Price: $25 @ Ulta.  20 eyeshadows, 10 lip colors.

 Here is the packaging on the outside. There are ten little windows that show the top row of eyeshadows. The packaging has held up really nicely and very sturdy!

 There are 20 eyeshadows and ten lip colors in a little drawer. The colors are actually very saturated and last fairly long. The light ones turn to shimmer and the darker ones fade a bit after a while.  They have a pleasant smell and are not too gloopy :) I wont go into the individual colors because I don't use them enough to go any further.

Color Workshop 12-Pan Palettes

Here is the colorful palette with 2 shades taken out because they were beautiful but had no pigment and made me sad when I forgot and tried to use them...Here are the descriptions from top row to bottom, left to right: Shimmery white, pale lavender, empty, navy with deep blue shimmer, baby pink, empty, medium dark chocolate brown with purple undertones, blue with gold and silver glitter, dusty meduim pink with silver glitter, grape, deep purple taupe with brown shimmer, deep green with silver glitter.
 In This picture, the meduim pink is a lot darker that it looks, the brown next to the glittery blue is not orange, and the green looks green not black. Yes the white is extremly not pigmented but that makes it look even better in the brown bone or inner corner. The navy adn green are beautiful as liners as is the purple taupe next to the grape color. I have been wearing the first and second column latley and hit pan on the meduim pink! 
This is the most used neautrals. The only two without pan showing are the ones taht I dont like at all. The colors dont flatter me. Color descriptions are from top to bottom, left to right: Shimmery off-white, matte light peach, empty, taupe with green and yellow, shimmery creamy gray, orangey peach/pink with shimmer, empty, true gold, empty, empty, deep chocolate brown with silver glitter, empty.
The off-white, matte peach, and gray are hard to see in the light but they are wonderful highlights. The other four are fairly easy to see, but the gold looks orange...It is not orange it is a gorgeous gold! everything else is pretty true to color but the brown is a little darker.

They are mostly really nice and they really helped me when I was first starting out with makeup. Which one is your favorite?
