The palette contains 32 shadows in a mix of finishes and cost a whole £8. The outer cardboard box is a metallic gold whilst the actual packaging is a sleek black plastic with a nice secure shut (that has a very satisfying click) and a big mirror on the inner portion of the palette. All shade names are printed on a plastic sheet inside the casing. The colours are placed into colour families in columns (as seen in the picture below) and let the switching commence!
The first column of this palette is the least impressive, it contains some very light shades that hardly show up on my super pale complexion and the pigmentation of these isn't great. The colour Tawny makes quite a nice crease colour though if you are going for a very minimal makeup look but just wanted something in your crease to add a bit of dimension.
| First column from top to bottom - flawless, dove (this is scary close to my actual skin colour), sandstone and tawny |
| second row from top to bottom - light caramel, chestnut, bronze and ground brown |
| Column three from top to bottom - papaya, zorba, autumn, toasty |
| column four from top to bottom - bare pink, pug, spice and immaculate |
| row five from top to bottom - Sand dune, Brunette, Wholemeal, Teddy |
As we move into row 6 we start to get to the slightly cooler shades with this row making a beautiful smokey eye look with mineral in the inner corner, cookie dough all over the lid, sepia in the crease and cocoa on the outer corner.
| row six top to bottom - mineral, cookie dough, sepia and cocoa |
| row seven top to bottom - expresso, chocolate, muddy, bistre |
| row eight from top to bottom - warm grey, stone grey, nightfall, blackest |

Until next time...
