Products: 
These shadows in general, are very pigmented for their formulas. Most of these shades are a shimmery formula with high shine and smooth application. There are a few satin shades that have a thinner shimmery layer that I found could skip on the skin if you drag it on rather than pack it on.

Verdict:

This is a nice palette overall and you're going to need a primer with these shadows as the binders are not a strong as some eyeshadows on the market. But these are more like pressed pigments in terms of colour pay off.
