Context: Monolith is a webshop that sells overseas indie brands in Europe for an up charge, shipping from I believe Switzerland? They usually charge so much more that often buying directly from the indie brand is actually cheaper, even after fees, but are a good place to get a lot of things that don't ship to you.
Anyway, they now have a house brand they spent a good while gradually revealing and this is their full palette reveal, Jewels of Eternity.
I did not include the cover and went straight for the swatches from their story as this palette includes multichrome pigments. They sent a lot of PR around but I did not find proper swatches from a POC or Black influencer; that's not to say they don't exist, they've spammed stories all week and perhaps I missed it, just why they aren't included in my post because there isn't any right now.
However, they did not include the price anywhere – in their countless stories, in all the influencer promos, in their posts, in the launch announcements, or anywhere else. I find that a bit irritating, having a huge indie collection I know that multichromes are expensive so this won't be cheap and I don't want to buy an expensive palette on a whim when it's dropped with no time to check the product amount etc.
All that being said, I'm not quite sure how I feel about it – what do we think?
ETA- I have learned they put it straight on the website and it is 70€, the price isn't available anywhere else in promo material. Also, the site listing includes two arm swatches, zero of which are on brown or Black skin. Its just two white arms. They passed out PR like candy so that's not an indie brand being poor, that's a choice.

I don’t know much about them as a company other than what you wrote but those duo/multi chromes look squishy as hell. Pretty, but I could never wear them with my textured lids.
i’m a sucker for multichromes and cool tones so i really love this plus im sick of hearing of celebrity brands
i will say im suprised its a bigger palette with many shades for their first release. they really said go big or go home lol e
