Absolutely Wonderful!
-06.12.13
Quick Take: good value, travel size, easy to use, really durable, lasts a long time
I've forgotten that my Aunt had bought this for me for a birthday gift for my 13th birthday, and I kind of put this on the side because I didn't use make-up at that age. Haha. But, now that I'm turning 18, I've started to get into make-up and I finally used this! It's absolutely wonderful. The concealer really conceals my dark circles and blemishes, the pink shade really helps to brighten my eyes on my brow bone, the shimmering brown shade is a great as an all-over base, and the matte dark brown color is really great for a smokey effect. Not only does the coloration amaze me, but the fact this thing was still good after 3 years is truly amazing! This is a great thing to have for an every day look or for the type of person who needs a long lasting product.

Love for brown eyes
-05.26.13
I love this kit. I have terrible under eye circles and the concealer is the best. The shadow is fantastic quality and beautiful. The dark shadow is my favorite eye liner. This is a daily kit for me and over the past few years I've purchased 2 already and about to purchase a new one. A little pricey but worth it because it is the perfect everyday eye makeup.

Not my favourite
-05.17.13
Quick Take: travel size
Pretty pricey for everything it does. The concealer is really heavy on the lids, and colors are too pink, not really neutral. It made my face looking not so fresh. Make sure to try on before you buy.

Great for on-the-go

Quick Take: good value, travel size
I have this little palette in my purse for updating my look after work if I am going to an event in the evening. It's perfect to add more depth and evening glamor. The concealer is not a great match for me, hence the 4 stars, but the pink base is great and the medium contour color is easy to apply with the little brush. I love the eye liner color and the eye liner brush so I don't have to carry brushes in addition to the little palette. Overall, this is a great addition to your traveling makeup!

Great for Everyday
-04.28.13
I am a huge Benedit fan because of the simplicity of their products and this palet is no exception. The three eyeshadow shades are very pretty with a subtle shimmer. I've never used Boi-ing, but it's a lifesaver! It makes my dark circles and the bags under my eyes virtually disappear. The instructions that it comes with are simple and loaded with great tips. This was a great buy!

Great kit!
-04.07.13
Quick Take: good value, easy to use
I have only recently started doing more eye makeup, I used to just be a mascara/eyeliner girl. This was a great kit to stat using. The colors are neutral enough for an every day look, but it can also be ramped up to a nighttime look!

Wow

Quick Take: good value, travel size
Love this little kit, I always get compliments when I use it. Great quality shadows and beautiful colors.
I don't really care for the included Boing Concealer. The texture is thick and was difficult for me to blend. It made my undereye area look very cakey. I use Benefit Stay Don't Stray Concealer instead (love this!) and everything stays put.

Cool Shades
-03.05.13
Quick Take: travel size
The concealer covered well and stayed in place if set with powder. It seemed a bot too dark for my fair skin with yellow undertones. I did like how thick it went on and smoothed my lines under my eyes. The eye shadows were okay but too cool of shades for me. The crease color was sparkly and I prefer a more matte shadow for my crease. The colors seem to draw more attention to my dark circles, although that is common with cool shades. Overall it didn't work for me but I think it would work well for younger eyes.

Great Colors, ok value
-02.19.13
Quick Take: decent value
I got this set because I'm always buying large palettes and only using the same three shades. The concealer and brush work really well and I love the shimmery colors but the matte brown didn't go on very well. I have to use primer and a wet brush to get the color to stick. I also don't like that it is two shimmery shades and one matte. I wish they would've made this with a dark metallic brown instead.

Great product!
-01.19.13
Quick Take: good value, travel size, very good concealer, lovely shadows, good quality brushes, easy instructions, great for beginners and experts alike!
I bought this product a few weeks ago, and I love it! I was looking for a small, portable eye kit that I could take with me everywhere, from traveling to going out on the town. And I found it, thanks to Benefit!
I love the concealer included in this kit because it matches my skin tone perfectly. It covers my undereye bags and dark circles very well. It's ceamy and doesn't turn cakey, even when I'm overheated. The eyeshadows are very pretty and natural, and I use them every day. They are barely there, but contour your eyes and bring out their natural, beautiful shape.
This kit is very informative, with a step-by-step guide on how to apply the shadows and concealer. It comes with two little brushes, one for concealer and another for shadows, that are good quality. I think that this would be a great kit for a girl just getting into makeup. I bought one for my younger sister, who has been begging me to teach her how to do makeup, and she loves it, also.
All in all, this is a great , portable product, but it is a little pricey for what you get. The concealer would work for a plethora of skin tones, and the shadows are very beautiful basics. If you have a daughter or niece that is starting to dabble around in makeup, this would make a great gift. I will probably buy this again if I use it all up.

BEST MAKEUP PURCHASE EVER!!!!
-01.19.13
Quick Take: good value, travel size, easy to use, beautiful, daytime eye, versatile, sexy, long lasting, blends well, amazing
I bought this kit in 2009 and used it almost every day and it lasted 2 years, with some of the darker color and medium shade still around in 2012! It is a FANTASTIC buy, and it looks AMAZING on my face, it's just perfect for me. THE BEST DAYTIME EYE LOOK OUT THERE. For sure. And it can actually transition to night with a little touch up after work. I love love love this product. LOVE IT. The blending just looks professional EVERY time!

I am not ashamed to admit that I am very amateur at applying makeup. This set came with instructions that are fail proof. The colors are amazing, even with my dark eyes and hair. I will only buy Benefit eyeshadow from now on. There's no comparison!

I will never use anything but Benefit eyeshadows ever again. Your eyes look brighter, younger and less tired. It does not matter which eye kit you get, I have tried most of them. Benefit shadows are superior

Quick Take: good value
I first bought this for myself and it's a great way to brighten your eyes. It's a very pretty look that you can wear to work. I have dark hair, and dark eyes.
My sister came to me for advice since she doesn't wear a lot of make up, and I bought her this. The instructions made it easy for her to use it and she looks amazing with it! She has blonde hair and blue eyes.
I've actually put it in my purse for emergency make up situations!!

The perfect eye palette
-01.01.13
Love this palette. The colors are the perfect mix to truly highlight and define your eyes. The concealer works very well. May be a bit dark for some. I have fair skin so it just barely worked. The quality is all amazing and a great value.
