Flowers In The Palette...ETUDE HOUSE & Rose Flowering Eyes Palette

I can't believe it has been almost a month since my last post...where does the time go?! My beauty blogging absence first started when I came down with a really bad cold. Then, add a hectic work schedule, my immune system was quickly reminded that it wasn't completely recovered; thus, causing me to come down with an even worse flu/fever that morphed into this "space alien cold" from the far reaches of the galaxy that resulted in an eye infection. I've never had an illness cause an eye infection, have you?

I purchased Etude House's & Rose Flowering Eyes Palette back in September, but I finally cracked it open last month since I felt the shades in the palette were more to my liking for Spring.

This is my first eye shadow palette from Etude House and, I must admit, I had zero expectations. Actually, in all honesty, the sole reason I picked up the & Rose Flowering Eyes Palette was for the eyeshadow shades Blossom, Gloomy and Poison; that deep wine red and those purples were just shouting my name. After using the & Rose Flowering Eyes Palette, I must say, I really like this little dark horse of a palette. The texture of the shadows are way better than expected; surprisingly, they're somewhat buttery, soft and pigmented.
