BH Cosmetics party girl palette (review and swatches)

Today ill be talking about a new ish limited edition palette from bh cosmetics. I actually got this quite a while ago during a Christmas sale.
My first experience with bhcosmetics.com over a year ago was a very positive one. So, naturally I expected things to run smoothly as they had before. However -- thus time I ran into problems. Nearly a month passed with no shipping info shipped out, customer service ignored my emails and so on. Eventually, I had to wait on the phone for half an hour to talk to a live person - who told me my package had been lost, or stolen - which I don't believe because I had never even gotten a shipping email. But whatever-I got my package a few days later.

Now the quality of the products disappointed me further, and the party girl palette was no exception. The matte shades were super chalky and the pigmentation was not very good, and patchy.
Anyways, it isn't the worst I've tried, but I was just disappointed because the first time I ordered the products & customers service were awesome!
I did some swatches so you can see for yourself ~
I love column 9! And I think that alone made the palette worth it, since it is very cheap. It definitely isn't a must have palette, so I'd skip it if you already have some great palettes.
All swatches were over an eyelid primer

MUA haul - muastore.co.uk

A few weeks ago MUA's website was having a sale (50% off) plus free international shipping! So, I knew I had to jump aboard that train ,
I ordered palettes from them before, so this time I decided to get a few trios, quads and singles.

The quads are called Extreme Metallic quads. I purchased them in "Glammed Up", "Go Getter", "Celebrity", "Smokin", and "Starstruck." Briefly, from what I've noticed is that they aren't a really EXTREMELY metallic finish, but they are very smooth and fall on the metallic side. These go for £3.00, or about $4.75. However, I got mine for £1.5 or $2.37.

Next, the Trio Eyeshadows I got were called "Chocolate Box" and "Innocence"
These trios were £2.5 or about $3.95 each
But of course I got them for £1.25 or $1.98.
I briefly swatched these upon unboxing, but can't really give you guys an opinion yet (so stay tuned for a full review)

Onto the single eyeshadows
I got these Pearl Eyeshadows in the shades 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 30
They cost £1 each or $1.58, with the 50% discount £0.5 or $0.79
Wowww (:
These eyeshadows are very smooth and come in so many really unique and pretty colors. I'll for sure do swatches and a review on them !

Lastly, I got one palette (£4=$6.32, or (£2 with my 50% off, and that equals $3.16)

Below are photos but I can't find one of the singles :/
