Formulation:

Like most baked powder products, the formulation is a tad dry but most of the shadows are nicely pigmented. A couple of the colors are a bit similar to each other but overall there are some great metallics, shimmers, and even satin mattes.

Uranium: Mossy green metallic with copper undertones. Great pigmentation!
Copper: Super pretty bright copper metallic.
Geode: Satin peach nude.

Gypsum: Pale shimmery champagne

Overall:

If you love baked shadows, then this one is a hit. For the value, the number of shadows and the pretty cheek colors you get is pretty amazing. Although a few of the shades are a bit lackluster, the majority of the colors are pigmented and easy to wear.
