Ta Dah! This is my completed palette after many hours of research on which shadows to buy. I chose Satin Taupe, All That Glitters, Woodwinked and Embark. All of the eye shadow pans are magnetised which ensures they wont fall out of the palette and smash.
Satin Taupe: A shimmery taupey/brown with a slight hint of purple. Looks pretty during the day when blended into the crease with more neural colours to tone it down and also looks great with darker shades for a night smokey eye.
All That Glitters: A champagne colour with gold shimmer. A Perfect colour for everyday use that also looks gorgeous when blended with any of the other colours.
Woodwinked: A warm, bronze/brown colour with shimmer. Looks great blended into the corners of the eyes with a lighter gold over the lid and also all over the eye for a night-time look.
Embark: A matte dark brown with purple undertones. This is the perfect crease colour for people with green eyes, as the purpley red undertones really bring out the green.

In Australia, each individual refill eyeshadow pan costs a whopping $26, while the empty palette itself costs $10. So in total I spent $114 on 4 eyeshadows... Although I did build up my collection over 2 or so months, in my opinion that is a ridiculous amount to spend. While the pigmentation of the shadows is VERY good and they all blend together flawlessly, I don't think the quality is any better than some of the other brands on the market.
The Stila 'In the Light' palette and the Urban Decay Naked Palettes both include more than double the amount of eyeshadows and are half the price. Although it can be a pain having to order online, the savings definitely make it worth it in my opinion.
