It took me awhile to buy this palette and when I did I got it on sale. A few years back I got the Saint & Sinner palette and while I was blown away by how beautiful the color story was, the packaging was stunning, and the vibes were there... I couldn't get on board with the formula. I had such a hard time with it lasting on my eyes unlike any shadow I have tried. The weird part was after having it for over a year or two I tried again and liked it more. It's almost like the formula ages like a fine wine but in cosmetics that's not something you particularly want. I was drawn to the Edge of Reality palette once again like the last palette because of the shades and beautiful packaging. The price point with the risk of not liking it like before kept me from buying until the sale. I had heard good things about this one though so that was a plus! So what you need to know is this is a great palette! I'm super happy with my purchase. The mattes are a softer formula but
