I have a love for palettes that are very neutral looking. I specially love the Urban Decay Original Naked palette and palettes that are in the same color scale.
What I like about the Clinique' 8 pan eyeshadow palettes are that, as the name says, there are 8 different eyeshadows inside the palette. The palette is very slim and easy to travel with.

As mentioned above the Clinique palette are very travel friendly, it fits into the palm of my hand and only that makes is perfect to travel with. It also has a mirror inside that are the same size as the palette. The palette comes with a standard applicator, which has a brush at one end, and a sponge applicator at the other end.
The packaging itself is a mirror packaging. I like the look of that because it looks sophisticated and very sleek.

In my opinion the Clinique Neutral Territory 2 eyeshadow palette mainly feature warm and rich neutral burgundy shades. The shades inside the palette are burgundy, purple and pink toned. But there are a few good neutral shades, which I find, balance out the palette a lot.
The quality of the shades inside the palette is amazing. The pigmentation is to die for. That is how good it is. I am a big fan of the pigmentation of this palette.

The shades inside the palette:
Sugar Cane: a light and bright shimmering metallic white color
Light Shade of Diamonds and Pearls Duo: a beige shade with a satin finish and yellow undertones
Light Shade of Neutral Territory Duo: a darker beige with a satin finish
Light Shades of Day into Date Duo: a dusty pink color with a satin finish
Brown Shade of Polar Blue Quad: a gray color with purple undertones
Hazy: a dusty brown-gray toned purple with a satin finish
Black Honey: a rich red toned brown. Almost a coppery-russet brown-red shade
Dark Brown Shade of Morning Java Quad: a deep and dark burgundy-brown metallic shades

So if you are on the hunt for finding a new travel/small, neutral eyeshadow palette I would recommend looking this way. I am definitely going to take a look on the other palettes that are in this range of eyeshadow palettes.
