When I first saw picture of this palette online, I knew I had to have this palette. I don't have too many of UD's palettes, but whatever palettes that I have (Alice in Wonderland, NYDC BOS, Black palette, Naked Palette) I loved them. Of course in every palette that UD makes, there are bound to have one or two which are too glittery for my liking, but the other colors more than make up for my dislike for the glittery ones.
Compared to the previous BOS, this palette is much slimmer and much friendlier for traveling. And what I like about this palette is that it has a balance of neutral, bright and smokey colors, so there is something for everyone in this palette. I can see this palette being a very versatile one. All swatches pic are swatched without eye base. Pls click pictures for enlarged pic esp for the swatches.

Desperation: No Dupe for it from MAC
Muse: Looks like a darker version of MAC's Mulch e/s, nice for a smokey brown look
Jagged: No Dupe from MAC, Not a fan of this shadow, coz it's too glittery and chalky as u can see from the swatch...I suppose using a base would help with the application.. But still..
Blitz: A nice dirty gold to match the other browns in the palette,
Penny Lane: Kinda reminds me of MAC's goldmine, but lighter and less orange. Has smooth texture
Junkie: Quite close to MAC shimmermoss, but this is a tad darker than shimmermoss. Texture is smooth and blendable
Chaos: This is the blue that attracted me to the palette, When swatched I find it pretty smooth, but it's best to use this with a base to bring out the pigmentation of this color even more.
Occupy: Smooth texture and easy to blend. A good color for smoky eyes.
Unhinged: Reminds me of the defunct MAC's parrot e/s but less blue and intense than Parrot. Good texture as well
Black market: Smooth and good texture with intense pigmentation. Great for lining or for smokey eyes.
Provocateur: I don't care too much for this as just like Jagged it's too glittery for my liking. An eye base is a must for this color, otherwise I foresee glitters all over my face XD
Rapture: Smooth and blendable texture. More purple than MAC's satin taupe, It's a good everyday color for work. Would wear this again and again
Vice: Similar to MAC's satelight dreams but with more blue undertones to it. Easy to blend as well.
Noise: A very interesting shade of pink, would go well with the purples and golds in this palette. Also very blendable
Amor: Another glittery e/s but not as glittery as jagged and provocateur, It's still a workable color
Nevermind: A great neutral everyday color. Smooth and blendable texture
Echo Beach: Reminds me of MAC's blonde gold pigment. Buttery smooth and blendable. Good for lazy days where I just wan a wash of color on my eyes
Anoymous: Dupe from MAC - Vanilla or Brule
Freebird: Reminds me of MAC's jest e/s. Slightly more shimmer than jest, but still smooth and blendable, A very good neutral shade to work with
Laced: A good socket color for contour, More pink than MAC's wedge e/s
