The palette itself is made of sturdy quite weighty acrylic, which has a smoky effect to it. It has a secure magnetic closure, a large mirror in the lid - and also comes with a double ended synthetic brush, with a blending brush at one end and a smudger brush at the other. It's not the most amazing brush I've ever used, but it does the job.

When I think 'smoky eye' I tend to think of grey, slivers and blacks. However I love the fact that this palette not only offers you these shades but a whole host of brown bronzes and taupes too. Which means you can create any type of smoky look you want. There is also a leaflet included with the palette to show you how to achieve four different smoky looks.

High -This is a pink toned champagne metallic shade with micro-glitter particles through it.
It also has quite a smooth soft blendable texture.
DirtySweet- This is a metallic gold shade it is by far my favourite shadow in the palette - it is extremely soft, buttery smooth, applies evenly and blends out beautifully.
Radar -This is a metallic bronze shade with micro-glitter particles through it. It has decent yet buildable pigmentation, it does feel slightly drier then the previous two shades.
Armor- This is a metallic sliver, slightly taupe shade with large silver glitter particles through it. It has quite smooth texture, it does feel slightly dry but goes on evenly and has decent buildable pigmentation.

Dagger -This is matte charcoal grey shade with a slight blue undertone to it. It also has micro-glitter particles through it, is very pigmented and has quite a smooth yet slightly dry texture.
Black Market -This is a black shade with a slight satin sheen to it. It has a very similar texture to Dagger - very pigmented, blendable and buildable with a smooth slightly dry texture.
Smolder- This is a matte cool toned plum shade. Like Black Market and Dagger, it also has a smooth but slightly dry texture, and again is very pigmented, blendable and buildable.

Whiskey- This is matte cool toned brown shade, it blends out beautifully and is very buildable. And again has a smooth slightly dry texture.
Combust- This is a matte soft pink beige shade, and yet again has a soft smooth yet dry texture.
Thirteen -This is a pale beige almost matte shade (it has a very slight sheen), and again has a really soft, smooth yet dry texture.

I think this palette is so versatile I would highly recommend it if you like Smoky neutral shades. The shade range is impressive, and the formula of the shadows is incredible. It's definitely worth investing in. Link!
