    Get ready for a long review, as this set includes three palettes.
    The first is the lip palette, which includes six colours. The shades are warm, subtle, and sheer, which makes for them to be wonderful everyday looks. However, they were advertised as being matte, but none are matte no matter who wheres them (this is honestly not a problem at all), and they do not dry out the lips at all. Also, as many lip sticks go, they do tend to wash off over the course of the day, and personally, the fact that they are in a palette and not tubes make them more difficult to put on while on the go. Overall, this palette is beautiful and I love the colours, but I'm going to try and find the shades in tubes as to avoid the palette format next time.
    Up next is the contour palette, which is beyond wonderful. It's so perfect for travel, the colours blend so well and the contour and highlight shades are great. I do have a problem with the bronzer as I wish the colour wasn't so brown and was maybe a little bit warmer, but it works well with the provided contour shade. It would be so perfect if this palette were bigger!!!
    Finally is the eye shadow palette. I thought this was such a bust, and it almost ruins the whole set. The colours are not special (just a lot of brown and cream), and it was the purple that stood out to me. It was the purple that caused all the problems though, as it applied very patchy, it WOULD NOT blend (even though all of the other colours did very well. Also, the black was disgusting and wouldn't blend as well. So, overall, a third of this palette is basically not usable and may actually ruin whatever look you're going for with this palette.
    All in all, this set has a wonderful contour palette, an above average lip palette, and an eyeshadow palette that is garbage-worthy. I would not recommend this set as the price is too much considering on of the three palettes is almost not usable.
