Celestial Nirvana

Pat McGrath Celestial Nirvana Mega MTHRSHP Eyeshadow Palette is a new, limited edition holiday eyeshadow palette with 18 mattes and shimmers. It has the best matte/shimmer balance of all of the brand’s big palettes. It is a more vibrant palette, albeit the shimmers were more neutral, and would most likely be most adaptable when mixed with other eyeshadow palettes. The overall quality was decent, with no big duds but a few hues that might have been better.
