WHY I LOVE THIS PRODUCT
Rich color. Smooth feel. Very pigmented. Blends easily. Silky & luminous finish. Very easy to use/apply. Low cost ($10 CAD).

These eyeshadows remind me of some Japanese brands of eyeshadow such as Kate or Majolica Majorca because of the soft texture and glowy colour. I also really like the packaging because once again it looks almost like some Japanese cosmetic packagings. Though the colours are sheer, it is buildable. I find that it is better to apply by patting on the eyeshadow rather than sweeping because the texture is so soft. Better to use your finger to blend/apply rather than a brush.

The only problem that I have with this product is that it doesn't last very long without a primer or base. I think around 4 hours the colour will begin to fade.

I will definitely buy this product again!
