I was unsure on what delivery option to choose but I chose first class, they took about 2 weeks and a few days to arrive and I had to go to the post office to collect them - also had to pay fifteen pounds for customs which was a tad annoying, but hey ho - new make-up!
Seeing as I have a huge make-up addiction, it would be so much easier for me to buy them in pans and fill up a Z palette - so of course, I purchased the pink one! Z palettes are awesome, and mine came with little mini magnets in case I wanted to put anything else in there too.
You get 1.8g of product in the pans, where as in a mac eyeshadow pan you get 1.5g, for half the price - make up geek is probably going to be my favourite option.. let's see how they test. They also don't test on animals which is always a happy thought!
It must've taken me at least 3 hours to decide what colours to pick up for my first batch but in the end I had my heart set on these babies;
Peach Smoothie
$5.99
'A light peach beige with a soft matte finish'
For some reason in the photo, this colour looks a lot yellow toned than it is, this is more peachier (as the name would suggest).
This is the perfect transitional colour and a beauty youtuber/blogger staple, I have heard 'i'm taking peach smoothie on a fluffy brush in the crease' multiple times.

Cocoa Bear
$5.99
'Matte reddish brown'
Out of all of the shadows that I picked up in this haul, this has got to be one of my favourites - it's absolutely perfect for smoking up a look easily with a fluffy brush and 'whalaah' - come hither eyes.

Mango Tango
$5.99
'Peachy pink with flecks of gold'
Even though we're transitioning into the Autumn months here in the UK, I wanted to pick this up for the those last few precious days of summer weather. I don't actually think I already own anything like this in my collection -it's a miracle-

Bada Bing
$5.99
'Deep brown with flecks of gold'
Bada to the bing, this is the perfect eye-shadow for deepening up that outer V or even all over the lid is hypnotising.

Razzleberry

Pop Culture
$5.99
'Vibrant iridescent lavender purple'
Ah purple, purple.. purple.. how I love purple eyeshadows, this is a perfect lavender shade. I haven't fully tested this shadow yet, but the pigment seems amazing from the swatch and I can imagine this will make my eyes look super green!
Rating: 8/10 (So far, will update this when tested)
Sensuous
$5.99
'Shimmery purple with flecks of silver'
The more I type the word sensuous the more it doesn't look like a real world, do you ever get that? This is gorgeous!

Drama Queen
$5.99
'A densely dark purple with a shimmery finish'
When going for the purple smokey eye that I always gravitate towards on a night out, this is exactly what I would pick as the main lid colour. Beautiful.
