I thought that the colors for the shadow palettes were gorgeous and I really wanted to like them more than I did. First off, as gorgeous as some of the colors may look, the color pay off is nearly non-existent. Maybe it was due to the colors in my particular palette, but none of the shadows were pigmented. I had to apply a very sticky base and really try to pack on the color in order to get a color that even slightly resembled the color of the shadow. One star off for that. The shadow also falls off of my shadow brush easily, which is problematic because it ends up irritating my eyes. I know it's not my brush since this isn't a problem with all other shadows I use. One star off for this as well. Perhaps depotting the shadow and pressing it again may remedy this problem, but I don't care enough to try. Overall, this product is pretty average, even for a drugstore brand.
