If you can read the box it comes with 20 (yes 20!) Eye shadows and 10 lip colours

The lip colours which are in a “hidden” drawer
There are no shade names but here is a close up of the eye shadows:

Here are the swatches of the eyeshadows:

Overall, I find this palette to be really versatile. I like that there is a good mix of shimmers and matte shadows. Some of the eyeshadow colours looked like they were really shimmery in the pan but when I put them on the shimmer is really pretty and subtle. Also with the shades that had shimmer I noticed there was quite a bit of fall out (when you apply the eye shadow some of the powder falls to places you don’t want it – such as under your eyes, nose and cheeks) so I just had to be careful to clean that up afterwards.
I haven’t tried the lip glosses yet as I like to apply it with a brush and I’m usually too rushed in the mornings to take that extra step. But I’m really excited to try the most vibrant colour – it’s kind of a bright coral red!
Thanks Nelah, for making this palette available to me! It’s quickly becoming one of my favorites!
