I was really surprised by how much I disliked these kits as I really like the 3-kit shadows by CG. These had a gritty texture, even for the non-shimmer shadows. They dusted poorly and had no staying power. I made the mistake of getting one that had a glitter shadow - which I did not realize until the package was opened and the product put on the skin. It got everywhere! I would not recommend purchasing these.

These shadow kits have a great texture to them. Very smooth and velvety. They also have good staying power, but can dust a bit during application.

I love these shadows and have them in several shades. The colors in each "kit" compliment each other extremely well. They are highly pigmented and stay on the skin, while still being easy to blend. They also hold up to wear and tear very well - read: no breakage in my purse.

Overall, these are nice shadows. They are well pigmented and come in a variety of colors. They go on less velvety than I like, but are a good overall product.

These eye shadows are "just okay." They do come in a variety of colors and are well priced, but in my experience they aren't worth the money. I really don't care for the texture - they can be a bit chalky. I prefer a more velvety shadow. Also, they do not wear very well and are often sheer - read not very pigmented. Overall, these look cheap on the eye. Not very luxurious.

love this stuff. It is lightly scented - not too much scent, but just enough. It suds up really well and leaves my skin feeling moisturized but without a heavy residue. It also comes in a great travel size that is perfect to try or to take on the go. Truly an excellent product.

I got a free sample of this, so admittedly I've only used it once, but I didn't particularly care for it. I really liked the texture, but the smell was overwhelming sweet. Also, I don't really feel like it exfoliated. I left my skin moisturized, but it felt like there was this thick waxy layer on my skin. I have experienced this with other scrubs and really don't care for it. This is not a product I would buy.

These eye shadows are comparable, if not better than department store and boutique brands. They go on very easily, are incredibly pigmented, easy to blend, and wear like a gem. I have tried several different trios and my experience has been consistent. The colors on the eye are true to the colors in palette. Also, there is no odd smell and no dust off residue (which is a huge plus if you are using these as a shadow liner as well). Plus the brushes that come with the palette are actually usable. The limited edition colors WnW comes out with really give these a feeling of uniqueness and specialty.

I like the colors these come in and they wear pretty well, especially for the price. However, they brush is really short and nubby, making application ridiculously difficult (even for an experienced lacquer user!) The cap is also difficult to articulate in the hand, making application even more difficult. Not bad for a cheap thrill though.

This eyeliner works really really well. The tip is really smooth and easy to use, especially for a liquid liner. I do find that it can take a couple of swipes to get a fully opaque line, but the product does dry very very quickly and does not smudge. I've worn this out dancing and it has still stayed on through my sweating!
