The mix of shades in this palette is beautiful - there's at least a couple of shades for everyone and the colors within the palette pair really well to create endless combinations. **Press Sample

I wasn't too sure of the cardboard packaging, but it does travel quite well and the magnetic closure makes sure it snaps in place. The metallic shades were all very smooth and easy to blend - the brush that comes along with the palette is quite nice for blending. It doesn't lay color very well, but works in a pinch for blending. The lightest shade in the palette was quite chalky and had quite a bit of fallout. The darker, matte shades were smooth and very pigmented - perfect for on the crease or as a soft, smudgy liner. Overall, its a lovely palette with some amazing, very wearable shades. I can see myself reaching out to all the shades in this palette and think it has a great selection of neutrals with quite a few darker shades thrown into the mix!
