Tokidoki's Adieu Cromatico Palette is a limited edition eyeshadow palette that includes four shades. Carina is a frosty silver-white with silver, green, and purple shimmer; Ciao Ciao is a metallic magenta pinky-purple with a lavender-blue sheen; Adieu is a metallic amethyst purple with micro-shimmer; and Al Dente is a blackened plum with magenta and purple micro-shimmer. The four shades in this palette do work really well together, and they're wearable in any combination with each other.
Generally, the pigmentation was decent, except for Ciao Ciao, which I found I really had to layer on to really get much colour pay-off. It can get there, but it takes a lot of packing on. It reminds me of MAC's Stars 'n Rockets eyeshadow, but much less pigmented. Aside from Ciao Ciao, the shadows go on very smoothly. Adieu was especially buttery. They blend fairly well, but I do recommend using an eye primer underneath to extend the wear time and prevent fading, especially since Carina has some fall-out. Each eyeshadow is 1.5 grams (or 0.05 oz), which is the same as MAC's single eyeshadows, so the palette is a great value at $33, since it equals to $8.25 for each shadow.
Underneath the eyeshadow is another compartment, where they've included a super-cute complementary zipper pull/key chain (featuring the character, "Adieu," who is also on the front of the palette). My only problem with this is that once you've taken out the zipper pull, you're just left with this big empty compartment and a needlessly bulky container. I feel that Tokidoki could have designed the container better, with a thinner palette holding just the eyeshadows and a space in the outer box to hold the zipper pull. That aside, I found this Cromatico Palette to be worth the value, but if you don't like the shades in this quad, you might find one of the other ones worth checking out.
