San Tortoiseshell ($60) is a neutral palette with eight mattes and metallics. While the packaging is simply stunning, I'm actually torn with the shadows. I'm not sure if they fully convince me. A couple of the shadows, Ivory and Black Chocolate, aren't very pigmented and feel quite dry. For something that cost $60, two bad shadows won't cut the mustard. I wish Sephora carried this in stores so I could have swatched it first, I probably wouldn't have gotten it. The metallics are beautiful though, very beautiful.

| I had to really scrub Ivory and Black Chocolate to pick up anything and they're still sheer |
