I have to say, I'm very impressed by these shadows. They're...rad. And here's why:

- very pigmented. a little goes a LONG way.
- very fine. these shadows go on smoothly and easily.
- easy to blend and manipulate.

The colour I chose is a lot brighter than the bottle let on. The bottle itself is more like a vial, kind of like MACs pigment vials, but just a tad shorter. I do have a thing against the packaging - a lot of pigment will get stuck in the cap, and if you're me, and you tap it out on a piece of paper to pour back into the vial...don't be clumsy. Everything will match your eyes if you are. Just saying. Seriously, ask my blanket, he'll tell you so.

These work best with a base. Since you don't have to use a lot - just a light dusting - you have to use something underneath to keep the wee bit of shadow from creasing on you. I love UDPP, but TFSI is even better [and has better packaging].

Overall, these shadows are great. And careful where you buy them. At the hair store [I mean, ethnic beauty supply store], NYX products shouldn't be over .99 - $1.99. I went to the mall, and these pigments were $2.99 and the glosses were $4.99! I nearly died - especially since my hair store doesn't have the glosses - just the fab lipsticks and lip liners [review in a bit]. I'd rather be a cheap ass and spend my .99, thank you very much.

Have any of you tried them? Tell me your stories here. :]
