Smaller palettes are great, but with a smaller-sized palette it is IMPERATIVE that each shade performs remarkably well. Considering you have limited options to create a look, each shade must do its job to contribute to the overall palette quality.
This review focuses on EACH shade in a palette, and lets you know which ones function as expected, and which shades are duds. At the end, you can see if the palette is mathematically worth the offering price, or if you should skip it.
NOTE: This is MY opinion & experience; regarding the shade quality. As always, use/buy the makeup that makes YOU happy.
