Price: $8.49 (USD)
Packaging: Simple, Attractive

The palette has 8 colors. 1 matte finish, 4 shimmer finish, and 3 high pearl finish.

Shimmer: Dark Brown, Nude, Forest Green, and Olive Green
High Pearl: Orange, Warm Brown, Off white.

*Note: I use Neutrogena Eye Tints in beige as an eyeshadow base for this product.

First I'd like to review the matte shade in tan. I really love this shade. Its highly pigmented and works great for contouring your crease. It has almost more of a satin consistency more then matte,though. It stays on nicely and I did not experience any creasing.

Next I'll review the shimmer shades. I enjoy 3 out of the 4 of these shades. The dark brown is possibly my favorite eyeshadow in the whole palette. The greens are also nice, although I do not use them very often. I am not impressed however with the nude shade. Its very hard to see, hard to blend, and fades off quickly.

Finally I'll review the high pearl shades. I have a love/hate relationship with these. The warm orange and brown make my blue eyes pop and I constantly get complimented on them when wearing this eyeshadow. The off-white color is my go-to highlight shade and I use it more then any color in the set. However, I do not like the consistency of these shades. They almost have a cracked like appearances which kind-of reminds me fish scales. They are hard to blend with each other, though not impossible. Its definitely worth it though, seeing how beautiful and pigmented the colors are.

I would absolutely reccomend this product to someone with blue eyes, or someone who likes warm/neutral shades.
