The My Must Haves Palette come in either an empty 4 pan palette ($2.90 SGD) or empty 8 pan palette ($3.90 SGD). The individual eyeshadows ($2.90 SGD each) come in a total of 20 different shades which recommended groupings in sets of four however you can choose to mix and match as you please!

Each eyeshadow has 1.7 grams of product, have individual labels and the pans very easily snap into the empty palette making it very easy to arrange and great portability.

This palette is made up of four of the most popular single shadow shades from Essence. It includes a frosty light pink, a medium satin translucent pink, satin deep cool purple and light bronzy peach shade all which are very wearable shades. 

The frosty pink and peach would be great all over the lid as a single shade look. Whereas the first three shades would make a great cool pinky cool. The shadows are all very smooth, medium pigmentation and have a lovely satin/shimmery finish that would flatter everyone.

To get flushed and sculpted cheeks the BLUSHplay Sculpting Blush Palette($7.50 SGD) in 10 play it peach is a blush trio. The shades can be mixed, used individually or used together for a contoured blush look.

The shades included in this trio are very universal and would flatter all skintones. I like that this is a powder product as I find that the best for humid weather. The define shade is satin, the sculpt, matte and the highlight a fine shimmery finish. 

The define and sculpt shades are pigmented, smooth and easy to blend whereas the highlight is very subtle and gives the most natural glow. Definitely multi-use and great for coral/peach lovers.

The Rainbow Prismatic Glow Highlighter in 10 be a unicorn ($6.50 SGD) is a great way to jump onto the rainbow highlight bandwagon without breaking the bank. It's a iridescent, multi-colored powder that gives you the very much sought after "unicorn" look, perfect for those who are daring and like trying out trending things!

As someone who doesn't use any unconventional highlight shades this is really a fascinating product. Each shade has a good amount of color while having a pretty translucent quality which makes these fun colors very wearable as highlight.

For those who want to be subtle, a swirling of the shades is the way to go but if you want a particular shade or want distinct colors then a wider brush and a single swipe will provide the most unicorn approved highlight!

The Hi! Lighting Eyeshadow Mousse ($4.50 SGD) is a mousse eyeshadow that comes in 4 natural shimmery shades. This product is a light whipped texture and applies like a cream with a medium opacity. Meant to be worn alone all over the eye, this can also be used as an inner corner highlight or even as eyeshadow base as I've tried.

For base, the Instant Matt Make-up ($7.50 SGD) comes in 3 shades and is a mousse type of foundation with medium to high coverage with a matt finish. This is suppose to last up to 18 hours and is formulated to feel light on the skin.

The shade 10 matt ivory suits NC20-25 and works well for tones with a yellow undertone. The product has a light sweet floral smell and blends out easily and dries down quickly to a touch dry finish that is ideal for humid and hot weather. Definitely a good matt face product if you can find a match in the small line.

The Volume Stylist 18h Lash Extension Mascara ($5.50 SGD) is a mascara with a diamond shaped brush, it has lengthening fibers in the formula for longer, fuller lashes. I found this mascara easy to apply and it gave the lashes a more volumized and slightly lengthened look. However as it is not a waterproof formula it may not be suitable for many in Singapore during summer unless you are mostly indoors.

For a wet-look, smooth and shiny finish on the lips the Shine Shine Shine Lipgloss ($3.50 SGD) is a lipgloss to create that look! There are seven very wearable shades from a clear gloss to pinks, nudes and a red. Not only is this gloss comfortable and moisturizing but it smells like jelly beans.

Water Kiss Glossy Lip Colour ($4.50 SGD) is  a water-based lip product that feels light and gives a wet-look without as much glossiness as the Shine Shine Shine lipgloss. The product comes in six shades, smells like sweet tea and has a medium to full color intensity. It's very comfortable on the lips and dries down to a slightly wet finish.

For a gradient lip look the Face Your Shade Lipstick ($4.90 SGD) is a black-red lipstick that is to be used to create the ombré/ bitten lips look with a matt finish. There is also another white color version of this product that helps to achieve the look. You can use another lighter shade to mix with this darker shade 02 ombré parfait to get the ombre look!
