My review:

The good stuff:

One of the specialty's about this product, mentioned on the back of the packaging is that the colours in the palette are great when you need supreme bright colour. The packaging does not lie, the colours are extra creamy and soft, easy to apply and they have some extreme pigment going on. The palette comes with 12 super awesome colours that are must-haves. If you use an entire colour, leaving it empty, fear not re-fills are available in all shades! 
- Being cream, these shades are sooooo easy to blend into eachother and create new colours with.
- Majority of shades will not stain your skin at all.
- With this many shades, the looks you can create are endless!
- They can be used as a bright eyeliner (not on waterlines) as long as you seal them with powder.

The packaging is a rectangular tin that keeps the product extra safe and clean.

The not-so-good-stuff

The colours can tend to be a little bit chunky when applied with brush a brush especially the white colour "Ice". I find Ice can tend to be uneven in coverage. 
 The palette does come with a brush, however I find some of my other brushes are a lot more effective in applying.


 Tips + Tricks = 

As the colours are creme and do not dry, if applying to the eyelids or skin that tends to stretch and contract as you move, you will need to apply a powder over the area to stop the product from moving. I recommend loose eyeshadow in a matching colour however pressed shadow works fine too. 
If you are thinking about using this palette to do body art I recommend you purchase the Magicake palette instead, it's made for body painting.
