The Butter London + Pantone Color Of The Year Eyeshadow Palette is currently half off at Ulta for $14.50. 

Here's swatches of it. Swatches were done with the cheap one-dollar e.l.f. eyeshadow brush, under the good lighting provided by the in-store Benefit Brow Bar.

 The colors in order, are: Rose quartz, Bone, Marble, Pashmina, Taffeta, Greenery, Periscope, and Velour.

Here's my review, now that I've bought it and worn it on my eyes.

Most of the colors work perfectly fine on the eyes.

Periscope in particular improves versus the above swatch when applied with a firm, smaller brush.

Greenery preformed amazingly. It's true-to-pan bright green on the eyes without the need for a white base. I've now worn it on my eyes for more than 8 hours, and it still hasn't faded.* The palette is worth it for this color alone.

* I did use primer, but, on my eyelids at least, this is still impressive for a bright color like this.

There are two exceptions: Velour is patchy, regardless of how you apply it, brushes or fingers. If you wanted the palette mostly for that color, give it a pass.

When applied with a brush, Taffetta's pinky undertones/base don't come through very well, as you can see in my swatch. On the eyes, it required multiple layers, though it was very pretty once built up. It preforms much better and truer to pan when applied with fingers, as can be seen in Reddit user MerryKerry's finger swatches here. However, even then, it leans more neutral than the color on the back of the box would lead you to believe.

Wear test: I spent several hours outside in near 100°F heat, with Rose quartz and Greenery applied towards my inner corner, Taffeta applied in the center**, Pashmina applied in the outer third of the crease, Bone on the browbone, and Velour applied in the outer corner. This was over the smashbox eyeshadow primer.

All of these lasted well, and didn't fade, except: Taffeta faded just a little. Velour was completely gone when I came home.

** Three layers applied with brush came out serviceable, and then I tapped some extra on top with fingers, which worked much better.

And for completeness, here's the box:

@Sihara @suzyo  I just press the picture in the email and it gives me option to "save the image" it automatically saves it like this. I'm using Iphone 7. Not sure if it is different on other devices
