Described as "Bronzed Plum" on the Alima website. Like the other Alima shimmer eyeshadows, this has a bad texture when wet--kinda clumpy and hard to even out (it's not much better dry, being extemely dusty and powdery). "Grace" is a cool-to-neutral taupey pale, pale plum with that lovely soft glowy pearl effect common to the Alima shimmer eye shadows (the sheen becomes brighter and slightly more pronounced when the shadows are applied with a damp applicator).

This is another very neutral color that would probably work on most complexions. Dry, it's a neutral pale taupe with a subtle mix of brown and plum tones and a faint moonlit gleam. This one is a hair darker/deeper than Mink and perfect for a very soft-looking smoky eye if you have lighter skin. This one is my favorite out of the samples I got (Mocha and Mink were the other eyeshadows I bought) because it makes my dark eyes glow without looking like makeup. Stays put all day without any creasing or fading, but it is such a light color that I doubt I'd notice if it did fade. May repurchase a smaller sized version of this (love that you have this option!)

Described as a "soft lilac" on the Alima website. May seem a bit chalky at first, but blend, blend, blend and you get a lovely, neutral glowy lid without an overtly pink thing going on, despite the way it looks in the bag (pearly ultra-pale lavender gleam. Sort of like a much paler version of MAC's Pink Opal pigment). It's like the interference of "Mink" but without the taupe base color. Wet, it is merely a more intense version of itself. Still not chalky though, due to the subtle, lustrous finish. I'm not sure if I'd repurchase, though. I personally prefer the browns and taupes from Alima better as they show up more nicely on me.
