Note(s):
  • I purchased this palette at a Superdrug and have not order from the website. 
  • the shades have no names
  • shimmery shades had better color payoff than the matte shades
  • the texture on the matte shades was dry and chalky, especially the light brown and black  
  • I am not a fan of the packaging. It is slim, but hard to open and it feels cheap.
