I got engagement ring and love it! Its pretty with kind of a lot of sparkle. I love using it as a base, then throwing in other colors, it really blends with anything. The sparkle is abundant, but not too costume. A really bright, versatile, and fun color to play with. The only problem I had with this product is it does sometimes leave sparkles under my eyes and cheeks. I look forward to trying more colors from this line.

Bought this in My Favorite Jeans and love it! Very smooth application, nice pigment, no creasing. And while the color looks very electric in the pot it is a darker blue, more navy than it might seem, has an almost smoky quality, very wearable!

Love these eyeshadows! I have City Fog (matte grey), Bohemian Chic (forest green shimmer), Geisha Kiss (matte red) and Meet Me at Midnight (smokey dark purple). I use Meet Me at Midnight as my everyday go-to color to create a subtle smokey eye.

These are the worst eyeshadows I have ever used! They have absolutely no pigmentation, and whenI put them on there's not even a sheer wash of color, I don't notice any difference at all! Please don't waste your money.

I use the #41 "preppy look" to line my eyes, with a wetted eyeliner brush. Since I use only a small amount each day, it lasts a long time. I really love its color, intensity and staying power. I tried this and a number of other navy colors (all of which were much more expensive than this one) at a Sephora store, and this one was definitely the most pigmented. Eye pencils don't last very long on me even with SheLaq, and gel or liquid liners look too harsh on me because I'm so pale. This looks slightly dramatic but still professional, not too harsh, and stays all day when I put SheLaq over it.

I recently just bought one of these shadows in Cocoa Powder (pretty matte brown color) and I loved it! These eye shadows go on smoothly and are easy to blend, and they are very pigmented. The small compact container they come is nice as well. I would say these are similar to the MUFE eye shadows I have purchased. While MUFE has more colors to choose from, the Sephora collection has a decent variety that costs less. I really like these, good job Sephora!

Geisha Kiss is a must-buy if you're looking for a matte true red eyeshadow that can double as blush. Its color and texture are just what I was looking for. Sephora describes it as a matte brick red, but it's brighter, lighter, far less brown and more wearable than you'd expect from an eyeshadow labeled brick red. This color really brings out the flecks of green in my brown eyes!

I agree with the reviewer who stated the matte eyeshadows from this line have a silky quality - it glides on very silkily and also blends well, and stays on long like it claims to. Good pigmentation; can be applied heavily or dusted on subtly. I like applying it in a thin line above liquid eyeliner, blending it with other colors, etc. Applying it heavily as an all-over lid color does make me look "tired," so I probably wouldn't wear it out that way except for costumes.

I've tried what drugstores (Milani) and Hot Topic (LOL!) have to offer as far as red eyeshadows go, but found them too glittery and not as pigmented/rich red as I was looking for. In fact, I was going to try NYX's offerings (Cherry, a pinker-based red and Sunset, an orangier one) but Geisha Kiss has ended my search.

Also, the packaging is quality and very compact; that and the fact that it can easily double as cheek color make it a good travel item!

I just bought City Fog, a deep-to-medium matte true gray that is like a deeper version of Urban Decay's "Revolver."
If City Fog is typical, Sephora's shadows are great. Mine has absolutely no chalkiness, and *does* have that silkiness that is so desirable in a matte shadow. It's generously pigmented, applies smoothly, wears well.
The circular ( a bit over 1 inch in diameter) clear-lidded flip-top compact isn't fancy, but it isn't cheap, either.
This is an excellent buy, for $12.00 USD. continued >>

Gorgeous colors and color payoff! Unfortunately, the colors I was interested in were non-matte, and any of the non-matte ones, even the ones with a slight sheen, had tons of glitter!! Not chunky glitter like Urban Decay shadows, but still, glitter that spread like wildfire! You might not notice it at first in the Sephora lighting, but once you step out in the sun, good lord, you could be part of Cirque du Soleil! Too bad because I really liked the colors too. =(

I am extremely impressed with Sephora's new shadows. I tried the 'old' ones that are now d/c'd and did not like them at all. I bought three colors: California Blonde #10 (pale beige with fine shimmer), Peach Beige 13 (pale pink-peach beige shimmer) and Coffee Brown 18 (medium shimmery brown). I picked three gorgeous neutral colors. California Blonde and Peach Beige work as amazing highlights, Peach Beige can also be used as a wash on my NW25/30 skintone, and Coffee Brown looks amazing as a lid color or in the crease for soft definition. All are slightly shimmery but 'grown up' shimmer. Not OTT and has no fall out. I will definitely buy some more of these, especially the matte ones. Color selection is beyond amazing, packaging is beautiful and for $12 this rivals HE shadows. Definite rebuy!

Oh boy what a find, I love the color Engagement Ring, its definitely a bling silver eyeshadow with silver glitter. Awesome color payoff. I paired it with my favorite jeans (a navy blue), which made a great smokey eye and lined with a charcoal eyeliner. perfect. see pic above

Sephora's Colorful Mono Eyeshadow in Engagment Ring is lovely. I just needed a dusting of it on my lids to make my eyes sparkle and party-ready. It also has some of the best staying power I've come across lately. I also dusted some under my eyes, right above my cheeks and it looked lovely in low lighting.

NOTE: This is a review for the reformulated Sephora shadows.
I have to say that I am very impressed with this line of Sephora eyeshadows. Sephora has definitely stepped up their game ever since they have reformulated their shadows. I have many eye shadows from the most popular brands known for intense color payoff like Makeup Forever (my favorite!), MAC, Urban Decay, and Ben Nye, and these shadows from Sephora can stand amongst them. I actually wish these were around sooner because I would have gotten these instead of some of the other shadows I have now. I noticed that there are some similar shades to the Urban Decay deluxe shadows and I'm actually going to look to see if I still have my receipts so I can exchange them for the Sephora ones! Picnic in the Dark is a dupe for Urban Decay Grass and My Favorite Jeans is a more intense version of UD's Adore.
The texture of these are way better than the Urban Decay deluxe shadows. These shadows aren't too hard where you have to dig the brush in to get product and it's not too soft either where you get the product crumbling and you are left with a lot of fall out.
I ALWAYS wear any eyeshadow I have with an eyeshadow primer so I don't have concerns with the lasting power of these shadows. Not only do primers make eye makeup long lasting, but they also make any shade you use more vibrant.
The range of shades is great too. There are plenty of bright and beautiful colours available. I think that Sephora was aiming to be like Makeup Forever's line of colourful shadow when they were recreating the line and I think they did a pretty good job. I personally think Makeup Forever is still the best but the Sephora eyeshadows are admittedly pretty awesome too. I never knew a store brand could be so great!

I bought from Sephora stores two eye shadows from the colorful-long lasting- paraben free line, after i had used a sample of them that i got a month ago.
i bought the 'midnight kiss No 34' which is a great purple colour.You can put just a little bit for a morning look or at night add some more and make the colour more intense or you can use it as an eyeliner.it blends well,stays on the eyelid and it s great for green eyes.I also bought the colour 'favorite jeans No40' which is an interesting blue.I haven t used it yet as an eye shadow i prefer using it as an eyeliner.The colour is different from any other blue eye shadow i ve used till today and it makes my green eyes look great.I think i ll buy also the 'starry sky No 07'' and the 'engagement ring No 01' which they do have shimmer, simply cause i think that that new line from Sephora worth the money (i bought each shadow for 10 and smth euros in Greece and i wouldn t say that they were cheap).i don t think that you need to stock up cause there is 0,07 oz each which is enough for a lifetime.i don t like the packaging though.Way too fragile for my clumsy hands

I got the favorite song shadow. I adore the color, the glitter, well it was all over my face. It is so bad that I just can't wear this shadow at all. BOOHOO, but the color is to die for. What good is it if all you can do is look at it!!!!!!

These are newly reformulated Sephora eye shadows and they are superb! Beautiful colors, they come in matte, shimmery, and glittery. I usually HATE glitter because it never stays on the eyelid and fall all over your face. And the only way to get if off is by lifting it off with scotch tape. Besides, 99% of the times, the glitter is chunky and cheap-looking (are you listening, Urban Decay?). Well, I was delighted with the new Sephora glittery shadows. In the first place, the glitter is not at all chunky. Almost looks 3-D. And even more impressive, it actually stays on the lid! The Starry Sky 07 is a particular favorite of mine. It's black with silver glitter and it is BEAUTIFUL. Being a shimmer fan (if it's matte, I'm not interested; bring on the pear!), I tried one of the shimmery (can't remember the name) on a client. She liked it so much, she ended up buying 3 more. There's one for everyone, and if you are adventurous, you'll love the deep colors. Well done, Sephora!
