I think this is a perfect palette if you are looking to try out PML eyeshadows. Each time I use any of the eyeshadows, I always get compliments. I chose this palette because I love warm toned palettes and I could incorporate it into my everyday looks. I already mentioned this earlier but they are all incredibly pigmented and such a joy to use especially if you are so fed up of underwhelming eyeshadow shades. There are four metallic shades and one semi-matte shade. The names sound so naughty but I love them. The eyeshadow shades in this palette include: S inful (gold metallic ), Gold Nectar ( golden bronze metallic ), Sextrovert ( bronze metallic ), Illicit (d eep brown matte with gold sparkles ) and Corruption ( bronze duo chrome). PML describes the Ecstasy palettes as a curated collection of 5 cult classic shades with hues and texture that apply in a single saturated swipe. This was the first PML Ecstasy Palette I purchased and I have absolutely love using it. Pat McGrath Eye Ecstasy Sublime Eyeshadow Palette // Link // £22 (On sale for £11) They have a cream infused powder finish and I think this is why they are very pigmented and lasting power. You can use your finger or a brush to apply but I prefer using an eyeshadow brush. The eyeshadows swatch well both on your hand and on the eyelid (most importantly). There are some fall outs from the shimmer shades but nothing too terrible. I tend to use eyeshadow primers for all my eyeshadows but I feel you can skip eyeshadow primers and still get great results. They are well pigmented, easy to apply and last all day. I have to say they did not disappoint at all and I daresay they exceeded my expectation. I had heard so many god things about PML eyeshadows and how pigmented they were so I was looking forward to testing these palettes out. Each eyeshadow weighs 1g and there are five eyeshadows in each palette. The palette has the name of each eyeshadow at the back of the palette. All Pat McGrath Lab (PML) products come with sequins in the outer packaging which appears to be the brand's signature so you have to be careful not to spill them all over the floor. As it is a white plastic palette, it could get messy over time but it can be wiped clean with a wipe and if you want to be extra (like me), then you can use an oil based micellar water for a deeper wipe. The palettes look like they will be perfect for travelling due to their compact size. The packaging has the PML brand embossed on it.

I do prefer palettes that have mirrors because it is easier to use nevertheless I don't personally think it is a deal breaker. It comes in a small white plastic packaging and there is no mirror. Now that I have used the palettes for a little while, I realise that the simple packaging is actually realistic and it has grown on me. I have to say the first time I received the palette I was a little underwhelmed by the packaging because it looked slightly different from what it appeared like on the website.
