finish out the eyes and Loreal Extraordinaire in Blushing Harmony on the the lips.
