Sephora PURE Natural Believer palette in Island Sunset - $15 at sephora.com

During the 15% off sale at Sephora I picked up two of these palettes from the Sephora Collection. These were originally $36 or something and then they were marked down to $15 and had remained there for quite a while. I don't know how long they'll stick around, especially at this price, because they're really nice. Each palette contains 6 shadows and a blush and are packaged in sustainable bamboo and recyclable metal. The Sephora PURE line is all made of ingredients that are at least 95% natural and at least 10% organic. If you're into natural beauty, then you might love these. I found that the quality matched, and in some cases exceeded, the quality of some of my other favorite eye shadow brands. Both palettes that I got contain at least a couple dupes for either Urban Decay or MAC shadows that I love, so that was also a plus.

The Island Sunset palette is filled with warm tones and gorgeous textures. The shadows range in finish from matte to satin, lustre to frost, and are highly pigmented, blendable, and have decent staying power. The packaging is sleek, compact, eco-friendly, and attractive and contains a decently sized mirror. The shade names are listed on the back as well which is nice for a pre-made palette.

Blush: Paradise
Top Row Shadows: Santorini, Havana, Kona
Bottom Row Shadows: Bali, Majorca, Bermuda

Paradise is a warm and soft coral red. It creates a nice and natural flush. 
Santorini is very similar to MAC Nylon. It is mainly just a gold frost, though it appears more ivory in the pan
Havana is a nice bronzey shade, very smooth texture similar to a MAC Veluxe Pearl finish. It's similar to a lot of your basic bronzes
Kona is very similar to MAC Espresso, smooth and pigmented and slightly on the warm side
Bali is a pretty beigey champagne and is similar to a MAC Lustre texture, with small microglitter particles
Majorca is a deep neutral plum/purple. It's smooth and matte and is of medium pigmentation
Bermuda is very similar to MAC Stars n Rockets with a bit less blue
