Glad you have your box albeit not exactly as described - but the substitutions sound pretty good if you weren't bothered about the specific palette. They've obviously arrived in stock now hence this other box!
As for the
Bioeffect I chase had a full size (ie teeny!) sample before and used it all up with no side effects that I know of?! I didn't know what you said about the cancer scare
I found it great at the time but was unaware of the price of it and when I found out I promptly forgot about the stuff!
Hope someone has some info on it for you.
