For a long time, I couldn't make up my mind on which palette to buy - this one with 10 shades or the palette of 16 shades from NYX too.
The price was $20.00 on the official site.
Look at the design! It touches you right away! All those bright shades and tropical theme calls for you and you can’t help but purchase it.

The color selection is vibrant and juicy. You can experiment with it endlessly long.

I don’t know why but they don’t recommend to apply pressed pigments on your eyes. It means all the shades except yellow, golden, green and blue. Have a look:

They probably think we’ll use them as blushes, huh? 
Or on our faces while putting on a creative makeup. The swatches were applied over a white base.

The palette ensures thousands of bright and bold creative makeups, as well as a couple of muted and daily ones too.
I really love the bright-blue and purple together.

A makeup primer is essential for such bold shades (use a white base or a primer that will extend the wear time of the products) or else all the beautiful red-orange shades that were applied in the morning will turn into a faded messy spot on your eyes by the evening.
This is my makeup with the shade #2 on my upper lid and #6 on my lower lid.

Or this one mono-toned green shade.

It may appear a tad weird so I’d like to recommend you pair it with the brown or black shades.
I added some black to the outer corners and then precise it with a Q-tip with micellar water and a concealer.

That’s very dramatic, isn’t it?
The palette is the bomb for a photoshoot.
One more thing that I really love about this palette is that I can always add some more shades or blend the existing ones and my makeup already looks different.
Here’s an example of this transformation.
Step 1. I apply the shade #1 on my upper and lower lids. It’s so gentle.

Step 2. I add a little bit of purple and crimson on top (a mixture of shades #6 and #9).

Step 3. I add that shimmering yellow to the inner corner of my eyes and the same #1 for in the middle of my upper lid for a smoother blending and finish.

This makeup is summer-y and fresh for me.
And one of the main important pros of this palette is a chance for newbies or makeup artists who only start their career to learn how to BLEND! If you try hard and learn how to blend from yellow to green or from red to purple, you’ll easily blend out every commercial shade then.
I’d say this palette is to master your skills. If your blending is poor or transitions suck, such mishaps will be too obvious.
So, I can highly recommend it for anyone, makeup junkies or professionals. I was very pleased to discover the pigmentation of the shades for the affordable money that the palette costs.
Buy it, you won’t regret it!
