the 3rd edition consist of mainly neutrals and some pastel colours, the 2nd edition consist of mainly bright/bold colours and a bit of neutrals.
im pretty satisfied with the purchase as the colours are quite pigmented in general. the frosted eyeshadows have better pigmentation, as usual, compared to the matte eyeshadows. some of the matte eyeshadows have pretty good pigmentation, and some not, for instance the yellows, you'll definately need a yellow base for the yellows to show up.
i wouldn't recommand doing the whole eye makeup with just the 120 palette alone as the finished look seems kinda flat ( i did 2 looks, one using all matte and another look using some matte and some frosted. will try and post pictures of it as i didnt take any photos ). i feel it's better to use, for example, the 120 palette for the lid and highlight and other brands like MAC or Shu for crease, it looks more 3-dimensional, more depth [ if you get what i mean ].
also, there's a couple of colours that's pretty similar. example, there's 2 butter frosted shadows, one of it is more of a golden tone and the other one is more of a yellowish tone. so if you do purchase, you might find that a few of the shades are quite close.
shipping was pretty fast, about a week or so. everything came in good condition, in a cardboard box filled with brown paper. the palette is sloted in a bubble wrap sleeve followed by the BH cosmetics packaging then another bubble wrap around it. the total cost for the 2nd edition is about SGD58 ( inclusive of half of the shipping fee ) and about SGD63 ( inclusive of half of the shipping fee ) as there's a 20% discount for the Valentines period =D
overall it's a worthwhile purchase if you wanna try out tons of different colours yet not spending tons of money.
