First of all, the outside packaging is beautiful. It has a gorgeous metallic silver overlay that is incredibly hard to capture on camera so I suggest seeing it in person to really appreciate its beauty. The packaging brings both elements of the sea and elements from the movie together in such a beautiful way.

The casing for the palette itself is equally as beautiful .It portrays a silhouette of Ariel as well as different elements from the movie in the same silver overlay.
Now on to the main event: The eyeshadows. This palette contains 20 eyeshadows that are 0.035 oz a piece (to put things in perspective, a MAC eyeshadow is 0.05oz). All of the shadows have very Little Mermaid-esque names such as "Sea Witch" and my favorite name of them all "Les Poissons" (Hee Hee Hee Hoh Hoh Hoh...sorry, I had to).

The shadows range from mattes to shimmer and there is the occasional glitter shadow, but surprisingly, they all blend like a dream, even the matte shades (which is surprising as it is very rare to find a brand that makes good matte shadows). Now, I'm sure you all really want to see the swatches so I will get right on with it. I did use a skin tone colored primer under every swatch.

This palette retails for $55 on Sephora's website. It is really hard to get your hands on so if you are lucky enough to get one, do it because you won't regret it.
