The forth row consists of:Radium: Its a true blue with a frost finish. This is a good color to have. To top it off it has amazing color payoff. This is a powder eye shadow version of Radium Cream eye shadow. This is a new color.
Snatch: Its a frosty pink with a frost finish. Pat this on top of Maybelline's Cool Effects Cooling Cream Eye color in Pink Frost to get beautiful results. This has been in a palette before but not sure if its in the permanent line or not.
Suspect: Its a very cool bronze with hint of taupe. Looks like something that should have been in the Naked Palette. This is a new color.
Psychedelic Sister: Its a deep purple with slight red undertones, It has a frost finish, Its a Sephora exclusive shade.
My Thoughts about it:
Personally I am all for colors so this palette was a good buy for me. Its does have a few flaws but its not like they are not fixable. I would have liked it more if it did not have so may fallout issues but overall its a good palette.
Is this Palette for you?
If you are a fan of UD eye shadows then this BOS palette is good for you but if you are not into shimmery and/or frosty finishes than this might not be your thing.
My ratings:
4.7/5
Have you used this Palette? Tell me how it was for you :)
