Note: all swatches are in day light!
As you can see this palette is well loved already, considering I've only had it for a week. The deep reds and golds are perfect!
The mirror that comes with it has this quote from the book written on it, it made me laugh and is a really nice touch to the palette aswell {^^}

Onto the actual swatches! Finally.
The first two shades shown don't actually appear on my skin very well bare in mind the camera. I think they would be perfect for blending and highlighting shades and to be honest these shades actually a bit chalky and aren't as pigmented as I would've hoped but, they are cute regardless and work well as a transitioning shade and a highlight.
The next two shades and gorgeous shimmer shades. I actually use these both as well. The gold is smooth and blends nicely and the violet colour is the same, it's amazing as actually cute pastel inner corner or highlight shade. (I'm also a huge sucker for pastel coloured eyeshadows)
Up next we have a slightly more disappointing combo. The copper shimmer is so pretty and shimmery and I use it whenever I'm trying to pull off a gold/orange shimmer eyeshadow look but, the dark purple looked so pigmented in the palette and doesn't swatch at all onto my skin or eye very well. The thing with the mattes in this palette that I've noticed is that they're quite chalky and don't blend out very well unless you fully pack them on. Regardless, it does work very well as a crease shade and maybe even a subtle more 'natural' eye look.
THE NEXT EYESHADOWS ARE MY FAVOURITE I'M SORRY.
The orange/burgundy shade is watch actually drew my attention to this palette. Although, like I said, the mattes in this palette are quite chalky BUT, the colour is so gorgeous and I just can't help myself but, use this most days. It's such a strange unique colour and I use it as a crease shade whenever I get the chance too and once it's combined with other eyeshadows it does make a beautiful eye look.
Same thing said for the grey colour, although I really cannot work with this shade a lot because, it REALLY needs to be packed on for it to be able to be workable. I usually use this shade for a blending shade. Quite disappointing when this shade looks so gorgeous in the palette.
Up next we have the dark brown shimmer and the silver/grey shade.
The brown is nothing special, just a normal matte brown shade that has a slight orange undertone to it which is a gorgeous colour to have as an all over lid shade.
The silver/grey shade. WHY DID THEY FAKE THE SHIMMER. I never understood why they did this? They have made plenty of gorgeous shimmer shades before why did they have to fake this one??? Either way, I was pretty sad when the shimmery layer rubbed off onto my finger. The colour is such a dark grey which is a gorgeous colour, I use it alot in my crease and under my eyes. But, I WISH IT WAS SHIMMERY WHY BH COSMETICS, WHY?
The last 2 eyeshadow colours in this palette are my go-to when I'm in a rush with my makeup. The dark shimmery brown blends smoothly and is very pigmented, I use this as an all over eye shade quite a lot.
The black. OH MAN, THE BLACK. I've always been a huge fan of BH's pigment when it comes to there matte black shades. Now, I own alot of matte Black Eyeshadows and the black in this palette has got to be one of my favourites. It's so dark and it's the only matte shade in this palette that isn't chalky. Just look at it! It's so dark and pigmented and I use this as my go-to black shade.
LOOK AT THAT GOLD HIGHLIGHT. HHHHHHHH.
The blushes are your usual blushes. One is more of a light pink washed colour which makes a subtle blush look while the other is a dark, orange/pink mixed shade and is very pigmented so, if I was going to use this shade I would definitely use a light hand otherwise you'll look sunburnt.
These cheek shades are my favourite. I'm not usually a fan of wearing blush but, I am a fan of the colours so I HAD to use them.
OVERALL
This palette is perfect for a travel sized, go-to palette. Not to mention the creepy theme and the collaboration was just perfect. This is fairly new to the market (I think it came out end of January?) but, it is currently on sale on the BH Website as of now. This is one of those palettes that everyone needs to have and to really experience its potential.

THE CHEEK SHADES
Now when I saw this palette came with cheek shades I knew it had to be mine. I am a sucker for grey-d out blushes and sparkly highlights and this palette has exactly that!
The blushes are your usual blushes. One is more of a light pink washed colour which makes a subtle blush look while the other is a dark, orange/pink mixed shade and is very pigmented so, if I was going to use this shade I would definitely use a light hand otherwise you'll look sunburnt.
