There are six generously sized shadows in this palette, five shimmers and one matte. When I say generously sized, I mean almost twice the size of an Urban Decay single shadow. Emerald Pretty takes it's inspiration from The Wizard of Oz's Emerald City, and I've got to admit I had to look up Ozma, as it wasn't ringing a bell for me. I'm glad I did, as she wasn't in The Wizard of Oz, but appeared in all the other books in the series and is the rightful ruler of Oz. Heck, I wasn't even aware there were other books! My education is clearly incomplete.
But, back to the shadows.
- Glinda's Kiss is a white shimmer with a gold sheen and makes for a nice highlighter
- Silver Shoes is a dark gray shimmer
- Dandy Lion is an olive green with a dark gold shimmer - such a pretty color!
- Saw Dust Heart (love the name) is a dark chocolate brown matte
- Ozma is a peacock teal shimmer
- Very Wicked is a greenish/grayish color that I found rather unique.

The shadows themselves are smooth, richly pigmented, soft, and great all around. The only downside I'm seeing is the size of the palette, as it's a bit unwieldy. I'm sorry to see Tarina Tarantino leave Sephora but glad there will still be ways to get my hands on her makeup! This palette retails for $36.
