The packaging is quite simple, made of black
cardboard but it has an Arabian woman on the front (It might actually be Huda)
and the eyeshadow and headpiece she is wearing is reflective. The palette has a
magnetic closing and you just lift it up to reveal the mirror and eyeshadow
pans.

The eyeshadows should be vibrant,
highly pigmented and easy to layer. The shade selection is inspired by the
Arabian Desert. The palette is cruelty free, but it is not vegan.
The quality of these eyeshadows is
amazing! They are super pigmented, they layer and blend like a dream. I still recommend eye primer. I didn’t
get any fall-out from the shades I tested, but they are powder eyeshadows so
you will get ‘kick back’ when you coat your brushes. My favourite shade is
Turkish Delight. The only dud shade is Cosmo because it is a pure glitter. It
is like loose glitter that has been pressed into the pan, but there is nothing
in the formula to bind it together to make a pressed eyeshadow like the rest of
the shades. As soon as you touch it, it will crumble and fall out of the pan. I
have seen that this has happened with a lot of people that bought the palette,
so because of this Cosmo isn’t really a shade you will be able to use properly,
if at all! This palette isn't technically vegan as it is contains Carmine. Overall, I really love this palette; the only downside for me is the
price. I’m not sure the quality justifies the hefty price tag. Nevertheless, I
would re-purchase it because I love it and I am addicted to purchasing
palettes!
