Hello dear readers and beauty junkies! :3. Today I want to tell you about the Golden State Of Mind Eyeshadow palette by ColourPop which has the wrong naming, I think (but I’ll speak about it later).
I started my acquaintance of this brand with this palette. Analyzing my choice I came to the conclusion that I’m reckless enough to leave the famous Super Shock mono packed eyeshadows opened after use which will lead to the immediate drying out of the texture. I also concluded that all the hit palettes they offered were more or less ringing the bell with those palettes that I’ve already had in my collection. But one day I saw this “treasure” shimmer palette and quickly understood that I need this unique beauty for me (I adore everything shining and sparkling + I guess this is the spring affecting me as well).
Package
As far as I know all the ColourPop eyeshadow palettes have one and the same cardboard, lightweight and small packages. They are all rather reliable as the refill pans never fall out (I’ve never checked if they are magnetic or not). If you want you can always open up the palette 180 degrees which makes the palette so easy to hold in hands. 
It’s true that the pans don’t have the written names under them though all the names of the shades are given at the back side of the palette. For me that’s okay.

Contents
At first sight you might think that there are too many shimmer and warm-toned shades to the palette. Though it isn’t actually true. In life most of the shades have cool-toned silver undertone and cast.
I want to warn you that the brightness or contrast ratio of some pictures can be different as I did it intentionally to show you the beauty of all the shades and their casting.
I want to separate the palette into three rows in my mind
The upper row (the shades from left to right):
beigy-brown base infused with big blue and small silver glitter. Wet effect
big well pressed blue and dark blue glitter over light blue base color. Topper shade
small pink, blue, purple and silver shimmer over a fair case shade. Looks as though lit from within...
Based on the copper-bronze color it's silver shimmer infused. Wet effect
yellow-peach pink and silver well pressed shimmer shade over the gentle peachy base color. Topper shade
The middle row:
Peach base color with silver shimmer particles. Wet effect
Vinous-pink base with a lot of golden shimmer
brown based color with big silver shimmer bits
copper base shade with small silver shimmer bits
small golden glitter over brown dark red shade. Wet effect
The lower row:
small silver shimmer bits over bold brown-honey base color. Can be used alone
pink silver shimmer over the purple-brown base color
golden shimmer shade over some brown-copper base. (it looks a little like a Tinker Time, though this one has golden top)
blue and silver small shimmer that has copper-pink base shade
purple and blue small glitter over a yellow brown base shade
Best of all the products apply over a primer with a patting motion. If you follow this technique you’ll see the maximum of the color payoff of the shades on the skin.
I can’t say that they are easy to use as the shades differ in quality.
The glitter shades may fall out a little, so it’s better to apply them with a wet flat synthetic makeup brush. The shimmer shades are difficult to translate on the skin since they don’t want to sit there and stay on the finger showing the maximum of color only on the fingertips.
The products in the refills are very soft so one touch is usually enough to apply to one eye.
I’m rather delighted with the quality of the shades and I can’t say that I’ve ever experienced any discomforting feelings while wearing the products. I really like to experiment with them! 
I can’t come up with the full makeup using only this palette but I usually use these shades as an accent on my eyes. I use it everyday.
I recommend you try the ColourPop Golden State of Mind eyeshadow palette if you want to make your makeup look shiny and glittery.
So, that’s all from me. I wish you always create very beautiful and exquisite makeup looks! Enjoy spring and have a nice mood!
