Sleek Makeup i-Divine Snapshots Palette Review

Ok you folks, Sleek Makeup is something I've been meaning to check out for a while and when I saw they were doing free shipping I just had to get my hands dirty. It took about a week to get to me, not bad at all. Today I bring to you the Snapshots palette.
AvailabilityThis appears to have been discontinued.
Would I buy this again? I can't say for sure yet.
NotesI chose my palettes based on swatches and the swatches for this looked absolutely stunning, You folks.... this palette just screams my name. Are we seeing these colors? The brights?!? This has two colors that my collection has been in desperate need of because... reasons! Overall, I LOVE this so much, the colors in here are an absolute dream, I can't even express how glad I am to own this.
    According to sleekmakeup.com: "Snapshots i-Divine palette will keep a little bit of summer in your life all year round and is inspired by the vivid colours of the Mediterranean and Caribbean, this palette is the absolute must-have for bright- makeup lovers everywhere. Imitate a Mediterranean sunset with seriously sultry shades of burnt orange, or give a whole new meaning to the post-holiday blues using the three shades of azure to make your tan pop  " I agree 100% this palette really is a must-have for anyone who likes bright eye makeup and its tropical inspiration is just so mermaid-appropriate. *squeal*
Summer Breeze is THE perfect matte mint shade. This is something that was lacking in my collection and I'm so glad to own it, it's superb - buttery, smooth.... gah. I love it! 
Martini is a very frosted off-white champagne shade.
Kiwi Flower is a pretty frosted golden green chartreuse shade.
Lotus Flower is a frosted lavender lilac color, I imagine this would look really beautiful on anyone with a tan.
Humming Bird is a like... WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? Oh magical eyeshadow, I've longed for you... I've dreamed of the moment we'd both hold each other in our arms... I mean WHAT?! This is mermaid magic - a green-based teal with an intense gold pearl. We about that life!
Tequila Sunrise is a FLIPPING AMAZING intense bright frosted orange that is like the eyeshadow version of a Cheeto. I'm excite... I can't wait to use this. 
Sand Walker is a really nice light "blending out"/transition color for my skin-tone, it's a very soft brown. 
Washed Ashore  is the "blending out"/transition color for deeper/warmer skin-tones - it's that perfect orange-y burnt brown shade. 
Sunset is a frosted reddish copper tone.
Green Iguana is a more blue-ish teal color, which normally I'd prefer but the gold in Humming Bird makes it sickening!
Purple Haze is a matte blue-toned purple, so pretty
Magenta Madness is a matte hot pink, I'd say it was more fuchsia (hot pink) versus magenta (purple-y pink).
