| Top: Tiny Death, Bottom (L-R) Disintegration, Shadow Box, Dead Head |
Tiny Death: Pale butterscotch with iridescent glitter. The glitter in this shade had a bit of fallout.
Disintegration: Antique shimmery bronze
Shadow Box: Rich matte chocolate brown
Dead Head: Officially the butteriest, most pigmented matte black I own.

PIGMENTATION: No issues with any of the shades. All were densely pigmented.
PRODUCT: Other than the aforementioned fallout issue with Tiny Death, the only other problem was some shadows were a bit powdery. Because I tap off excess before I apply my eyeshadow, I didn't notice any fallout due to the softer texture of some of the shades.

PACKAGING: As I mentioned in my Esperanza review, I am not a fan of the cardboard packaging of this year's palettes. However, this does have a decently-sized mirror and isn't too large for my bag.
PRICE: $46
All in all, if you're a fan of neutral shades, but want some good quality mattes in your palette, check out the Monarch palette.
Of course you don't have to take my word for it. Kat von D's Monarch palette is available now at Sephora.
