The Packaging

Upon purchasing the palette, I was greeted with super fresh and clean packaging that is super chic and simple! The palette was a simple white with grey and shiny lettering. On the back of the palette, all of the different shades and names were labeled so I could identify what shade I was using. Overall, I love the clean and simple look of this palette!

Testing Out the Shadows

I swatched these shadows based on the rows of shadows, so that's how they appear in the pictures. The first row of this palette (the top) consists of two glimmer/highlighting shades, two neutral/simple shades, and three glittery pinks. The first few shades were super soft and easy to apply, I assume these shades are for highlighting parts of the eye and setting a base. When I got to the pink shades, I noticed they were slightly more pressed, but still gave off a beautiful look. (see below)

The next row of shadows contained five matte and satin shades, along with two shimmers. Three of the colors are slightly darker, nude shades perfect for any natural look or base color. Two of my favorite shades on this palette are on this row: Creamsickle and Hunts. Creamsickle is a nice matte yellow thats perfect for any autumnal/expressive look, and Hunts is a great red for anyone looking to deepen a look or add a more warm tone. The two glimmers were similar to the ones prior: more pressed than other shadows but still wonderful pigmentation.

The third row of colors contained more deep colors and shimmers, adding to the wonders of this palette. The first three colors are a super pretty and simple shimmer to go with any look. The next three colors are varying shades of red-brown, all very useful in adding dimension and definition to your eyes! The final shadow in this row is a nice red shimmer.

The second to last row starts off with some bolder shades. The first two shades are a shimmery purple and blue, followed by some light neutral/simple shimmers, and ending with two browns to add definition to your eyes. The brown shades definitely seem dryer and looser than the previous shadows, so you'll see in my swatches that they were a little rough for me, but they are still super nice and easy to blend! These shimmers are definitely a new style/color range for me, and I'm excited to step out of my comfort zone to try them out!

The final row has two turquoise shades: one shimmer and one matte, followed by a lighter green shimmer, and four darker colors. There is a dark green, a deep brown, a more purple-blue color, and black. These shades are a super nice touch for flare or complexity, and they were also a little more dry.

Overall

The variation of color, texture, and formula in this palette is incredible! This palette is a great starting point for any artist looking for a mix of natural and bold colors alike. The packaging is chic and simple, and the palette was well formed and thought out. Being a fan of Morphe and Jaclyn, I had high hopes for this palette and I was not disappointed! I can't wait to work with this palette and expand my Morphe collection!
