I did not love it, the colors were pretty but looked like a shinny mess once on my eye lids. The only colors that really looked pretty were the darker ones, all the shimmery ones looked the same :( Returned it for a stila kit.

Quick Take: good value
This kit contains 9 beautiful colors and WILL flatter any eye/skin color combination; however, it does not allow for very versatile looks. I don't think there's anything natural about shimmery shadows and only a third of the shadows are matte!! The "day" colors (Heaven, Velvet Revolver, and Sexpresso) blend together very well for a gorgeous look, but the deep brown is far too dark to be considered a "natural" look.
My biggest problem with the description of this palette is that it's "perfectly portable." The casing, while very cute and fun, is a bit bulky and won't fit in most small makeup bags or purses easily. I also wish there was another brush included!
Overall it's a good value because the shadows are quality and the colors do blend nicely, even if you don't use the recommended looks from the "how-to" cards!
I LOVE this shadow collection. All of the looks that come on the cards are great but I do mix and match from time to time. When I run out of the colors in the box I'm going to buy them separately.
The only downside is that the box is kind of bulky but it's not that big of a deal.
Great product and you get it's a great deal for the price!
This is one of the best makeup palettes to ever happen to me. Love all of the colors. They are easy to blend and you can build up on them. You don't have to follow the cards but they are a good way to help you get looks. I will be buying another! Everything you want in a neutral palette.
Wow the colors are great for any type of event because you can use them to glam up or to just look natural! My friend recommended it to me and I'm so glad i have it now. I use it almost everyday!
Quick Take: good value, portable, better than any shadow, does not flake off at all!
I tried this at the store as i was waiting for a make up consultation and i was amazed at the excellent quality of this kit,the shades look very plain but upon seeing the silky texture on my eyes and the very shiny silk wet look on my eyes from a powder shadow,i fell in love with this very sexy kit! perfect size too.
This kit is a must have! I've always had trouble finding brown eye shadows that really complimented my eyes! I would have never picked out any of these colors and paired them up but OH MAN am I glad I picked up this kit during an impulse buy! The how to cards are so useful and the colors look beautiful with my brown eyes...I have never received so many compliments for my eye make up before. I paired it up with Too Faced shadow insurance and the colors just pop! LOVE LOVE LOVE this kit! Love it so much I just ordered the smokey eye kit :)
Quick Take: good value, portable, fabulous neturals
Almost all the colors are great for both day and night. The last "row" of colors contain the most sparkle, so I typically don't wear them to work (I work in a conservative field), but you could if you work in a more creative environment. Long-wearing, particularly with a primer underneath. I recommend the Too Faced Shadow Insurance as the primer along with these shadows - the primer makes a huge difference in how much more intense the colors are. Shadows glide on smoothly and stay put, particularly with the primer, and the box is perfect for travel.
I love this eye shadow collection. A lot of times when you buy an eyeshadow collection you will get some funky colors mixed in that you will never use. Not so in this kit! I love all the colors! The only thing I would change is the kit needs a little mirror inside incase you want to through it in your purse and use it on the go.
I use this everyday. It's good for work and for going out on the town. This is the best eyeshadow kit I have ever purchased. It also stays on until you wash it off.
I love neutral colors....and i just had to have this...and I loved it so much I just had to get a second one!! I love the colors , quality of product and the little instruction cards come in handy....
Best natural eye shadow collection out there- 03.20.10
Quick Take: good value, portable
When I went to the Sephora store my sales girl had this on, I asked what it was and she showed me this set. I have never had such a great collection of shadows that can be used so many ways and seriously worn every day. I am almost tempted to buy a 2nd set to have once I use all of this. I love the bottom right dark brown shadow as my liner, it stays all day and smudges beautifully. Such a great set and brand.
I have never written a review but this product deserved one! It is a wonderful collection for the makeup novice. I hardly ever wear eye makeup and this set has changed that completely. The instruction cards really made the difference. Now I know what to do with all these beautiful colors! If you are new to wearing eye make up or just want to try it again, this is the perfect product.
I'm no makeup guru, so I really appreciate the little flash cards that tell you how to create three different looks. Product itself is great - I've been mixing up my look every day of the week since I got this kit!
Its so versatile! I'm a neutral girl 100% and this provides just enough sparkle and tone to keep me out of the beige color wheel. It's really hard to compliment my fair skin tone and not wash out my face.
I used to use clinique quad eye shadows in spicy for a natural look, but I saw this and wanted to try it, and OMG they are beautiful colors. They blend very well and some of them have a shimmer to them which is very nice. they come with cards that help you how to put them on but i don't think its necessary. You can mix and match and the colors come out great! I'm sticking to this palate sorry clinique.
