My experience with Revlon 16 hr Eyeshadow Palette “Adventurous”:
I purchased this palette a month ago when my friend was trying some lipsticks at Revlon counter. My eyes fell on this palette and there were so many shade ranges in this category that I had a really difficult time choosing one. I finally settled on this one since I particularly loved the olive green shade. This palette comes in a black plastic casing with a transparent lid above.  It also comes with a dual sponge applicator which I have apparently misplaced. As you can see in the pictures, there’s also a diagram depicted at the back on how to use it. 
I have to say that I’m very disappointed with this eyeshadow palette. The first is a white shade with golden shimmer that looks almost yellow on my complexion. As a highlighter, I prefer something more neutral and with less yellow tinge but this appears very yellowey. All the shades have a nice and buildable pigmentation but the texture of the olive green and coppery shade is a little irregular and hard which is why blending of these two eyeshadows require a little more than gentle effort on the eyes. Even the texture of the taupe eyeshadow is a little stiff. 
I have tested all of these shades on my eyes individually and sadly they are poor in staying power area too.
