not that great
-05.05.13
I regret buying this so I returned it. The only thing you could do was a smokey eye look, which is too expensive for the price of the kit. The eyebrow wax was too waxy, it didn't look real on my brows, and the color of the wax was more for someone with lighter hair color. The eye liner was very nice, but was also super tiny. The eye shadows were very good quality I have to say. If you are looking to buy something for smokey eye look only, I would recommend this.

Quick Take: portable, good value, good for the price
This creates the perfect smokey eye for me! it's not too dark and black -- it's very light. The packaging makes it great for when you're going out as well and need to give your eyebrows a quick fix or fix your makeup.
Also comes with a mirror in the packaging which is also a plus!
I wore this to work a few times and still look professional with a bit of an edge.

Quick Take: portable, good value
This is my GO TO smokey eye kit for a night out! I would cry if Benefit ever discontinued this one :) The charcoal gray is shimmery & gorgeous, and the ballerina pink is an excellent highlighter. Also, I use this on a regular and the shadows have literally lasted a couple years! I lost my little tweezers that come with the kit long ago- But still use the brow wax to fill in my brows, leaving them full and defined. One of Benefit's best products!

Perfect smokey eye!!

I love benefits eye kits..they are just so compact and the looks are gorgeous yet simple. I've never been able to create a perfect smokey eye and with the instructions it's impossible to mess up! I wish every eye pallet came with such detailed instructions!!

I can't say how much I love this kit. I have had it for over a year and I honestly use it more than any other product(s). It has everything you need for an awesome smokey eye for either day or for a night out. Truly perfect.

Quick Take: portable, good value, good quality, long wearing
I just adore this little palette! It has everything you need to do your eyes and brows except for mascara. I literally have hundreds of eyeshadows and am very good at doing a smokey eye so I wasn't looking for something to teach me I just loved everything that came in it and had been wondering what the eyebright was like (I personaly like cordinating kits so you don't have to look around for shades that go well together). I like how I can create different looks with the palette and they all look very pretty! The eyeshadows are quality eyeshadows as is the eyeliner... it stays put all day unlike some other liners that will migrate up into my crease and I can use this to line the inner rims of my eyes. I really do like the eyebright to brighten and open up my eyes (I almost always apply a light shade to the inner corners to brighten and open up my eyes) I liked the consistancy of it and the staying power... I like how it is different than just applying a light shadow even though you get pretty much the same effect it's a really nice shade. The brow zing is a new and different product for me, personaly I prefer using an eyebrow pencil but this is nice too, I like how it holds the shape of your brows so I usualy use my regular eyebrow pencil and then just very lightly top it wtih this so the hairs don't stray. The brush that comes with this is a lot better quality than the brushes that come in most palettes, although I do like to use my own specific brush to do the crease color and outer corner color, but this works great for the base shade and the brow zing. And it's just a plus that there are mini tweezers and a mirror in the kit so just in case you need a touch up or to tweeze a stray hair it really comes in handy which makes it great for traveling. With all that you get in this I really think it is worth the money... I had waited a bit before purchasing it because of how much makeup I have but I am really happy that I did, it's a wonderful addition to my collection!

Nice palette
-01.01.13
I really do love this palette. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was the value is not great. You dont get very much for the high price. The shadows are tiny and I cant use the brow zing because my hair is too dark. But the quality is very good as expected

Great travel smokey eye kit!
-12.30.12
Quick Take: portable, good value
I really love the eyeshadow colors in this palette. Also the step by step instructions are quite helpful because I really didn't know what the heck the other products were!! I tried the pink wax and I find it doesn't really show up very well. The brow wax is quite handy if you don't want to bring extra products while traveling. Overall, a great palette with flattering colors! I don't do black smokey eyes well with my olive skin tone. I just look dead. I always try to do dark brown smokey eyes because it works better with olive skin tones. This one's a good one. Perfect for travel!!

Perfect Eyes

This set contains perfect colors for a smoky eye. I've been able to create the look I have wanted for a long time with this kit. Definitely will repurchase since the eye shadows are not available in singles.

Nice smokey eye palette
-04.29.12
Quick Take: portable, good value, compact
I just purchased and so far so good. The colors are very flattering and blend nicely. I find really no use for the wax as it is so light and I have black hair and eyebrows, The tweezers seem to be convenient to have in this case but they don't grip hair very well at all. The brushes are ok I guess if you are traveling and don't want to bring a whole sleeve of brushes but I don't recommend them for daily use. I def, like the colors and I like that it is a lighter smokey eye. I feel it is less harsh and not as dark as other kits I have tried in the past. Haven't noticed any fallout for these shadows at all yet and grip very nicely to my brushes, This and the Big beautiful eye kit are the first Benefit products I have tried. I'm usually a too faced/urban decay user but with the quality of both kits so far, I think I may be a new and long time customer. Satisfied customer.

Great product! The cosmetics are of good quality and all apply nicely, and the tools work well for applying it. I also like that you have everything you need one one smallish box. You get a great smokey eye turn-out but the colors they included keep it dramatic without being too harsh. Really makes my big brown eyeballs stand out that much more!

This is a nice easy compact to tote around. The tweezers were surprsingly accurate. I like the fact that everything is housed in one place. The colors are great and soft. You cannot go wrong.

Outstanding Idea
-03.06.12
Too bad my eyes aren't suited for the smoky eye. Saw no need to keep it, it just made my narrow almond shaped eyes appear smaller. I would however recommend this and almost every other Benefit product. They truly have amazing products!

Love the eyeshadow and black liner, But the brow wax I don't like it, it's to thick. The eye bright is also too thick.

Bought this on a whim one day and it has become my go-to eye kit. I use it all the time. Turns out I love the eye shadow and this is a great combo of colors. The tools included have come in very handy, too. I'm shopping today looking for another Benefit kit 'cause I've liked this one so much.
