I didn't intend to make this comparative review, but I can't not point out that this palette has some amazing ABH Master Palette by Mario eyeshadow dupes. If you wanted to get that limited edition palette and missed out, you can definitely find some solid dupes in this palette if you can find it.
The Glow Must Go On Palette was released in the spring of 2016 and retails for about $10 CAD. It's harder to find this palette because I believe it's limited edition as well but it was available on the US essence website and I think it's in some Canadian drugstores.

The bronzing shades are formula-wise, very similar to their Master Palette Dupes. The eyeshadows might be similar colours, but I find they are not similar in formula to the master palette. They're more dry and the pigment blends away. The shade cinnamon is a complete fail and the shade sandalwood is okay but the everything else was a complete win. I can barely tell a difference on my arm between the dupes found in the bronzer shades.
| Essence | ABH | Comparison |
|---|---|---|
| Sandalwood | Violeta | Both super pigmented but Sandlewood blends away too easily. Sandlewood is darker and more purple in undertone than Violeta. |
| Honey Glow Highlighter | 5th Avenue | Only similarity is the gold undertone. Otherwise not that similar. |
| Cinnamon | Isabelle | Only similarity is orange undertone. Cinnamon is that pigmented and is dry and chalky. Isabel is darker and far more pigmented |
| Lightest Bronzer | Marina | Near complete dupe. Marina is more foiled and less orange than compared shade. |
| Middle Bronzer | Kim | Near compete dupe. Kim is less shiny and more orange than compared shade, which is more shiny and more gold. Beautiful. |
| Darkest Bronzer | Muse | Not that similar in colour. Muse is a rose gold and the compared shade is more copper than rose in undertones. Both same sheen level though. |

 Ignore the cracked mirror - it has nothing to do with me or essence.  |
I'm overall really impressed with this palette. My recommendation is to buy this palette for the highlighter and bronzer because they're great. You saw the swatches - stunning. You can completely create some exact looks that you can create using the Master Palette by Mario.
