Following up with my previous post, here's the promised swatches of my WnW "Comfort Zone" palette I got. Do note that these swatches were done without any base; you can probably tell from the pigmentation why everyone is raving about these eyeshadows.
What my palette looks like, with the top right shadow quite cleanly knocked out of its pan. :) But I don't mind, I can still use the little bit that's left.
The left column of eyeshadows, the neutrals side:
Oh gosh, I LOVE everyone of these neutral shades. The highlighter colour is such a buttery soft gold-white, and the peach is just nice for those simple "shimmering-eye-with-winged-eyeliner" looks, and the last almost-black colour looks almost like MAC's "Beauty Marked"! I can probably sell away my "Beauty Marked" already, because this fella's pigmentation pwns MAC's!
The right column of eyeshadows, the green side:
See the duochrome on the last shade on the right?!
And again, I adore all the shades, though I probably won't reach for the lightest green shade much. When I swatched the highlighter shade, I immediately regretted that it was almost all gone from the pan, cos it's soooo pretty and shimmery! The dark forest green with gold glitter is awesome too, and needless to say, my fav would be the last shade with its teal duochrome. It's said to be a dupe of MAC's "Club" e/s.
A thing to note is that because the pigmentation is so good, it may stain your lids (or fingers in my case); make sure to cleanse the e/s off properly! :)

Now onto the LOTDs that I wore to school last using this palette. Sorry if the photos had weird colouring or bad quality - I had to use my iPhone to snap the pics, cause I don't bring my camera to the dorm with me.
LOTD #1
I brushed on a washing of the peach shade all over my eyelids, and lined my eyes thickly with the duochrome brown-teal shade.
Can you spot the cool teal shimmer in the last 2 pics? How amazing is that, ha ha!
LOTD #2
Green eye makeup to go with my green polo T. Here I used the light gold-green shade on the lids, the dark forest green to contour my outer V and the shimmery taupe highlighter at my tear ducts! Oh, and I used Urban Decay's 24/7 Liner in "Covet" as a base, to make the green pop.
LOTD #3
So I was wearing a taupe-coloured top yesterday, hence I decided to matchy-match my eyes. The taupe highlighter shade went all over my eyelids, and the darker sable brown contour shade was used to contour my outer V. Additionally, I used a matte taupe shade form my 88 palette to blend the two e/s together.
I seriously love the taupe highlighter shade. ): Kinda sad now that there's so little left in the pan, but given the chance, I'd purchase another "Comfort Zone" palette along with the other two!
One warning of caution though. The e/s are incredibly INCREDIBLY soft. I understand now how they get so easily damaged during shipping, cause they seem to crumble at just a single nudge! I think this palette would be gone if SG was to have an earthquake. =\ Touchwood. But you get the idea how soft it is! All in all, I think this palette is worth all the hype and raves it's getting, and if you can get your hands on it, please allow yourself this purchase!!
Thanks for reading this post, hope you enjoyed it! :D
