Which was pretty rare for me, considering the face that I'm not really an eye shadow girl. I don't have much, uh, real estate in the eyelid area, which is why a lick of eyeliner on my top lashline is all the eye makeup I need. Oh and mascara. A LOT of mascara. 

Anywho, I saw this palette and it had quite a variety of neutral colors. I got the palette home and began to play. First of all, I was quite happy that this palette came with a guide on the back. It splits the palette into duos and quads, so you know which shades go well with each other. The pigmentation of the shadows is quite decent and they don't crease on my eyelids. I used this palette to do my birthday makeup, a brown/gold smokey eye which went quite well with a smudged brown eyeliner pencil. The eye shadows stayed quite well on my eyelids (I had used a primer, though). 

My main gripe with this palette is that the performance of all the shades is not uniform. Some shades are powdery with awful pigmentation, while others blend beautifully with amazing color payoff. 

Nevertheless, kudos to Maybelline for launching this palette in India. All the shades will suit us olive skinned Desi girls (yeah, I said that) quite well. Its a great palette for makeup beginners and for those who are REALLY into neutral colors (like yours truly). I'm glad I bought this little baby.
