This is wish I had gotten sooner as I order on Oct. 13th but it didn't ship till the 19th, but just in time for Halloween review. My second palette from Lime Crime and my first time trying their lipsticks.
Lime Crime ALCHEMY duochrome pressed eyeshadow palette retails for $35.99US, POISONBERRY and SERPENTINA lipstick retail for $15.99.

Product: The
Alchemy palettes come with 5 pigmented shimmer, non powdery shades. These duochromes are very subtle with really only Love Potion #9 is noticeable colour shift.
They have a lot of pop even on bare skin and all are true to pan.
The only one i had trouble with was Lucky Charm as it a stuffer formulation and not as buttery as the rest but the pigmentation was there.
The Alchemy Poisonberry and Serpentina are very richly pigmented and takes only two layers to get solid coverage.
Poisonberry does stain your lips a vivid pink. Serpentine I recommend using a black liner as a base only because the shade is such a shift from nude to green it would help any fading issue throughout the night. ;)

Packaging: Tin
pencil box sized case with hinge. The eyeshadows are housed in a thin
black plastic (ridged added for structural support) that can bee popped
out easily.
The lipstick tubes are substantial are large with a bit of weight to them. It's doubt they would every break if you dropped them.

Verdict: Definitely a keeper!
Great collection of shades overall!
The lipstick shades are very job specific colour admittedly but wonderfully pigmented.
