This mini palette comes in a cream colored box. Both the front and back feature a framed bright fuchsia background. On the front we can see Jasmine and Aladdin are sounded by a golden moon and outlined leaves. On the back we can see the names of each color along with a preview of that color in the shape of magic carpet. The bar code also features magic carpet. The side of the box has the quote "Shut your eyes and take a chance".

The palette itself is just a bit smaller than the box it comes in. The front of the palette features a gorgeous scene inspired by the Disney movie Aladdin. Jasmine and Aladdin are ridding off into the sunset (even though it was night when they took their trip in the movie). You can see their silhouettes against the gold moon (which the natural light in my house in illuminating). In the background behind golden creme clouds is the Palace of Agrahba. A diamond pattern is placed over the whole background image which looks like a pattern on a carpet. The attention to detail on this one image is amazing. There is a small lamp on the left corner and the whole image is outlined by a fuchsia border with a golden pattern, bright blue fish in the corners, and a back outer boarder with slightly curved golden tips (like Jasmines shoe). Just wow! The back features the name and location of the colors in this palette.

The shades are arrange with the lighter shades on the left side while the brighter and darker shades on the right.

On
Sephora's website this product is described as "An illuminating eye shadow palette containing four shimmering shadows inspired by Arabian romance." While the shades look a bit flat in the pan they do have quite a bit dimension when applied. The shades included are Carpet, Wonder by Wonder, Splendid, and Diamond Sky. The pigmentation over all is acceptable. There is only one shade that was a bit of a disappointment but all shades worked well together, blended easily, and staid on for at least 5 hours before i seen any sign of fading (longer if you use primer).
(After looking at
Sephora's online description i do think there is a bit of a mix up since they labeled Carpet as a glittery violet (upper left) and Wonder by Wonder as a glittery lavender (upper right). Carpet is obviously a lavender while Wonder by Wonder is violet. I will refer to these shades by their right color reference.)
Carpet (upper left corner)- Is described as a glittery lavender though i personally feel it leans more pink. This shade has a frost finish. This shade is soft but had no noticeable fallout. While described as a glitter, i did not see any glitter in this shade.
Wonder by Wonder (upper right corner)- This shade is described as a glittery violet this shade contains a bit of micro glitter. The glitter leans a bit lighter purple and i had a hard time swatching it. It is only visible in the second swatch photo with the flash on. The glitter does fall out so if you are hoping for the glitter to stay put i suggest a tacky primer and patting this shade on. Overall this shade had decent pigmentation but i wish it had been richer. It needs to be built up to become opaque.
Splendid (lower left corner)- This shade is described as a glittery peachy pink. This shade also lacks glitter but has a nice frosty finish. It is a great neutral shade to allow the brighter colors like Wonder by Wonder and Diamond Sky to really pop. This shade applied with good pigmentation and was easy to blend. It is a very soft shade that can be worn on its own or as a lid, brow bone, or inner corner of the eye shade.
Diamond Sky (lower right corner)- This shade is a deep turquoise. It is the brightest of the four and has a bit of a pearlesq finish to it. It even reflects a bit green in some light. Blends well but was so soft i had some fallout. Be careful when applying. This shade makes a great crease shade.

Overall i think this shimmery palette is great for a neutral look with just a pop of color. While many shades are described as glittery, there is only one shade that contains micro glitter (Wonder by Wonder). The packaging alone is quite beautiful and really a collectors piece. With overall good quality this is a very wearable palette. The price point is a bit off since for only $25 more you can purchase the entire Storybook Palette, however, these shades are not included in the Storybook Palette. If you like to wear brights and experiment with colors go with the Storybook Palette. If you like something small and compact with just a bit of bright color go with Magic Carpet Ride Eyeshadow Palette.You can
find this piece at
Sephora and
Sephora.com. for $30 Check out my other reviews on the
