The product is not bad but its not the best. I love the idea of having two colors, yet I wish they lasted more and had more pigment. I've used with primer and still not such a great result...

Nice dual color but not much picks up
-04.22.13
The product isn't difficult to open at all, the ends just untwist. The two colors are nice but the end pads don't pick up much so you need to apply twice. Decent though.

Quick Take: golden-y, long-lasting
Was originally going to purcahe Tarte Emphis-eyes but since they were out of stock at the store I was at, I had to get this. It doesn't make a big difference but it's still pretty.

Very disappointed. Hard to get caps off the end. Feel like I'm breaking it each time. Won't be using much at all

Not Great
-02.18.13
I got this product to use on the inside corner of my eye and on my brown bone, but it was not what I wanted. Sadly it was confusing to get the color out of the ends of the stick. I bought the high beem my Benifit and I love it!

This works well so I'm glad I bought it. Probably not a critical item b/c I have a brightener compact, but it's very convenient and does what it says. Definitely recommend it.

Works great... if you KNOW HOW TO USE IT
-01.03.13
Quick Take: blends easily
I've had this product for maybe a month and was unhappy with it at first.... then I went on Tarte's website and read some of the Q&A's and realized I WAS DOING IT ALL WRONG!!!!
It's NOT eyeshadow... it will crease if you try to use it as such. I'm not as annoyed with the springs as some are...
Like I said. if you do what it says and apply it to the corners of your eyes, lashline and/or under brows, it's PERFECT!
Remember: A little goes a loooooong way.... whatever is on the tip when it comes out is ENOUGH for one application (corners). After that, I use the tip to kinda blend and smudge it out....
Read it carefully before you purchase and if you have questions, go to Sephora and ask a Tarte Rep to demonstrate how it's supposed to work!
LOVE IT!!!!!

meh
-08.18.12
the colors are pretty and do open the eyes up, but like others said the applicator design is dumb--really annoying to have to keep screwing the tip into the cap to pick up pigment. Returned it and got the other Tarte inner eye brightened, much happier with it

I got this in a kit a while back, and I'm so pleased with it that I use it every day. I'll soon be buying a second.

Sub-average makeup with clever packaging
-04.20.12
I really wanted to like this product, but though the 2-in-1 stick was a great idea (and I liked the spring action on the applicators...really, quite clever and space-saving), I didn't find the two shades to be a) all that different from each other or b) that great of quality. The high "sparkle" content irritated the corners of my eyes and rubbed off quite quickly. Unfortunately, it's going back.

Quick Take: highly pigmented, crease resistant
I thought this might be a waste of money but at $20 I figured it was worth the risk. Boy am I glad I took it. This is so genius. Much easier than putting eyeshadow in the corners. Perfect application tool and perfect colors. Gets you out the door quickly with a look that seems much harder to achieve than it actually is. New staple in my kit!

So much promise, but..
-03.25.12
It just wasn't worth the price. The packaging is annoying--you have to put the cap back on to get more shadow. And it just seemed cheaply made. The 2 shades were really nice though.

Not worth the money
-03.23.12
Quick Take: do not like packaging; makes it difficult to use
I returned this item due to the fact that there is so little product and it's difficult to use. You have to twist the foam applicator into it's top to grab product, but it never seemed to grab enough, and I had to keep twisting just to get the smallest amount on the applicator. The colors are pretty, but the packaging is a huge issue.

L-O-V-E THIS PRODUCT!!
-03.22.12
Quick Take: blends easily, crease resistant
This is a great formula and I love the effects it gives me! A little bit of either given color goes a long way and both shades look reallllly nice!! I use it in the inner and outer corners of my lower lash line to soften my eyeliner and "light up" my whole eye look!! I also use it in the inner corner of my upper eyelid to reallllly make eyes "pop!" Great product and it has a very versatile formula...Looks great for day or night wear! I'd highly recommend this to anyone who wants to compliment their normal eye makeup! Great product and a good value too since you only need a very small amount to a get good effect!

Great travel accessory!
-03.15.12
Quick Take: crease resistant, blends easily
As I travel frequently, I keep a bag with cosmetic products so that I can grab it and go. This gem let me do away with two bottles of a similar product and gave me the highlighting I wanted. I am a little worried about how long it will last because I usually have to re-load the applicator several times per use, but so far love the look and the convenience.

Quick Take: blends easily, crease resistant, shiny and bright
This brightener lights up my eyes and makes everything blend and sparkle. I love the way it kicks any eye shadows up a notch and catches light.
