Sigma BeautyMini Eyeshadow Palette – Limited-Edition Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Makeup Eyeshadow Palette with Matte, Metallic, and Shimmer Finishes, Includes Dual-Ended Brush and Built-In Mirror

The pigments in the pallet are stunning. I wore this to the Disney parks and my eyeshadow didn’t budge at all!

The Beauty and the Beast eyeshadow palette from Sigma is really cute. The palette itself is cute, the eyeshadows are quite pigmented, but there's only a few colors to work with here. I had to get out another palette to incorporate some lighter colors into my eyeshadow look. While blending these colors out, I experienced a good bit of fall out and had to wipe away all the excess that ended up under my lower lash line. Even with an eyeshadow primer, the dark colors ended up looking very patchy. The other eyeshadow palette I have from Sigma was very impressive, but unfortunately this one missed the mark for me.

This great little set has all the colors you need for several basic day-to-evening styles. There's nothing wild, but it has just what you need for a variety of fresh, cute looks for every occasion. The colors are rich and creamy, some with a beautiful sheen, and they go on like smooth buttah~! I don't typically like going spendy on my makeup, but when it comes to eyeshadow I usually don't mind spending more because it's so close to my eyes that I want it to be of good quality. This shadow is rich and creamy and needs very little product to make a whole lot of color pop! It stays on all day and comes off clean at night, which means a lot to me. The miniature size also makes it a great choice for travelling when you just new a few things to pop into your bag for an overnight stay. Definitely a must in your travel toolkit!

(Update: editing my review as I believe the original description (brush and mirror included) was an error. They contacted me after my review was posted - the description was changed, and they offered a full refund, which seemed an ethical thing to do.Still think it is too pricey)First, the positives:The set is absolutely lovely. Packaging is very attractive, definitely suitable for gifting. Both the shadow case itself, and the outer box it is slipped into, are pretty and of good quality cardboard.Each shadow that I have tried goes on smoothly, and has rich pigments (not at all chalky).The embossed designs are very cute - almost a shame to rub over them.Then, the issues:The listing heading stated that the set included a mirror and a brush - the set I received most definitely did not have these.There is no latch on the shadow case - so unless you slip it into the outer box I would not recommend this for travel (guess you could rubber band it if need be). There is nothing to keep it from flopping open in a make-up bag.Overall, for 32 it is just an OK value, especially as the promised mirror and brush were not included. Disney merch is pricey; if buying as a gift for a Beauty & the Beast fan it would be a nice (though expensive) stocking stuffer.

This comes in a beautiful outer product box. It’s made in China. Ingredients are listed on the box, but they’re on one of the sides of the box, and they’re VERY small. I have perfect eyesight and they’re still hard to read. The ingredients are NOT on the actual palette, so would need to keep the box if feel you’d want to look at ingredients later on at some point.The palette is cardboard with magnetic closure. It has a beautiful look to it that fits the Beauty and the Beast theme. It is a deep navy blue with flowers and vines. Inside, there is a protective plastic cover over that shades that is clear but has the same design as the front of the palette. There’s no mirror. Inside is a reflective gold with roses drawn on the lid and kind of silhouette shapes of Belle and the Beast dancing on one side and the other characters (Lumière, Mrs. Potts, and Cogsworth) on the other side. There’s 7 shades. Some of them have special stamping on them - a book, Belle, the Beast, and Cogsworth - the others just have “SIGMA” stamped on them. Of course, as soon as I started using the shades with the stamping goes away. But, still gives them a beautiful look initially. It really is a beautiful looking palette, for anyone who loves Beauty and the Beast or for someone who just really likes the color story.This is a mini palette, but it’s really long and thin. Most mini palettes I have are small, square ones that have like 4 shades or 8 with 2 rows of 4. This has 7 shades going straight across. So it’s a long, thin palette. I honestly would prefer more of a smaller, square one than a long, thin rectangular one like this. But, that’s just personal preference.There’s 3 shimmers and 4 mattes. I did swatches of each shade. They’re finger swatches on my bare forearm (no primer, lotion, etc.). Each shade is 1 swipe!I’ve tried Sigma’s formula before and love it. This mini palette did not disappoint!I’m very fair. For me, most of the mattes are mid tones and deeper tones. There aren’t lighter shades some would want for transition or blending. For me, I don’t mind that. I just use a lighter hand and less product, and can make any shade into a transition shade. But, I like to mention it for those that do. The lightest matte shade in this is “Cogsworth,” which is a warm, mid-tone kind of caramel shade. If I don’t pick up much and use a very light hand, I can use this as my transition shade no problem. The next one would be “Bookworm,” which is a neutral leaning warm brown shade. Again, if I don’t pick up much and use a light hand, this can also work as a transition shade. But, it can also work as a deepening shade for me as well. Then there’s a dark navy blue and a dark neutral to cool toned brown (“Forbidden”). I’m very cool toned, so finding browns that are neutral is hard, but finding ones neutral to cool is even harder. So I was excited to find 1 in this palette! I thought I had found 2 because when I swatched “Bookworm,” it looked like it was more neutral to cool, but once applied on my eyes, it looked more neutral to warm toned. So that was a bummer. But I’m still happy it’s not too warm toned, and very happy I found at least 1 neutral to cool toned brown (“Forbidden”) in this palette!The mattes are soft, smooth, and pigmented. There is some kickup in the pan. They’re softly pressed, but not so soft they’re extremely messy. For example, if you’ve ever tried ABH’s formula, that’s very softly pressed and can be pretty messy with all the kickup in the pan, but Sigma’s isn’t that softly pressed. It’s soft enough where it picks up mattes easily whether it’s a synthetic or natural brush and there is some kickup, but not so soft it’s messy and getting everywhere. Hopefully that makes sense. They’re pigmented, but they’re so smooth and blend out so easily. Even the deeper shades are easy to work with. Like the navy blue, sometimes deep blues can be tricky to deal with, but this one applies smooth and blends easily and evenly without looking patchy.The shimmers are also beautiful. 2 of them are more traditional, standard shimmer shades - “Belle” is a beautiful very soft yellow gold and “Enchantress” is a beautiful old fashioned gold (greenish gold). The 3rd shimmer (“Be Our Guest”) is more of a metallic with micro glitter. It’s a beautiful rose gold color with micro glitter that looks like specks of silver and purple. It’s a beautiful shade! Definitely my favorite shimmer!All the shimmers apply very smooth. They pick up easily with a brush or finger. The 2 more traditional shimmers - Once applied, I can’t tell a difference between the 2. They both look like standard shimmers. But to the touch, they feel slightly different. “Belle” is a little softer, more kind of dry feeling. Kind of had a thicker texture where it could be kind of crumbly/flaky, but it smoothed out nicely and didn’t look thick, dry, or textured when applied. “Enchantress” feels thinner and smoother when touched. But, applies nice and smooth and doesn’t look dry or textured on the eyes. The 3rd shimmer (“Be Our Guest”) feels smooth and almost kind of wet feel to it. It applies nice and smooth. Glides on easily. Even though it has micro glitter in it, I don’t feel it at all. It doesn’t have a gritty feel to it at all. And it doesn’t emphasize texture on the lids at all. All 3 shimmers look nice and smooth. They don’t look flaky or have any kind of fallout.Overall, I really enjoy this palette! I think they did Beauty and the Beast justice with the look of the palette and the color story is nice! The shades all perform well, easy to work with, and last on the eyes well.

So yes, the description isn't accurate, but most people do not use the eyeshadow brush or mirror provided, realistically, so hopefully they amend that so people can focus on the quality of the makeup. I found the pigment good quality for a buildable look, they blend well and are designed to create custom looks. If you like experimenting and playing with makeup, this will suit you very well. If you just want to pick a colour and quickly brush it on in one take, this isn't for you. This is for the patient make-up lover, who enjoys taking their time and gets a lot out of the self-care of looking good. I love the colours, they are versatile but wearable. After years of seeing nothing but neon and crazy colours, I'm so glad to see something in the romantic aesthetic at this quality.
