I got this palette from my dad and stepmother for Christmas. I absolutely love it and perfect for everyday use, travel or just as a carry along, if you are like me and can not go any where with out touch up makeup, due to the "just in case anything happens factor"
This pallet is only available on QVC
here and retails for $93, thankful it was a gift for me, but I believe it is well worth price, considering the quality and amount and variety of makeup you receive in the palette.
The palette includes:
56 photo op eyeshadows
4 brow tech powders
8 cream eyeliners
2 blushes
3 soft lights
4 lip glosses
DAMN! that's a lot in one palette!!
This is palette closed:
Opened, it has a plastic protective cover on the products, with the individual name of each one
This is what it looks like without the plastic protective covering
Here are the swatches and my thoughts on whats inside:

REVIEW on EYESHADOWS: All these swatches were takes on bare skin with no primer, The color selection in this palette is really great and I like the variety of darks, lights, shimmers and mattes. The shimmers and dark colors have really great color payoff and the mattes come off a bit chalky without the primer. When I use my trusty UDPP in eden, every single color in this palette pop and the mattes look amazing.
Cream Eyeliners: Ivy, Gilt, Picasso, Lava, Midnight Purple, Image, Midnight brown Cavier
REVIEW: These are really great as an eyeliner, but as a base they crease. I would recommend ONLY putting this on lid if you going to use these as a base and do not go pass the crease at all. Even with a premier they crease.
Brow Tech Powders: Blonde, Taupe, Auburn, Brunette
REVIEW: No complaints here. Great color selection and the Brunette matches my eyebrows great and there is a brow wax included to set the powder and keep your eyebrows in tact.
BLUSH: Posy Pink, Warm Apricot
REVIEW: LOVE LOVE LOVE these two blushes. The texture, color, and color payoff is amazing.
SOFT LIGHTS: Lens, Prism, Shimmer
REVIEW: These are highlighter and I love them also. The color select and texture is amazing.
LIPGLOSSES: Buff, Bitten, Guava, Mulberry
REVIEW: These are ok, they are very sheer and not very long wearing at all.
OVERALL: AMAZING palette! I love the functionality of it and the variety. However, the mattes and lip glosses are the down fall of the palette. If you enjoy having all your makeup with you at all time and are always being asked to do your friends makeup where ever you (like I am!) Then this palette is a goldmine for you!
I hope you enjoyed this review!!
