It's actually made in italy. (it says so on the back of the pallet)

These colors applied wet will give the shades a brighter and more metallic finish.

this is definitely good for blue eyes... but only if you want your saturation to be very LOW. It does not apply heavily so I actually think the only way to wear this is wet. I have blue eyes, loved the color options but returned it because it was so hard to get a good pigment on my brush.

Wet doesnt work for me personally, however I tried it and the colors stayed true.
I also have the nude palette and the colors are different- great colors I love it!

They are a little more bold. I personally like them better wet, because I like a bolder color. It seems like the sparkles are heavier when you apply wet. It still has a semi-translucent effect though, so it is not over bearing.

I have both the nude palette and this one. It does work just as well as the nude dry and wet. I also have blue eyes and I use this palette. It is just lovely for winter no matter what your eye color. Hope this helps!

I have blue/ blue gray eyes and these looked great on me. I use them wet also. I usually use a light color all over my lid to the crease then use a dark color wet as a top lid liner. I tried about 7-8 different combinations an all were great. I own a lot of the baked eyeshadows and if you like the nude set, I think that you will love In the Dark as well. Have fun playing!

The top row applies similiar to the nude palette (I have that one too), the bottom row is suitable for both a sheer layer of color, as well as for producing a smokey eye-- if done very carefully and with lots of blending. I have used two of the bottom row colors wet as eyeliner, and it was perfect. Very smooth and lasted well.

Colors pop more and the shadow looks much better when applied wet.

I like the shadow applicator with sponge tip for application.

use a regular eye shadow applicator for the base color (the lighter shades on top) then use a crease or blended eyeshadow brush for a smokey look for the darker color (on the bottom)

I use the I.T sephora shadow brush. It works wonderfully with the palette

Baked shadows are easier to apply with a sponge applicator. I usually smooth it out with a brush if I'm doing a lot of blending, but to get them out of the palette it's usually easier to use the sponge first or all the color and sparkle gets compounded onto itself instead the brush.

it is only available at Sephora

If you mean, is it available in the stores, then yes. I am not sure what other market you would be referring to.
Hope this helps!

I bought one online on 11/10/2011

I don't think they have the exact colors separately, but the nude shimmer reminds me of Sephora's eyeshadow in Peach. It's not as sparkly and it's a more of a peachy nude. Hope this is helpful!

I'm no expert, but I do my best friend's make up a lot and I actually bought her this palette for her birthday! She has medium brown hair, green eyes and a light-medium complexion. I often use the first color (top,far left) to highlight under her brow and her inner corners. I use the second to last on the right, top row, and sweep it all over her lid and crease (little bit on the bottom lash line). Then I take the color to the left of it and apply it on the outer 2/3 of the crease and the outer 1/2 of the lid. Then, I use the second farthest left color on the bottom row to outline her upper and lower lash line, creating a small wing. Finally, I use the middle color on the bottom row to extend the lash line and create a semi-smokey eye, by blending it into the crease. She really likes it! I think it looks good on lighter skin-tones as well, as I am super light and have tried it on my skin-tone. I hope this helps a little bit, or sparks some creativity!
