I received this palette as a gift from my sister; it's the popular 120 palette available from eBay. (I don't have the link for the seller as this was bought for me.) I've been looking forward to trying this out since ages! This is a great bargain for those on a budget. It's basically an assortment of dime-sized eyeshadows in one convenient case. Here are my thoughts on this product.Pros
- very inexpensive! Available for anywhere between $20-$30 USD on eBay
- wonderful color selection with bright, vibrant shades
- 2 rows of neutrals, highlighters, monochromatic, 2 blacks
- variety of finishes although the majority are shimmering
- easy to blend
- great pigmentation payoff for most of the eyeshadows
- very compact so good for traveling and storage
- Not all the eyeshadows are equally as pigmented or have great payoff, though that is fortunately the minority
- These eyeshadows are very fragile and soft, meaning they are easily damaged and also cause some fallout during application
- some eyeshadows might be damaged during shipping so I recommend insurance
- lasting power not as good as high end brands
- the "marbelized" row is pretty pointless though I'm not sure if that's worth mentioning
cool!
ReplyDeletei want that! Its right up my alley! Cause I cant afford Mac and I love using a lot of colors. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThere is a marbelized row?
ReplyDeleteHaha I thought it was just fallout from the broken shadow.

How do u pay for these ... as i dont have a credit card .... could i pay it with cash when they arrive?
ReplyDeleteI recently bought this palette and 3 came damage.I over all enjoy it and there are colors I dont have.I use UPP and my shawdows last up to 10-12 hours!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how this compares to the Coastal Scents 88 Palettes?
ReplyDeletei guess i would never buy that- because i would never use most colours and i am a bit worring about quality- i always think nothink that chep can be real good...i know its kinda stereotype :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting such an informative blog on the 120 b/c I've been going back and forth on whether to trust eBay enough to buy them there or beauties-farm.com...the prices seems really great and the photos youpsted are very good as well.
ReplyDeleteI recently bought this palette and Im still watching on it. So I hope it come soon so I can sheck it out...
ReplyDeleteHEY I BUY FROM COASTAL SCENTS TOO!
ReplyDeleteIve seen these on Ebay and wondered before so thanks for the review!I buy cheap eyeshadow to mix with my Bare Escentuals Weather Everything Liner Sealer because it makes any shadow into great liner and I can buy tons of colors to use with it and I save my cash for my high end shadows I use for actual shadows and shading.We are moving soon and im turning one of the new bedrooms into a huge Kimora style dressing room so I will buy me one of these when we move!
I have to say that I LOVE mine. Just so many options and it really is quite good quality! Just make sure you don't EVER drop it. I knocked mine on the floor once...disaster lol.
ReplyDeleteI find it's really fun to use when you're having a girls night and you want to do wacky makeovers haha. Plus that last row with the neutral shades has some gorgeous browns! Seriously, this palette is amazing.
great review! :]
ReplyDeletei really want to get this now. i am a make up FREAK but my mom said im not allowed to get it... :(
ReplyDeleteyou can aim me if you want and convince my mom to let me get it. and i even told my mom that i would pay for ALL of it and she still wont let me get it. so you can aim me. idk when i will be on..well im on right now. soo my aim is abbykat94 thanks!
I want that!
ReplyDeleteI've got this one. It's good, but eyeshadows don't stay at the eye for so long.
ReplyDeleteDorothy
Wicked.
ReplyDeleteI find these eyeshadows last all day and night on my eyes and mine are quite oily I just use a gosh shadow stick as a base
ReplyDeletehow could i get it like you?

I was wondering the same thing. How does this compare to the Coastal Scents 88 palette? I was thinking about buying only one of the palettes but I can't decide which one.
ReplyDeleteHi...:]i love this pallate but i didnt have it:S
ReplyDeleteI got mine from amazon.com! I love it! quality stuff!!!
ReplyDeletehi i just wanted to know where can i order this eyeshadow plz let em know
ReplyDeletewow i love the colores.♥
ReplyDeleteand just 15 pounds
aren`t very expensive.
awesome info..
ReplyDeleteHeyyyyyyy .. i ve seen all of ur tutorials and they are simply the best..!!
ReplyDeletei Really want this palette .. But can u post the ingredients for it .. as im allergic to some of them!!
that would be really kind of you.. !!
and once again .. the way u do ur make-up is Just Outstanding !!
hi i would also like to know what the difference is between the 88 pallet and this one, because the 88 pallete is easy to get hold of.
ReplyDeleteI have oily lids and the 120 palette shadows last long on my lids, once I use UDPP it will last for hours and hours and it takes me a great eye makeup remover to get it off...on top of that the colors last better than high end makeup such as MAC, I own MAC eyeshadows that don't even last long on my eyes using UDPP as base.
ReplyDeleteermmm... how much is tat 120 Color Palette ??
ReplyDeleteme gustó lo que enseñaste en tus videos y me la compré, me encanta ^^
ReplyDelete---------------------------------------
I liked what i saw in your videos and i bought that palette, i love it ^^
i just came across your youtube vidio on this, i have had this pallette for ages now and love it, its so good for any sort of eye make up and if you wet your brush you can get a more intense colour thats metalic like...
ReplyDeletehey i really love your work!!!!! this was a good review on the palette they also on ebay come with fake nails and a couple brushes awsome :) any how and the palette cost around 20 to 30 dollers like she said

ReplyDeleteI think this palette is better than the 88 palette because in the 88 palette there is no bright and vivid green as well as there is no cool yellow or orange so for me who loves bright color thats a no brainer lol get it its worth it!
ReplyDeletefor those of you that don't hav credit cards you can buy gift credit cards and buy them that way

ReplyDeleteI ordered mine yesterday for $16.99 and free S&H!!! The worst part is having to wait for it to come in the mail :/ I can't wait to try it out!
ReplyDeleteI got mine on ebay for $16.99 including shipping! The worst part is the wait!
ReplyDeletehey i visited ur blog for d very first time... u work great...
ReplyDeleteI just bought this on ebay after seeing it on youutube. I recieved it after 3 weeks of waiting and 9 colors were broke which was a huge mess to clean up.
ReplyDeleteI live in Norway, took about 2,5 weeks to get it, and one eyeshadow had a LITTLE piece broken off. The colours last great, just use a primer underneath. It held for all 6 hours at my job and more until I removed it ( I work at a bar/restaurant, things get hot there!)
ReplyDeleteI orderd one on ebay like 12 days ago so it should be here soon. Im sooo scared though cause i dont want any of them to be broken :(. . but i cant wait 4 it to come at the same time :). I will tell you how many are damaged when it comes, hopefully none :) byeee
ReplyDeleteI had this palette, I gave it away because I HATED it, the colors were nice but the fallout was amazing, shadow went everywhere! Plus when I finally did get it there was 5 broken shadows! Everything you said positive was true though; I think the 88 formula is actually way better, they are packed together more tightly.

Hello everybody!!! I need some help please, could someone kindly help me?? I´ve been checking the 120 Palette on Ebay and there is a great variety of palettes, all of them looks very similar the difference is in the price. I.e: there is one for only $8.99, but maybe it´s not the same quality. Could you please tell me which one should I use?? Many thanks!!!!
ReplyDeleteHI I bought one recently and i am wating for it. I hope it has no damges. what is UPP?
ReplyDeletewow! ur so creative! wonderfull! best regards from Croatia! Jasmina
ReplyDeletewhat's the brand of this??..pls tell me
ReplyDeleteUDPP is the Urban Decay Primer Potion it's a famous eyeshadow primer which makes your eyeshadows last all day.
ReplyDeleteHii, I just saw your video & it said that they coast around $20-$30. I ordered one yesterday. They 120, for $16.94. Is that okay? & Sadly, I don't think I have insurance on it.
ReplyDeletewow ! I want a 120 palette.
ReplyDelete<3
i want this ! i've been looking for it and i found one what is only 22.90€ pretty cheap, so will i see the cheepness in the quality too? and plus im from finland so will it be all damaged when it arrives?
ReplyDelete- kata
i ordered one on ebay but it hasn't arrived yet.. it said it was being shipped from HONG KONG its been a week hopefully ill be getting it soon..
ReplyDeletethis is amazing!!! I am so excited to buy one now!!! thank you!! :) just as an fyi if u live in the states....i would be a little hesitant about buying cosmetics from another country so anyone reading this might want to consider buying the 120 palette from bhcosmetics.com. the palettes are made & shipped from the states which gives me a little more reassurance that the colors would be...cleaner? i dnt know...it just makes me feel better when i put them on :)
ReplyDeleteI really want one of these palettes, they seem really cool. I hope to get one soon so I will be able to do tons of new looks! :D
ReplyDeletehey, i have the same palette but one of my colours broke i dont know how but when i opened it i found the purple colour brocken. the colours r very soft the easily brake.
ReplyDeletei recently got this pallette from ebay for around £7.00, and when it arrived there was slight damage to only one eyeshadow, the colours are good, although i agree that the matte colours need a few layers to show properly.its a great bargain, would def buy again if i ever finish the current one i have.
ReplyDeleteBoth me and my sister have 120 palettes with no names on. I bought it from Ebay and she bought it from a seller in my country paying over 2 times more then i did on my palette. The truth is that they are different! My palette's color payoff is crappy as hell ! Pigments lack , eyeshadows too chalky, hard. The colors on my lid seem like they have been rubbed off , very few pigment actually stays on.. i simply hate it. And in comparison my sister's palette is better but still she dont get as much color payoff as we see in tutorials and reviews .. ! i dont know about the branded 120 palettes , i just ordered one from BH cosmetics and i may come again and write whats my opinion on that more expensive branded one.
