Ingredients:
Thoughts: When it comes to eyeshadows, I love the sparkly look. Sparkly, in the sense, it's shiny but not a hot glitter mess.
Here's a closer look inside the palette.

Now for looks I created...
Look #1:
I applied Suz wet with my finger on the lid, and blended out the crease and outer v with MAC Eyeshadow in Mulch.
Here's the same look at a different angle.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, the packaging is cute! It's small, light-weight, and very shiny. They wrapped the palette with fabric and you can feel the different textures. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick carbon paper. Inside the palette close to the mirror, you can actually feel and slightly see the magnets on the top corners. The magnets are sturdy and closes easily. You actually need to pull with slight force which is a good thing. For that reason, it's travel-friendly. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. Since it's so light-weight and small, it's easy to throw in your purse and bag. You can also put it in your pocket. Secondly, the consistency is buttery soft. It feels good in-between the fingers. Even though the eyeshadows are buttery soft, it's very compacted. There's no loose powder all over the palette. I'm impressed since most palettes have slightly some. With that said, it's actually really easy to use. They recommend using your fingers to apply the eyeshadows. Noli and Turbosan you can apply dry. Suz and Harpoon is recommended to use damp fingers but you can still apply dry. It is up to the individual. I actually used it wet because I like pigmented eyeshadows. Even though I used the shadows with my fingers, I had mixed reaction. It's easy to apply on the lid but I found it hard to reach in the inner corners. Also I noticed that when I wet my fingers damp, it applies pigmented. The next round of shadows I had to re-wet my fingers to get the same pigmentation. Third, the colors are gorgeous. It's shiny and metallic which is what I like on my lids. It's definitely good all year. Pigmentation-wise it's up there but I wouldn't say it's the most pigmented. It's definitely more pigmented wet but still not the most pigmented. Lastly, it lasted all day on me but most shadows do. There were no creasing and smudging. I'm glad I got this palette. It's pretty and the colors are fun. I just don't think it's the most sanitary-safe since we dig our fingers into the palette. Also, I found it hard to reach in the inner corners whereas it's easy with a brush.
Pros:
* Small, light-weight, shiny, cute packaging.
* Well-made and sturdy packaging.
* Magnetic closure.
* Travel-friendly.
* Buttery-soft consistency.

* Cruelty-free.
Cons:
* Hard to find in stores.
* Hard to reach the inner corners of the eyes.
* Need to keep re-wetting the shadows to get same pigmentation.
* Not the most sanitary-safe.
Would repurchase: Maybe.
