Chalky....it is really chalky. It was so bad I have not purchased Cover Girl eyeshadow since I got it several years ago.

I bought this palette for the pink colour, I was looking for a bright pink and this seemed like the closest thing I was looking for. It's okay, it's not the greatest, but I still use it sometimes. I use the white colour as a highlight, it's a little shimmery, but not overly, so I don't mind. The green colour doesn't have the greatest colour payoff, so I never use it.

They aren't very pigmented shadows, but it only cost $4, I was expecting this.

I won't buy this product again, but I'll use what I have of it.

I wanted to buy this because the colors looked very vibrant and fun. Once i bought this for under $5 at Walmart and put it on my eyes, I was unimpressed. The colors came out a bit chalky. I think that the pink color is the most vibrant out of the three, but not vibrant enough. Overall, I would not buy this trio just to try it out.

i bought this combo bc i seen an advertisement for it and the colors looked amazing and bright ON THE MODEL when i brought this home i tried the colors on and i barely seen anything might as well been chalk in some sort of invisible mode. I figured it might have been because i didnt use a base but even with the base it was the worst shadow i have ever gotten. I love the color combination but it needs to be higher quality

This is an "Eye Enhancers" trio with three bright colors: a lime green, a hot pink, and a bold white. Now, I bought this palette because I wanted to try some brighter colors to see if they could still be pulled off. And I didn't want to spend a ton of money on them if they couldn't be, so I bought this for under $5. The green and pink seem to be pretty matte, while the white has a hint of shimmer. I like this about them because I think they are more subtle since they aren't full of frost. I have been wearing yellow or even light green shadow on the lid, and then putting the lime green in the crease and outer corner. I like doing the same with the bright pink, but using a light pink on the lid. These colors also work nicely together to create a sort of watermelon-summer look.
The green and pink have a good amount of pigmentation for a Cover Girl eyeshadow; I was very impressed! The white on the other hand makes a perfect, sheer highlight, but it can't be used for much else because of it's chalkiness. So give this trio a try, especially since it's getting harder to find bright colors for less than $15!

Yuck. Chalk-City!!! Terribly powdery and chalky. The pigmentation on the green isn't horrid...but it is far from ideal. Looking back, I don't know why I bought this trio....maybe I had hoped I could get a couple bright, bold colors for summer? Fail...You get what you pay for in this case. Now these just sit around and NEVER get picked up for use. I'd say these are more along the lines (regarding quality) of something you would find in a couple dollar child's play makeup kit. I'm embarassed to even have these in my kit with other great shadows...and I'm talking including OTHER cover girl eyeshadows and drugstore brands. Shame. Cover Girl, pull these from shelves and rework the formulation on them...then maybe consider relaunching them.

I was so happy to buy this trio, then when I came home and swatched the colors on my skin the colors hardly showed up! Will be returning it even though its cheap....ELF shadows are waaaay better!

So I thought I would experiment with some colour the other day and bought this. Firstly the white shade doesn't show up at all it's useless. The others are alright if you put lots on. Sadly though the green made me look like I had faded bruises on my eyes. The colours just didn't look good on me at all. I wouldn't buy it again.

Ooh lala, even though these eyeshadows are cheap, i got them for free! so there's a 1 for the price. There is a bright hot pink, a bright lime green and a white in this trio.
Packaging? Expect generic, cheap drugstore e/s packaging. With a sponge applicator. I guess i have to give it credit for having one tip spatula-like and the other more triangular though, :/ No problems with the packaging though.
The colour payoff is mixed. I didn't use a primer and they still turned out much better than i expected. The first layer is very faint, but if you put more on (not like cakey amounts), it starts to looks like they do in the ads. The pink and green are bright, fun matte colours that i quite enjoy ;o But the white shade was a joke. It didn't show up at all, even when i put a ton on. I suppose it adds a little bit of frost i guess...?
Lasted around 3 hours without creasing, which is very impressive seeing that it is covergirl... without a primer either! But the colour did fade after 2 hours.
overall, i was impressed with the colours temporarily but it fades off. i'd say it is more 3.5 material.

i love these colors. i was looking for something a little more fun since ive gotten kinda stuck in the darker more neutral colors lately and these are so cute and bright, but not sparkly or shimmery. i really wish they were more pigmented, but i use the NYX horseradish jumbo pencil under the green and that brightens it up. my eyes seem brighter when i wear these and the colors together are so cute! lovely playful little palette.

This is one of my favourite Cover Girl eyeshadows! I love the lime green and pink on my bronze skin and the white is a perfect highlighter! I wanted some bright colours, since after tanning so much the browns I usually wore just weren't cutting it!, and I definatly found some colours I love!

i saw an ad in a magazine for this product and i was really excited to try it out. i could already tell in the store that the colors werent as vibrant as they looked in the ad. when i got home i swatched the colors and my hand and they were very powdery and sheer, so in order to get a better color payoff you need to use some sort of mixing medium. after i used the mixing medium the colors look really good. so ill finish the palette this summer but i probably wont buy it again.

I hated it. I have an olive skin complexion and the white didn't show up on me at all after constant dabbing, and rubbing. I even tried to dip the brush in a little water to see if this would intensify the colors. It didn't. It only made it look nasty and globby. The lime green doesn't look too bad but again, it shows up very sheerly. The pink shows up best out of all the colors. Unfortunately, they dont' stay on (they rubbed off extremely easily and after 5 minutes you couldn't see them at all). I will definitely be returning. This was certainly a waste.

I really love these colors. The lime green is my favorite (it's very pigmented) the pink and white are a little less pigmented but are very wearable. It's perfect for a bright color POP! Not for color shy people :)

I COMPLETELY disagree with the reviewer below me; I think this eyeshadow trio is the best trio from CoverGirl! It has average pigmentation, nice pretty colors that aren't too bright, overall great color scheme. This trio contains a somewhat-bright pink, a somewhat-bright limey green color, and a whiteish color for highliting. I wore this the other day and got plenty of compliments on it! I'm so glad covergirl finally decided to manufacture bolder brighter colors than they usually do.

Allow me to save you almost 5 bucks.

Go down the kiddy summer toys aisle at your local Walmart. Buy some colored sidewalk chalk. Make sure that there is a green, pink, & white in there. It will cost you like 99 cents. Go home, open it up, rub it across your eyes. There, you have achieved the same effect for $4 less.

I would leave it at that, but seriously, this stuff sucks and what makes it even worse is it is part of a new CG collection that is all like "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE color! Pigment!" Oh yeah? LIES.
