I’m a bit of a palette collector. I tend to gravitate more toward the bold and colorful palettes, but nothing beats a nice neutral palette. It’s always good to have a few good neutral palettes for those days you don’t have time to fuss over a look. The problem is I rotate through the few neutral palettes I do have and it can get a little boring. That is until this baby landed on my doorstep! The It Cosmetics Superhero Eye Transforming Anti-Aging Super Palette! Talk about a mouthful, eh? Let’s see what’s inside!
The shadows are enclosed in a sleek black cardboard packaging. It’s fairly sturdy, but keeping this palette open was a bit of a problem. Getting that photo of it open was very time consuming. It just didn’t want to stay open. You really have to bend that cover back to keep it from closing on you.
This palette contains 3 Superhero Eye Foundation Eyeshadows that color-correct , neutralize and smooth for perfectly prepped lids, 3 Superhero Nudes, 3 Superhero Neutrals, and 3 Superhero Liners. The shadows are infused with hydrolyzed collagen, silk, peptides, antioxidants, and groundbreaking Superhero Pigment Power Technology! It is said to work well for all skin tones. I found the shadows to be soft and velvety. The Liners were a little on the dry side, but most liner shades in palettes are. Well, to me they are anyway. Aside from that they were all fairly pigmented. I really don’t know if I’d say SUPER pigmented though. I did experiment a bit and applied some of them wet and it makes a world of a difference! Seriously, wet your brush a bit, dip it in Superstar, pat it onto your lid, it’s a beautiful shadow!
You can see a look I created with the It Cosmetics Superhero Eye Transforming Super Palette below. I used Confidence as my base. I tried this same look twice, once using Confidence as my base, and once without using a Foundation Eyeshadow as my base. The Foundation Eyeshadow actually does make the shadows pop more. Anyway, I applied Superstar on my lid, Fearless in my crease, Pow! on the inner corner of my eye and as my highlight, and Bold on my lower lash line. I assure you that Superstar looks so much more pigmented and prettier in person. It’s easily my favorite shadow in the palette. If you get the chance to swatch it in person, do so! You’ll see what I mean! My camera tends to pick up on the shimmer more than anything.
I also want to take a moment to talk about the Heavenly Luxe® No-Tug® Dual Eyeshadow Brush #5. This dual ended eyshadow brush includes an all-over brush on one end and a smudge brush on the other end. They’re incredibly soft like all of the other It Cosmetics brushes I’ve had the luxury of trying. The smudge brush isn’t at all harsh on your lower lash line and the tip is fine enough for precise application. It’s definitely one of the nicer smudge brushes I’ve used.
Overall I’d have to say that it’s a nice neutral palette with some really beautiful shadows. It will make an excellent addition to my collection. So if you’re a neutral palette lover be on the lookout for this New Limited Edition palette! Last I checked it was available on the Ulta website for $42.00.
I know that the Superhero thing addresses the anti-aging claims and all that, but I do still miss the superhero colors, like blue and red when I look at it.

I don’t think Superhero colors are limited to just blue and red. Well, I guess it would depend on the Superhero lol.
Ooh, I really like the look of this palette and the look you created is so pretty xx

Thank you so much! :)
I love neutral palettes, i got them coming out of my ears but I want them all. Never tried IT Cosmetics eyeshadows before and this palette looks like a great way to start.
ps: Did you hear L’Oreal bought IT Cosmetics? Do you think the quality will change?

I did hear that! I hope not! I was reading through some of the comments and it seems lots of customers are concerned, but whoever manages the account insisted nothing would change.
Nice review Lisa. I am a bummer when it comes to makeup :(
Awww thank you!
The packaging is so cute! I love the idea behind this. The pictures were worth the fuss because they look great!

Well that’s an interesting palette with a concept that sets it apart from all the other neutral palettes. So is the formula supposed to have antiaging skincare properties?

Yes it’s an anti-aging formula. I had to leave the anti-aging part out of the title because it was already too long lol.
That’s a lovely neutral palette! It pairs so well with that lip color, too.
