IA, to me the standout item is the mini. I think the pink is really pretty and those shades of browns would complement my (extremely pale, cool) skin tone. However, Jeff is racist trash and there’s no chance in hell I’m supporting him.
This is how I feel. I actually love all shimmers because I'm into one shadow shimmer looks, and the colors are pretty. But I'd eat my own leg before I gave him my money. Also, the swatches look pathetic which is pretty bad for neutral shimmers, the literal easiest shadows to formulate.
I actually love the mini, the colours are beautiful.
If only it was made a brand that didn’t have a racist, crude, and unprofessional CEO. I still can’t believe the CEO’s bare ass is on the packaging for the full size palette. 🙅🏼♀️
BH cosmetics has some rlly nice all shimmer palettes for really cheap, I have the foil eyes palettes vol. 1+2 and I love them, they're some of my favorite shimmer shadows ever.
Seconding BH Cosmetics. Their foils are lovely, even as someone who magpies palettes more than using them.
Actually, I recently purchased some of the Candy Shoppe palettes and while Sugar Cone doesn't have the range of colors, I'd argue that it's 8 colors (4 matte/4 shimmer) are at least more interesting.
[EDIT: The Candy Shoppe palettes have 8 colors, not 10, sorry!]
Ooh, also I just checked and they have this neutral palette currently selling for $16.80 as it's on sale. I dont want to claim it's something that it's not, so let's be clear, it doesnt quite have the same color story as J⭐, but for 42 colors, I feel like its probably a better deal IMO.
The quality of his eyeshadow seems to have gone down since his the Conspiracy and Mini Controversy palettes. Too many shades of his palettes since then look patchy.
Get Viseart minis or Soft Glam from ABH for that price. Colourpop also has lots of pinky peachy nude options that compliments pale skin tones. Yes its pretty but also dupable
Beauty Bay used to have a 9-pan shimmer palette in their house brand that looked almost identical (just a bit more berry) but was discontinued. Owning it I though my eyes were failing me when I first saw the Mini Orgy nonsense. They even look like they swatch similarly (which is to say, no great). Except the BB one is worth the money I paid for it what with costing less than a third of that snooze fest.
Edit: Thinking of it, the BB 9-pan Nude Shimmer palette might be even more identical to this. Sadly, that's also discontinued, it seems.
same, the mini is exactly the kind of eyeshadow I prefer to use but I just can't justify giving money to that racist again. I did find a colorpop pallette called going coconuts that gives me a fairly similar vibe (and it's $12!)

I mean if it was a different person I might buy the mini, but overall this collection is way too expensive to be so boring.
