| Palette comes in a black cardboard mini case also |

| The inside of the Palette. 4 shadows, 2 blushes, 4 lip colors and 3 mini brushes. |
Firstly, let me apologize for how dusty this looks. It had been stored at the back of my make-up draw for a little while, rarely used so it got a bit tatty :(
I had never heard of Victoria Jackson before purchasing this, but thought the colours looked very natural and blendable which made me want to try it out.
Here is a swatch of all of the colours in the Palette

| To the left are the 4 lip stains, to the right the 4 eye colours and above are the 2 blushes. |
In all honesty, I don't really like the colours once they are on the skin. The eye shadows look really harsh, and even with the smallest amount they tend to go a strange orangey/fake tan colour which is certainly less than nice. The browns are OK, but nothing amazing and the two tan/nude colours I quite simply dislike.
The Lip colours are not too bad, some are better than others. Here are some photo's which show them on my lips. They are very glossy colours, and quite bronzed also, which I like at times, but not for everyday wear. The lightest colour is my favourite I think.
I tried to take photo's with me wearing the blushes and eye colour, but for some reason my camera was making them all look the same :(
So overall in conclusion, I do like the Palette for certain times however its not an essential piece of my collection I would grab for often, and certainly not everyday. At full retail price I do not think this is worth it because the shadows are very odd colours once they get onto skin, and the lip stains come off very quickly... and have barely any staying power at all. Also, not sure if it is just me and my weak fingers, but I find this incredibly difficult to actually open and it takes me about 10 seconds to try and force it open. Anyone else find this to be true?
