I purchased this palette because several "mature women" who vlog on YouTube recommended it. The colors are beautiful and all go very well together. There's not one color that I don't see myself using. They're all gorgeous! If you're looking for sparkly shades, this really isn't a palette for you. They're more of a shimmer than sparkle. I used many colors this past week while at family lunches/dinners. Then easily bumped my shadows up a notch when I went to a wedding that same evening. This is a palette for skin tones more in the Cool region, than Warm. I have blue eyes & brown hair, so they worked very well with my skin tone.
