Hey Guys, Today's post is the first of 2 on the Mac X Disney Aladdin Collection. The first one I have focused on just The Princess Jasmine Palette. I was so excited for this launch, Aladdin is my favourite Disney film and then to have it with make up - I was in heaven! That was until I swatched it, I have never been disappointed in a product before let alone a Mac product. So let's jump into the review, The packaging is absolutely gorgeous. It's completely in theme with new film (which if you haven't seen it yet, you need to! It's a must see!) It really does have gorgeous packaging, but it feels very cheap, very light and a lot smaller than it looks online. This palette has 9 shades; ♡No Ordinary Lamp - Light Rose ♡Creative Copper - Peachy Gold with Gold Shimmer ♡Agrabah - Cool Rose ♡Riffraff - Mauve ♡Rags To Riches - Pale Gold Frost ♡Life The Genie Life - Gunmental Silver ♡Princess Jasmine - Duochrome Blue Green with Red Undertone. ♡Abu! - Plum with Red Pearl ♡Shadowy Lady - Blackened Plum These shadows are just a disaster. To get swatches it took me so many swipes to build anything up for you too see. As you can see, some barely show up, some even when I have built them up are patchy & this was just to get them to swatch on the hands. So I decided to bite the bullet and still give it ago, but just as I thought when swatching it was just pure disappointment. Riffraff was the only one I was able to apply without it being too much trouble. It blended nicely with a bit of work it built up and looked fairly good. The rest of the shadows where very dry, didn't blend out nicely, had no pigmentation and then when you try to build them up there was a lot of fall out, they became uneven and would knock the first layer off. They where horrible to work with, the shimmers felt almost gritty on the eye, they didn't adhere well even when using different primers. I would give this a 1/10 and that's only because I like the palette's front design on the packaging. I don't recommend this palette and since writing this I have actually returned the palette to get a refund and I very rarely do that! Keep an eye out for my next Mac x Aladdin Collection which features both the Always One Jump Ahead Blush/Highlighter & Your Wish Is My Command Bronzer coming this week.

Gosh, that is so disappointing! MAC really had the potential to make this palette something great.
