All Amethyst
ColourPop All Amethyst 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a new, limited edition purple-themed palette with five more matte eyeshadows and four more shimmery eyeshadows housed in a cardboard compact. One of the shimmer eyeshadows was packed with silicones, which is something I have found results in uneven application, but the remaining shades performed fairly well.
Ingredients
Brilliant
Brilliant is a whitish lavender with strong, cool undertones and a pearly sheen. It had medium pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin. The texture was smooth, moderately emollient and more silicone-heavy. It lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$4.50/0.05 oz. – $90.00 Per Ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours.
The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush.

Feb’s Gem
Feb’s Gem is a medium-dark pink with cool undertones and a matte finish. It felt slightly firmer in the pan, so I had to use a heavier hand to pick up product evenly, but I didn’t have issues diffusing the edges in practice. It had full color coverage that wore well for eight hours on me.
