The Newest Pat McGrath Mothership X Moonlit Seduction Palette has 10 new shaes in 7 finishes. The finishes include smoky mattes, alluring astrals, molten metallics, and one sextastic duochrome. I love anything that has to do with the moon, so I love the name of the palette. Pat designs her Mothership Palettes in a certain way. The first six shade, three on top, and three underneath, are matte and metallic shades. Also this is where the anchor shades are. The anchors are plum, rose and taupe The last four shades are the jewels of the palette, the special shades, two are on the top, and two are underneath them. Two are Astral Shades, and two are Blitz shades. The palette shades are on the cool side, the shades themselves are modern nudes, Pat McGrath Style! Hold on to your seat- there is a lot of sparkle and a lot of shine in this palette! So, let’s get into it!
You can find the newest Pat McGrath Mothership X Moonlit Seduction Palette on the Pat McGrath Website. The Palette (0.68 0z./ 19.5g) costs $128. I realize it is a big price tag for a ten eyeshadow shade palette. However, the Mothership Palettes are created by Pat, and you will never find the incredible formulas and shades that only Pat can create. Also, the Mothership Palettes are not just for eyes. These palettes are considered Artistry Palettes, that you can use on cheeks, as highlighters, and bronzers.
The outer box is cardboard, and is made to look like an envelope, with incredible artwork on it. I prefer keeping my Mothership Palettes in their outer box. So, there is no need for recycling the box. 
The palette is the same shiny black plastic, with gold Hieroglyphics on the front, that can be deciphered as Pat McGrath, London, England, Eyes. 
Inside, the palette has a magnetic closure, underneath the mirror is a large beveled mirror. On the other side are ten very large circular eyeshadow pans, in two horizontal rows of five. There is no need to worry about recycling the gorgeous case, because you will collect these palettes, and keep them forever! They really are that special!
Most important, cream is infused with powder to create the hybrid formula. Hence, the the texture of the eyeshadows is soft and creamy. The emollient-like texture allows the shadows to glide across your eyelids. The end result is the shadows blend easily, transition seamlessly and do not crease. Also, they are richly pigmented, Therefore, you can achieve rich intensity with one stroke of the brush.
Most important, there are powder-luxe pressed eye shadows in the palette. Moreover, the formulas include matte, pearl and sparkle finishes. In addition, there are modern hybrid pigmented formulas with metallic, satin sheen, iridescent, duochrome and holographic finishes.
