This is version 1 Bright and Light, though this was the only one available. It was a pretty good bargain at £10 considering you get 12 different shades. The shadows are a mix of shimmer, glitter and matte, though the orange is the only proper matte in there, other colours do have a matte like texture and appearance even though they are not technically mattes.
In terms of the colour selection I absolutely love it! There is something there for so many looks, that it need be the only palette you need to take out, and if you are travelling light it is ideal. Smoky eyes, neutral eyes, pastel eyes, bright eyes, everything is possible. It is small, light and has a mirror in it, so it really is perfect for travel.
Small but perfectly formed! This fits in the palm of your hand so will fit easily in a make up bag or handbag.
The colour selection.
In terms of the quality they are pretty pigmented and apply easily. They aren't the smoothest shadows or the most pigmented, but for the price they look good and do their job. They were very easy to use, and you don't need to many layers to get the optimum colour. The camera didn't show the colours up very well, they are a lot more visible and bright in real life!
The packaging is a little cheap, the shadows are a bit wonky here and there, and there isn't any room between shadows so powder can transfer from pan to pan, but also the surrounding packaging just being cardboard stains from the loose product and can get a bit dog eared. The packaging is pretty though, but plastic would have been more practical, especially when keeping the shadows fresh.
Overall, I love this, it has everything I need in a small and convenient form, and the quality of the shadows is good for the price! I'd grade it 8/10 if I had to.
