ColourPop Cloud 9 Palette is a new, smoky/gray color story in a 12-pan format. The quality was as expected for ColourPop, though I'd say the shimmers felt a bit firmer and were more emollient while being on the thinner side, which is not my favorite texture from the brand as I find it doesn't work...
Here are swatches of three smaller-format holiday palettes from Guerlain, Tom Ford, and Natasha Denona, respectively. Guerlain and Natasha Denona's formulas both felt comparable to past releases, while the Tom Ford quad felt drier, thinner, and was generally a miss.

Danessa Myricks I Am Lightwork V Palette is a new, limited edition release for the holidays, which includes various finishes but all with a fairly high level of shimmer/sparkle. The formula seemed on the thicker side with a few shades being flakier (which is a type of texture that can be harder to...
Dior Holiday 2023 Color Collection is a new, limited edition launch that included several products, including two new eyeshadow palettes and two blushes, which are the pieces I purchased for review. Everything seemed decent - not particularly out of line with past releases but not the "best of"...
Rabanne debuted makeup earlier this month, including 10 eyeshadow duos and four eyeshadow quads. There were some other products that launched as well, but these were the ones I purchased for review. Here are swatches of all of the quads! :)
