My impression and thoughts:
If you are into high-end makeups, this is a good addition to your collection. I like it wet (damp) because it gives exquisite color pay-off. Dry technique looked flat on me and it took me quite a while to pick up the color from the pan (I used both the sponge tip applicators and my own eye shadow brush). The gold-tinted case is handy, ideal to-go because of its compact size. You can even use the top/outside case as your mirror for quick lipstick touch-ups. But if you're OC with finger prints, expect to leave your thumb marks on the case. But then again, it comes with a red velvet case which you can use to wipe and store your palette properly.
Ever the guinea pig, I tried and wore this eye makeup yesterday. You be the judge....
