Review: Sigma Warm Neutral Palette

Hello there beauties!

We were fortunate to receive one of Sigma's eyeshadow palettes and are excited to review it for you! The Warm Neutrals palette has twelve beautiful shades perfect for any occasion. If you want to check out this palette and others Sigma has to offer, check out their link below!
PIGMENTATION: 8/10

This palette has a nice variation of matte, satin, and frosty shades. I found that the frosty shades went on with extreme ease and the mattes were beautiful. However, some of the shades (Oyster Sand, Optimistic) weren't as pigmented as the rest. I had to layer a couple swipes of the product to get the saturation of color I was looking for.
LONGEVITY: 8/10
As with any other eyeshadow, I wore these over a base. They lasted well throughout the day with little to no movement, and no creasing. After 9-hour wear, the lighter shades unfortunately weren't as bright as when first applied. 
APPLICATION: 9/10
Butter. A word used to describe the texture of anything smooth and silky (and it is also a delicious addition to almost any meal). These eyeshadows apply like butter. I was surprised when even the mattes were almost cream-like in texture. Applying with brushes and fingers was equally as beautiful in texture. I did have a slight issue with building up the lighter colours, but they were mostly effortless.
PACKAGING: 9/10
The palette itself is simple with magnetic closure, a nice size mirror, and no unnecessary bells and whistles. I like that it doesn't come with a sponge-tip applicator or baby brush, they kept it simple. I find the amount of name placement on the packaging distracting, but to each their own.
OVERALL: 8.5/10
This palette is well rounded. There is a nice variation in the textures and finishes of the eyeshadows, and the shades vary from light to dark to make any type of look easy to achieve. The creamy consistency of the shadows along with the pigmentation most of the colours have makes it a great palette for the affordable cost. I am impressed by the overall performance of this palette and think anyone would enjoy having it in their kit.
