Products:

These eyeshadow fall under 4 finishes matte, satin, pearl, and shimmer.

The pearl and shimmer shades have great colour payoff but are powdery.

The satin shades are sheer but build-able.

The 4 matte shades are however, are chalky in texture and dry when trying to apply.

Colours:

Row 1 shade 1 - is a white pearl white with a more satin-matte finish.

Row 1 shade 2 - Is a pale silver with a shimmer finish.

Row 1 shade 3 - is a pale champagne pink with a shimmer finish.

Row 1 shade 4 - is a deep neutral brown with a matte finish. (This one is powdery.)

Row 1 shade 5 - is a dusty slate blue with a pearl finish. (In the pan it look more like a Denim Blue.)

Row 1 shade 6 - is a charcoal grey with a shimmer finish. 

Row 2 shade 1 - is a pale linen cream with a satin finish.

Row 2 shade 2 - is a pale taupe brown with a matte finish.

Row 2 shade 3 - is a dusty eggplant purple with a matte finish. (This one is sheer and powdery.)

Row 2 shade 4 - is a dirty gold with a shimmer finish.

Row 2 shade 5 - is a dusty plum with a matte finish. (This one is sheer and powdery.)

Row 2 shade 6 - is a charcoal black with a matte finish. (This one is sheer and powdery.)

Wear: On their own, these will crease in 3 hours on me. There is just not enough binder for these shades to last on their own. With an eye primer they will last though.

Packaging: Basic compact with a clear lid and sponge applicator.

Daylight swatches: Top row Shade 1, Shade 2, Shade 3 Shade 4, & Shade 5.

Flash swatches: Top row Shade 1, Shade 2, Shade 3 Shade 4, & Shade 5.

Daylight swatches: Bottom row Shade 1, Shade 2, Shade 3 Shade 4, & Shade 5.

Flash swatches: Bottom row Shade 1, Shade 2, Shade 3 Shade 4, & Shade 5.

Verdict:
This is also a workable palette from Maybelline but I'm still disappointed  in those shade textures overall. A good primer will fix any pigmentation or longevity problem but you will find yourself really working at these shades to blend them out and pack in the pigmentation.
