Hello!
I'll be the first to admit that Tammy Tamura's eyeshadow palettes are always a bit of an enigma. Her Rabbit's Horrowods initially left me scratching my head, wondering if I should give it a try.
This palette is probably the most polarizing one I've come across.
Packaging-wise, each palette comes beautifully wrapped in extra paper, tied with a ribbon. If you want, you can skip the packaging.
Design-wise, the palette itself is pretty straightforward – a simple milk carton with a rabbit silhouette. The paper's not super thick, and it's actually see-through. It's also super prone to getting dirty. The packaging quality is pretty poor for daily use.
The lid closes with magnets, but it can easily open, and the refills from the palette can fall out. Inside, it's really pretty, but the packaging is marred. You can't wipe the paper clean, and the palette gets dirty really quickly. There's no mirror or brushes.Weight of the product: ~7 grams

Composition
Color palette-wise, it's not entirely standalone – it's more of a seasonal palette. I'd say it's tied to this particular event, which makes sense.
Texture/pigmentation/application/performance-wise:
Matte shades get dusty when you apply them, but they're easy to blend and build up. The pigmentation is great, and they're easy to set with powder. They look amazing on the skin and get a nice, even color.Satin with a brush shades are easy to apply with your fingers, but they're a bit more prone to fallout. They work really well with a brush, though, and blend nicely into the matte finish.Press shades are a bit tricky to get a good, even application, but using a sticky base helps. Otherwise, they're similar to the satin shades.Using a base is a must – the eyeshadows look way better when you use a base. They apply more evenly and smoothly.
Using a primer is optional.
Swatching on dry skin without a base or primer:
#118 profile shade "Triumph of Light"
I'm really loving the satin purple shade – it's a beautiful, clean lavender.
119 profile shade "Bluebird"
The matte purple is really dark and dense, almost dusty.
120 profile shade "Nomad of the Desert"
The dark purple satin has these gorgeous pink sparkles.
This gorgeous, bright pink-blue prism is a real showstopper – I love how it catches the light.
122 profile shade "Kislinka"
This young grass-like shade is a real winner – it's so smooth and satin-like.
123 no profile shade
This matte, bog-like green is a real stunner – it's so unique and eye-catching.
124 profile shade "Feytkovshitsa"
This satin-like, green foliage is a real winner – it's so smooth and realistic.

Longevity-wise, I've noticed a lot of people complaining about Tammy's shadows, saying they fade, crease, and lose their vibrancy over time. Not me, though – I'm thrilled to report that's not my experience.
While the prism does crease a bit, it's minimal, and the color and transparency of the product make it almost imperceptible to others, even when I'm doing a demo.
Demo removal is a breeze – the product leaves no residue.
Value for money-wise, the palette is a decent size, so it's not going to run out anytime soon. The shadows are highly pigmented, which means they're still looking great even after multiple uses. The shimmers have a great press, and they transfer well to the lid, which also helps minimize waste. All in all, I think the palette will last a long time, considering these products aren't everyday wear for most people.
I'm really happy with the quality of this palette. Sure, the shadows do tend to fall apart a bit, but a quick swish with a brush usually sorts them out. It's definitely better to do your eye makeup first, then your face.
The color range is a bit hit-or-miss for me, but I do think it's beautiful and the shades all work well together.
As for how long it lasts, I haven't had any issues myself, but I've heard some people complaining.
For me, this palette is a winner. It's genuinely interesting and easy to use.
But the price? I think it's a bit steep. It's even more expensive than some high-end brands like ABH, Natasha Denona, and Jeffree Star, especially when you consider the amount of product you get and the number of shades.
Don't get me wrong, I do like this palette and I'm glad I have it, but the packaging? It's a disaster.
I'm not sure if the overall value is worth a full 5 stars.
Thanks for reading!
