These are just the cutest palettes. MIni credit card size palettes with makeup inside. The Card comes with four shadows and four lipcolors. You get soft peach(matte light peach), rose quartz(shimmery light pink), white peach(shimmery champagne) and deep aubergine(matte blackened purple) for the eyes. You get iced mocha(rose), cashmere(nude), sexy(light pink) and sundance(light bronze) for the lips. All in a sleek black compact with mirror perfect for the TM mini brush sets or in your bag. Great idea. Retails for $24. I dont love everything to buy in full size but for the mini palette, they are nice.

I love this set....I absolutely LOVE the eyeshadow colors!! There is a light matte peach color, a deeper shimmery rose-beige, a shimmery peach and a deep cocoa brown for lining. I dont use the lip colors mnuch because brown-neutrals don't look good on me but I would definitely buy the full size eyeshadows colors. I find the texture to be very soft and gives my eyes a subtle "glow" whenever I wear these colors - perfect for daytime!! found my HG daytime look!

It is true that TM has an eye for color like a Renaissance master. The four eyeshadows are gorgeous--Soft Peach, Rose Quartz, White Peach and Deep Aubergine would probably work on any complexion/coloring. Now the lip colors are another story. They have a nice texture, but they looked so pretty in the compact and terrible on my face. I ended up with flecks of the shadow all over the lipcolors as other reviewers have noted which is bad news. I am glad that I got this palette for free, I would have paid no more than $6-$8 and not a penny more. What a great concept except it just wasn't completely realized. On a good note however the eyeshadows are silky, blendable, and easy to work with. But as another reviewer noted, you still have to carry brushes around with you, so I'm not sure how compact it ends up being in the end. I suppose if you're just dying to try out some TM colors this would be the way to do that without your wallet taking a huge beating. I was lucky to get this palette NIB for free but there's no way I would have paid the retail price for it.

I'm so surprised that some folks didn't like the quality of this: I'm a tough sell, and I've been very pleased.
I've never tried Trish McEvoy products before, but I can see why she has a following. The eyeshadows are much softer than Shu or Nars, and as a result I can get a nicely colored eye with very little product. I'm olive/brunette and these colors gave me a polished look with enough impact that I wasn't washed out, that also wasn't overly pink or peachy.
Very impressed by the softness of the glosses, too: I'm used to palettes having a harder consistency, but these are soft and creamy. I use brushes to apply everything, so that may be why others had problems: these have stayed neat as a pin for me, but I can imagine that if you tried to dig in with fingers it could get messy fast. Use brushes and enjoy this great palette!

I want to love this palette, but ultimately have mixed feelings about it. The credit-card size/shape is a great idea. Love to have something small enough to put in a pocket or a tiny evening purse. I also don’t mind using my fingers, so lack of a brush isn’t a negative for me. The variety of versatile, neutral shadows (soft peach, rose quartz, white peach, deep aubergine) and lipcolors (iced mocha, cashmere, sexy, sundance) is good, and I agree with others that it’s an excellent way to try different Trish McEvoy products without shelling out a ton of cash. All that said, this product ultimately disappoints. Not only do the eyeshadow pigments migrate to the lipcolors—and let me tell you, aubergine eyeliner mixed with sundance lipgloss is a disastrous combination, but two of the shadows in my palette shattered through normal use, just carrying it around in my bag or pocket. (I never dropped it.) In sum: great idea, but the execution could be improved significantly. Glad I purchased it at half-price.

Trish McEvoy: The Card is the BOMB! It's perfect and meant for touch-ups and colors are great. Best way to try out product without over-spending- Quality is excellent!

The only reason I would buy this again is for the aubergine eye liner color. I've been using it for a while now and it's barely made a dent in the product. The color really brings out my blue eyes and somehow makes the white of my eyes brighter, love it! The downfall to the compact design is that the shadows tend to get into the lip product...gross.

Horrible, horrible overpriced at $24 for a tiny bit of makeup. I can only claim my mind was fried by too much X-mas shopping and I just couldn't resist. The product itself is fine. You get a tiny, wafer thin credit card sized compact that has 4 shadows and 4 glosses. The shadows are a matt pale peach, the suggested all over base color, shimmery white-beige, the suggested highlighter, shimmery pinky beige, the suggested crease color, and dark brown the liner. The colors look fine as suggested, a neutral, low key shimmery look. The lips are medium peachy pink with visible encrusted sparkle that I dislike, a surprising orangey peach that is nice very sheerly, but can go orange is applied heavily, a slighly pink gloss, and a slightly golden gloss. All of the products are high quality and wear well. The palette itself is horrible inpractical as it hard to using a finger in such close quarters would be hard and how can you line your eyes with a finger? So you still need to cart around some brushes. I never use anything up, but I feel confident it won't take long for me to use this one up. If it had be $10 which is what Urban Decay charges for their credit card palettes and they come with a tiny brush, I would have been thrilled. Even at $16, I would have grumbled, but probably sprung for a replacement when this ran out. But $24! Highway robbery.

I loved the size, the idea and the colors. But I couldn't really use the dk brown e/s to line because it caked up horribly. The other e/s were ok but nothing special. The lip colors were nice. Overall I'd rec this for someone to get familiar with the line. Or to give as gifts.

Very cute! This is a perfect palette for girls who have very limited room in their handbags or want something that will easily fit into a pocket. The colors are very pretty. Regarding the problems with keeping the colors neat, I have to agree. All things considered though, I find that it's only a minor draw back.

This is my first and only Trish product and I can't say I am really impressed. The eye shadow colors are fine I just don't like the quality. There is only one lipgloss that I like.
If you are a Trish fan, this is probably a good buy. It is very portable and the colors are neutral so they would go with just about anything. But don't forget to bring brushes.

I love The Card. I carry this with me to the gym and it has everything I need to create a full face (except for my foundation) after my workout. The shadows are gorgeous and the lipcolors are very flattering. It is the perfect on the go palette.

Agree with the sizes - a bit of a tight squeeze - mainly best for fingers and pointy brushes as shadows and glosses can migrate to other pans. Cute little palette, colors are lovely. Peach, Quartz, White Peach Shadows, & Aubergine definer. Iced Mocha (my Trish lip fave), camel (a git blah on me) Sexy & Sundance. Not my everyday kind of look, but really great for travel.

I think the card is adorable. Especially great for a minimalist or evening bag to carry for touch ups. All 8 colors are just beautiful. I give it a 3 in packaging quality because the e/s and lipsticks are so close together in the pallette eventually causing one to spread into the other, but for 24.00 it is a really chic and useful item and the colors are lovely. Check it out online at neimanmarcus.com or e-luxury.com

The Card has 4 eyecolors and 4 lipcolors for "infinite" combinations. The colors are great for almost all skintones and since it is so small, it can easily fit in a pocket or purse. The only drawback is also the size. You will inevitably end up with some lipcolor in an eyeshadow because the squares are very very small. Cute idea, though!
