This palette is so amazing! It is a bit pricey but it's worth it for the amazing foiled shadows! I've never tried anything like it before and I love it. The mattes don't swatch very well but it is so pigmented on your eyes with a brush! You do have to use your fingers for the foiled shadows though. Which I don't mind but some people may have long nails. I actually like the packaging. I don't feel as if it's cheap. I like how the front is clear like a z palette so I can see my shadows. If you don't want that just leave on the sleeve it came with! I really like the versatility of this palette. You can do a quick simple everyday look or a super glam evening looks really fast. Would definitely recommend.
