This was my first high end purchase. After many months of reading other reviews about it I decided to splurge! It has been one of the best investments I have made! The quality of the eye shadows are really wonderful! They are very smooth and buttery. The palette contains a whole top row of matte shadows and a whole bottom row of shimmery shadows. I use this for daytime and night time looks! It's got all of the colors I need. It's a very neutral colored palette and doesn't contain any crazy colors. It's great for every day wear!
