What did you think? I love neutral eyeshadows and wear them on a daily basis.  I also like shadows that don't have too much sparkle in them.  That said, I often find myself using the same eyeshadows over and over, and frankly, many shadows bore me.  I picked up this palette on a whim and WOW!  I am so glad I did.

The colors in this palette are great!  You can create so many different looks, from everyday office appropriate to a sultry, smokey eye, to something more colorful and exotic, with this one palette.  There are some sparkly shadows in this palette, but none are too obnoxious and the matte shades are killer.  I love this palette, even more than Urban Decay's Naked.

My only disappointment is the eyeliner. It's ok...not quite the perfect shade, but that's ok.  I bought this for the shadows, and I couldn't be happier.

Final verdict?  With so many pretty colors to play with, I have not regretted this purchase.  There are tons of combos and looks that can be created just from this palette that it gets a HUGE thumbs up.  I highly recommend that you add this to your beauty bag!
