Victoria's Secret Metallic Eyes (The Trend: Glam shimmer and sheen)

I did a post on the items in my to go makeup pouch and I got a request to review this particular item. As far as tiny cute palettes go, this one definitely takes the prize. Its the opposite of the UD Basics palette in that it has all shimmer shades with metallic finish, which means they all have a high sheen. The word sheen implies that it gives off a reflective look, but not glittery. A nice sheen means that the shadows have to be finely milled and soft.

The Palette

Price: Around 60-90 dhs.

Packaging:

 Flips open, does not have a mirror, but has a magnet click when closed, so it won't open on the go. Made of hard cadrboard, quite sturdy.

This palette contains 6 shimmery eyeshadows, 1 eyeliner, 1 highlighter, there was a little brush but I've long lost it, it was not good at all.

So how does this palette fare....

What's in my out the door to-go Makeup Pouch?

Sometimes we're in such a darn hurry that we don't get time to even smear on some lipstick. For just such a situation, or if I have to be staying overnight someplace, I keep some hassle free easy to use products. A random moisturizer suffices as a primer which is usually haunting some dark nook and cranny in my purse but since the pouch is quite tiny, that does not get to hang out with the makeup itself. I would not normally use these makeup products or most of them if I have some time before headed out. I do admit that the only mirror I have is the tiny one that comes with the Bobbi Brown concealer but lets move on to the actual stuff:
