This palette has been out for a long
time now and I always resisted it as some of the colours do not appeal to me,
but I really wanted that green Alien shade so bad. I also do not personally
like the packaging. There was a 30% off sale on BeautyBay.com, so I decided to
pick it up as it was considerably cheaper at just £33.60!.
The packaging is rather huge. It is
kind of egg shaped with a point to resemble an alien head. It is made out of
hot pink pleather and it has raised metallic grey plastic eyes. The branding
and palette name is printed in white font. It has a magnetic closing which you
lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The top part (lid) folds back and
also has a small mirror. The square eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic
gunmetal grey base. The shade names are printed in white font. The eyeshadows
have the usual JSC logo imprinted into them, apart from two which are a Flying
Saucer/Spaceship and an Alien head. You can purchase this palette for £48.00
from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com.
You get eighteen 1.37g eyeshadows/pressed
pigments in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes.

The following shade is a Pressed
Pigments and is not intended for use around the immediate eye area; Area
51. Pressed pigments can cause temporary staining to the area of skin
they are applied to.
This palette has a cool toned theme
with a few pops and the shades should be incredibly pigmented, buttery and
blend effortlessly. It is also vegan and cruelty free.
Obviously, I have already stated that I
do not like the packaging, but it is unique and goes with the theme. The
layout/shape of the palette also means that there is a lot of wasted space
inside, which is annoying and unnecessary. The colour story is kind of grungy,
but I do like it even though it isn’t my typical taste in palettes. The
kick-back was average as it is powder. I always recommend using primer/glitter
glue as this will increase pigmentation and longevity as well as decreasing
fallout. The shades blend very nicely and they are extremely pigmented. You can
use the eyeshadows wet or dry, I tend to use metallics wet or apply them with
my finger. The only shade that really took a little working was Abduction. It is slightly too light for
my skin tone, so I had to layer it a bit to build up the intensity. I love all
of the metallic shades. My favourite shades are Alien, Interstellar, UFO and Moonrock. I also actually enjoyed using the grey shades. Overall I
do highly recommend this palette for the quality, but I wish the packaging was
simpler and more compact. The JSC’s eyeshadow formula is one of the best I’ve
ever tried! I can’t wait to play some more with it.
