Note(s):

• more than one pass is necessary to get full coverage (one pass looks patchy just like the swatch above)
• the product is very creamy
• I don't know if I didn't allow enough time to set (dry), but some the product settled in my crease within a few minutes of applying it. I tried it with an eyeshadow primer and without it and the product still settled in the crease.
• I mostly had issues in the crease line everywhere else the product looked fine.

• This palette is pre-made and eyeshadows do not come off.
• Shades such as Brule, Amber Lights, Honey Lust, and Saddle can be purchase separately. The rest of the shades are exclusive to this palette. 
• If you are new into makeup and would like purchase MAC eyeshadows, this palette is a good value.
• The quality of the eyeshadows is fine. Some are more pigmented than others but the color payoff overall is decent.
• My favorite shade is Saddle.
