Review 1 for Velvet Eyeshadow
perfect for green eyes!
-01.26.13
I purchased rich beach and fancy pancy. I love both colors! They are perfect for my green eyes but I think these colors would work with every eye color. It does give it more of a satin finish if you apply it wet. A soft shimmer/satin for any age but especially for aging eyes. It goes on smooth and lasts for a long time. I only gave it 4 stars but I do think it is a bit pricey. I wish sephora would stock up on other colors because I look forward to trying the other colors.

Review 2 for Velvet Eyeshadow
Review 3 for Velvet Eyeshadow
Awesome!
-12.29.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant, perfect!
My sister had her make up done in a aephora store in november and they lady used this eye shadow on her in fancy pansy and it looked amazing on her but she didnt have the money to buy it that day even tho she really really wanted it. So I went back and got it for her to give her for christmas. She flipped out and it looks even better on her when she did it herself. It really is the best quality eyeshadow and doesnt crease at all. She has oily skin so most shadows do crease on her after a full day of wear but nope not this one. She couldnt be happier with it and I couldnt be happier that she loves it so much! <3

Review 5 for Velvet Eyeshadow
BUY THIS....!!! NO REGRETS
-12.12.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant
This eyeshadow is MY ALL TIME FAVORITE one. I came across it because I was looking to replace a discontinued color in another brand.. I have to say, this is in my top 10 makeup necessities. The finish is very elegant.. it has a nice velvety and fine shimmer. Does not look tacky and overdone like a lot of eyeshadows out there. Texture is perfect.. feels like a "powder version" of a cream shadow, very pigmented.
The "Bo beep" color is perfect if you have light/pale skin and tend to go for a natural looking make-up. A little shows a lot, so you don't need to use much. With a brush and a dab, i just put a bit on my eyelids for a nice awake pop! in the eyes. Along with some mascara you are ready to roll.. looking refreshed.
Looks very natural..!!! it can also be build up if going out =)

Review 6 for Velvet Eyeshadow
Awesome shadow!
-12.10.12
This is a great color for the everyday wash of color. Benefit's Velvet eye shadows are among my favorites because they feel so good on and give eye brightening color. Leggy is another favorite :)

Review 7 for Velvet Eyeshadow
Great Colours, Great Coverage!
-11.19.12
Quick Take: blends easily, crease resistant
I absolutely love this eyeshadow. A friend had bought Bikini Line (desert sand) for me for my birthday a couple years ago, and I just keep buying more when I run out. I recently picked up Fancy Pansy (iridescent violet) and I love it too. The colours aren't super pigmented, but they're steadfast enough to be noticeable. The Bikini Line colour does wonders on blue eyes (just enough gold to make them pop).
The eyeshadow itself has great coverage, and when used in combination with Smashbox Lid Primer, holds true all day (and I've got dry eyes that water at the slightest provocation).

Review 8 for Velvet Eyeshadow
VELVET
-10.09.12
they really mean it when they say velvet...this eyeshadow is SO silky and smooth and blends easily. I have it in Bikini Line...I am strongly considering buying other colors. The colors look extremely vibrant in the palette, but they apply to your skin more sheer and you can layer as you wish. Love it.

Review 10 for Velvet Eyeshadow
My favorite eyeshadow
-09.13.12
Quick Take: blends easily, crease resistant
The benefit velvet eyeshadow collections are by far my favorite eyeshadows on the market. They go on so incredibly smooth and give the perfect amount of shimmer. The eyeshadow goes on so soft and it is easy to control how much or little you put on. Love!

Review 11 for Velvet Eyeshadow
Nice shadow
-08.29.12
I use Bikini Line nearly every day and occasionally use Rich Beach. I personally wish that Rich Beach had a little better color payoff and can't see myself re-purchasing. One great thing about these is the large amount of product - lasts ages!

Review 13 for Velvet Eyeshadow
Soft buttery eyeshadow
-08.19.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant, very soft, beautiful shades
I own 5 of these and absolutely adore each one; I plan to purchase more in the future. They are so incredibly soft and buttery and apply very smoothly to the eye. I appreciate how natural these look on the eye and love that they don't contain any glitter. I use primer underneath and find that these will last 15 hours that way. They do not crease on me either.
Ps. Benefit also makes additional colors that Sephora doesn't sell!

Review 14 for Velvet Eyeshadow
Love 'Leggy' eyeshadow
-08.11.12
Quick Take: blends easily, crease resistant, portable/travels well, feminine
This is a pretty soft neutral pink-beige with a light shimmer that can be worn day or night. It applies easily with fingertip [though I prefer brush] and lasts longer and creases less than other eye shadows.
Mixes well with lighter colours from Urban Decay Naked II.

Review 15 for Velvet Eyeshadow
Benefit Velvet Eyeshadow in Fancy Pansy
-08.06.12
Quick Take: highly pigmented
The shade I have is in Fancy Pansy-a lilac, duocrome-y purple. This is one of my favorite colors of eyeshadow in my collection and I bet it would go with many different eye colors. The eyeshadow itself has great pigmentation and lasts quite a long time with eyeshadow primer (as far as I know I haven't tried it without primer). I would definitely recommend this eyeshadow.

Review 16 for Velvet Eyeshadow
Benefit Velvet Eyeshadow in Fancy Pansy
-08.06.12
Quick Take: highly pigmented
The shade I got was in Fancy Pansy. It is sort of a lilac, duocrome-y purple that is super pretty. It's one of my favorite eyeshadow colors. The actual eyeshadow has great pigmentation. I haven't tried this without an eye primer but with an eye primer it does last quite a long time. I think these are great eyeshadows and in particular the Fancy Pansy shade is a great color to own.

Review 17 for Velvet Eyeshadow
Rich Beach is beautiful!
-08.02.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant
I spend weeks trying to find my perfect nude eyeshadow. I came across Rich Beach and I regret not trying it sooner. It is a beautiful shade that I wear every day even though I have tons of other eyeshadows. It is very smooth and blends easily. It also stays on all day (I also use primer) and it doesn’t fade or crease. I will definitely try the other shades.

★Bikini Line★
-07.30.12
Quick Take: very soft & buttery feeling
This is a very pretty buttery soft light goldy color...lasting power is so so but my lids R super oily..when used with a primer its much better. The price is on par with many of the mid-high end brands sold. Packaging is sturdy & pretty, overall I'm pleased with this shadow.

Review 19 for Velvet Eyeshadow
perfect for inner corner
-07.28.12
Quick Take: pearly, soft, creamy, packaged beautifully
This color is the perfect pearly color for inner corner/tear duct brightening. This is the second one of these Velvet Eyeshadows I own - they're fantastic! They really are soft and velvety and the packaging is darling.
