NARS Extreme Effects Eyeshadow Palette Review

Today I bring to you the NARS Extreme Effects Eyeshadow Palette

AvailabilityThis appears to have been discontinued.
Would I buy this again? I'm not sure.
NotesOk so this palette was originally $59 and the thing is, at my store, we displayed it closed in the box so I didn't even know what this palette looked like. I remember that we got an email saying that it was on markdown and I'm like "I don't even know what this palette looks like and it's $39 now" so I opened it up and just knew that the color story is one that I really wanted to get my hands on. Well, the rest is history. 
Endowed is described as a shimmering duo chrome neutral, I'd say this is an off-white with an intense champagne pearl and silver micro-glitter.
Roleplay is described as a matte beige, I'd say this is a soft, fair, pinky flesh-tone with tiny silver micro-shimmer flecks . 
Take Control is described as a shimmering bronze, um... no... I'd describe this color as a matte mid-tone reddish brown.
Private Eye is described as a shimmering deep wine, I agree with their description.
Pulsing is described as a shimmering light copper, I'd say it's  a metallic coppery gold.
Full Potential is described as a matte mauve pink, I'd  say this is a matte brownish mauve.
Blow is described as a bright pink peach, I'd say it's a soft mid-tone peachy pink. 
Tantric is described as a shimmering soft rose, I'd say that this is a shimmering soft golden pink.
All The Way is described as a(n) orange pink with gold shimmer,  I'd say this is more of a red than a pink, but otherwise I agree with that description.
Code Red is described as a burn brown red, I'd say this is a brownish black base with an intense reddish copper pearl. 
Staredown is described as a shimmering purple, I'd say this is the brownish mauve base with pink and magenta micro-glitter.
Uncensored Black is described as a blackest black, lol no, it's always these softer blacks that have the audacity to call themselves the "blackest black" - it's absolutely not. That said, this shade is still fairly dark, it's a soft black with silver micro-glitter pearl. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

DisclaimerI purchased this myself.
