Review : Etude House Play Color Eyes Juice Bar

Hello friends! I have some good and bad news today for the product that I'll be reviewing. It is over one of my newest eye shadow palettes and unfortunately, it got slightly destroyed before I could even use/review it for you guys. I was carrying it around throughout the short school day to use after school then it slipped out of my hands and broke apart. It's another Etude House product and I believe there is 2 other versions of it but different themed (with different colors). I've actually wanted to get this item for quite a while but have not found the chance to until I made an order from the main site (Etude House). As sad as I am about the destroyed product, there is nothing I can do, but I tried to fix/clean it up a bit to show you guys and I'll provide pictures I found online of how it is supposed to originally look! Today's product that I'll be reviewing is the....
Etude House Play Color Eyes Juice Bar
First Impressions
When I first saw this product, it was through Etude House's promotion. At first, it did not really compel me but after gaining interest into eye shadow, I definitely wanted to add it to my collection. The colors seemed very vibrant, perfect for the opening of summer. I really liked the varieties of orange that it offered because I noticed, a lot of Koreans use orange colors to work as their natural look. I also watched a couple of unboxing/reviews of this product on YouTube and the palette seemed very cute with it's packaging and very slim, making it very transportable. I really liked the theme of the palette and feel like it gave off a refreshing and fruity theme, which made it look more appealing!
Texture/Pigmentation
The first time I touched this product was when it was destroyed after dropping on the ground. I tried to repair it by putting back some of the pieces that cracked off the main layer. When doing this, the product seemed to be very soft, creamy, and delicate. It was very hard to compact this product together unlike the Aritaum mono eyes eye shadow that came in cracked (I previously did a review over this). The texture is very thin and delicate to the point where it is very hard and almost impossible to compact/suppress this product back together. Surprisingly, this product is very pigmented even though the material it is made out of is very thin. When I was gathering up the mess and trying to put it back together, a lot of the product would get on my hand and it'd become really pigmented even though I barely touched some parts of it. I would also test swatch some of it and the colors are really strong, vibrant and pigmented. Below, I will show you the names of each of the 10 colors!

My favorite would be the "Muscle Mania" because it has a fun metallic chromotone to it like a bronze/gold color. For me, I personally like using 3 types of colors on my eyes to make a light to dark contrast going from the inner part of my eye to the outer part of my eyes then lining the bottom with a bright shimmer to give it a friendly look. If anything, I'd use the "Soft Peach" on the inside, blend the middle with "Muscle Mania" then either end the outer part with "Orange Peel" or "Raw Cacao". I really like the orange colors too, and they're super pigmented. I have not tried all of them but so far, the ones I've used last pretty long. When I swatch, it is very hard for it to come off/smudge without any make up remover used.
Pros
The Etude House Play Color Eyes Juice Bar definitely catches my eyes with its refreshing, summer colors. Each and every color does an excellent job in complimenting each other. There is surprisingly no color in the palette that does not match another color, in my opinion. I feel like the colors are all warm and light, which prevents your make up from looking heavy or tiring. The product is also very well pigmented along with long lasting. I must admit, it is very hard to wipe off the shimmer/glitters from some of them. I look at this as a benefit because it'll last longer throughout the day as you wear it. And as for the blending, it is very easy to apply and spread! It's texture is very smooth, making it easy to work with. The case/packaging/design is also very cute. I love how it has little orange slices adding it to make it more of a "Juice Bar" theme. The case is also very thin, making it light and easy to transport around.
Cons
Unfortunately, a con that this product has is that the texture is too thin. Having an eye shadow be too thin is not always a good thing because it is hard to compact or keep it together. After my palette dropped, the parts that seemed to be okay at first started to fall out. And when I tried to fix the broken areas, it was really hard to keep the compressed parts that I fixed together. Eventually, I had to give up on those parts and dispose it. These parts break out really easily because the product is very delicate. This delicate issue makes the product very messy if it is messed with at all.
Ratings4 out of 5 for the Etude House Play Color Eyes Juice Bar. I really love this product and wish I did not mistreat it. I love the blending colors and variety it has to offer me. Etude House really did well with the color choices for a nice summer touch! They work well together and give you a refreshing/bright summer complexion. This palette is best for summer but some of the darker colors could pass for a sultry fall look and the light peach/coral colors could work for a popping spring look. I really like the metallic colors and the bright shimmers that some of these colors carry. The pigmentation is very strong and it is very long lasting. It's packaging is super cute and makes me want to buy the other Etude House Play Color Eyes palettes! The only problem I have with it is the breaking and mess that the eye shadow makes if it is messed with. The product is too thin, making it hard to take care of, which made me waste some of the product by having to throw it out. Besides that, I love everything about this product and hope to discover more great details about this product as I continue to use it!
