Review
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this palette. Not only are the colors nice and pigmented, but they shades works very well together. I was drawn by this palette by the matte orange color, but I found some great surprises in this palette, mainly the pinky nude shimmer and the dark taupe. I have nothing in my collection like those two shades. The bronze-copper and the black are not totally unique to my collection, but they are great colors none the less.

The least pigmented shade of the palette is the copper colors, but the other four shades are fantastic! They blend effortlessly. For the $5 price tag this is a great deal for you gals you like neutral/brown eyeshadows. This is such a versatile palette because you can create simple everyday eyes or smokey night time looks. I highly recommend it.

PROS:
-inexpensive
-great pigmentation
-smooth and blendable texture
-semi-unique colors (for drugstore eyeshadows)

CONS:
-bronze shade is very sheer and not as smooth as the other shades

    1. It is definitely not super orange since it has a heavy brown undertone. It is much more wearable than other oranges :D
