I have them all and I like them, I think they are worth it, because they are safe on the eyes and dont cause me to have any kind of reaction that is negative, some eye products do cause a bad reaction, and I like these because they do not bother my eyes, they work well wet or dry, and as long as you use a primer you get really good pigmentation and there are high end products that are not as good as these, that costs far more money. These are mostly on the shimmery side, but are very wearable and brighten the eyes.

It is very pigmented BUT if you have oily eyelids this isn't for you. I have oily eyelids and it creases HORRIBLY. You have to use primer with the eye shadow but it is very nice.

I love this eyeshadow palette. I have hazel green eyes and I like the colors in this a lot better than the pop green eyes palette. I have both the regular hazel and the pop hazel eye palettes. The regular hazel eyes is my favorite, the shades are gorgeous. I am not nuts about the packaging on these palettes or the applicator, but it is such a great value and a fantastic product, so I am willing to forgive the bulky packaging. I usually use them at home, because they take up a lot of space in my makeup bag.

Physicians Formula is actually a brand that I've been waning to try for the longest time but couldn't because I don't have it sold anywhere near me. However, when my aunt came to visit us, she gave me this palette and I was more than excited to try them right then and there.
Let me start of by saying that I do not have hazel eyes. I have dark brown eyes--almost black and yet, I find these colors work best for my skintone, not much my eyes. I find that the reason why they labeled it this way is so that people not that experienced with makeup could have a guide as to what to wear to make their eyes pop more. However with me, I like this because among all of the colors, this is the most neutral of the bunch, and being a nuetrals girl, this is the palette wherein I'd most use all of the colors.
Even though the palette I think is being sold at $10, I find it a huge bargain since you get a total of 9 shadows that are very complimentary, meaning the first 3 are for day time looks, the sencod 3 are more of a date time look, and the last are for night time, evening, neutral smokey look. But again, despite the pairing, I would use these eyeshadows any other way as any palette wherein I'd mix and match these shades. I find it also a perfect size to bring with me everywhere I go. Since these are most neutrals, I love putting this in my bag and it gives me the same looks as I would get in a palette such as Urban Decay's Naked 2. (ie. cooler toned neutrals). These are again very shimmery, though the pigmentation is okay, I don't find them having the same quality in pigmentation as the Wet 'n' Wild Color Icon ones, which still remain as my favorite eyeshadows thus far.
These do tend to fade after a few hours, which is why when you're going to be out the whole day, better bring this with you because you may want to touch up, or even change up your look from day to night.
All in all a great product and I'm very glad I got this. Will definitely check out more products from this line if I get to. Highly recommend you guys get this. :)

I'm on my second one of these. I have hazel eyes, so I am a sucker for stuff designated for "me". I love all the colors--although I will say on this new one (I've had it about a month) I think all the pinks are pretty much the same. Which I don't recall thinking that about my first one...but oh well. I can deal with it. The highlight shades are great, the two darkest browns can be used to create a smoky eye. My favorite "strip" is the brown strip third from the end opposite the 'Physicians Formula'. Not the gold one, but the other one. LOVE that particular color, and I wear it most days.
I think the pigmentation is excellent, the formula is good--smooth and very blendable. The brush that comes with it is actually decent for applying shadow as eyeliner. Really, my only complaint is the pinks basically all being the same. And I wish some of the brown strips were the fatter ones, lol. Oh, and the lid. Why in the world does it open long-ways?!

This was one of my first shadow purchases when I was just starting out. I thought they were the best thing ever compared to the old wet n wild etc that I had at the time. I own much pricier shadows now but still find myself reaching for this. The shadows are very soft and easy to blend. Some of the colors are very similar but it doesnt bug me cause that just means I have a larger quantity of what I like. I didnt buy this for variety anyway, just for something that was good for an everyday look.

These colors are very wearable and appropriate for day...if I want a daytime smokey look I almost always reach for this palette. I can't say that about too many other palettes I own! They are easily intensified for night as well. They aren't as easy to work with as other shadows but the staying power is fantastic...a no brainer trade off! I have green eyes and enjoy this palette more than the one designated for green eyes. The shadows themselves are rather shimmery but mixed and blended with matte shadows, they work beautifully. Very fun palette to experiment with once you get it home!

I like this e/s alot. I have the smokey palette. With my brown eyes and fair skin, the colors are great. I can do alot of different looks, dramatic and natural. The colors blend well together. I also like using the very tip of the eye shadow applicator to line my lower eyes with, and to fill in my brows! You do definitely need to use your own brush to apply the eyeshadow tho, and blend it. I dislike how easily these break, you certainly can't keep them in your purse, which I learned the hard way with another one of these I owned in the past. I also dislike how easily the colors get mixed with each other. The pros far outweigh the cons tho, so I still gave it five lippies! Great staying power as well, lasts all day, and all night if you wear it out. LOVE the gorgeous, dramatic smokey eye I can create with this. Good price too, you get alot of colors for ten bucks!

I bought this palette because I wanted a nice neutral collection of shadows that I could travel with. I always worry I'll lose or break my MAC palettes, so I like scoping out cheaper products that I don't have to baby as much in my purse. That, combined with a $7-off coupon from CVS, and I thought, 'why not?'

I know this palette is supposed to be for hazel eyes, but I have green eyes, and these colors look amazing on my eyes. I love the bronze/brown colors and the darker pinks, and the white can substitute for an awesome highlighter. All of the colors are sheer on initial application but are wonderfully buildable. They blend easily, last for quite some time, and have a beautiful, subtle sheen to them that just makes the eyes so lovely and vibrant looking.

The packaging is nothing great, just a simple plastic case with a flip-up lid. No accompanying mirror, and the brush that comes with the product is nothing to write home about. I've used it once or twice as a liner brush and it kind of works. Despite the lackluster packaging and the iffy brush, I am still very happy to give this product five lippies!

I have brown eyes with a touch of hazel and found that this hazel palette works the best for my eyes. In the packaging, some of the colors actually bleed into the others, making them slightly unusable. There is also a slight tendency for creasing, but don't get me wrong, the positive definitely outweighs any negatives of this product and will definitely buy again.

I have brown eyes and love this palate! Great colors, but definitely shimmery! Wonderful for summer, but sometimes feels like a little much for work. I love it for travel, because all your colors are in one place. They blend well and are fun to play around with.

Overall I think this is a good palette. Several colors, although they are all in the same color families. The packaging is nice, imo. I honestly think PF products are overpriced, but I'm sure I got this on sale.

9 colors in 3 combinations. Practical and versatile. You can mix them though.
Simple and compact package. 1 sponge with no mirror. You'd better use other brushes for better blending.
A little chalky. Lasts ok.
Nice shimmer. You can wear it to work.

I like these just fine – a good purchase. Perfect as an all-in-one for weekend travel or overnights. Some of the colours are definitely more shimmery than others - and I personally tend to avoid them except to highlight. But you get a great range of complimentary colours to play with. The darker colours can be used dry as a liner, which looks very nice. These colours do enhance and compliment my hazel eyes. Like it! Price I thought was a little on the expensive side, though I did get them on sale, and the packaging is a little frustrating - sometimes it's hard to instinctively know which end to open (they open on the long side) - and I've struggled in the mornings when I'm totally uncoordinated to try and get the sucker open. These will last a long time, and I probably won't buy again just because I'm sure by the time I'm done with it, new products will be available.

I have brown eyes, but love love love wearing all of these colors. Brown eyes are the most versatile color to work with other colors and the different hues of pinks and smoky brown purples made my eyes pop! The staying power of these shadows is fantastic, and if I foil (wet my brush) before application, the effect is glamorous! The container lasts forever, but will be quickly used because the colors are just SOO pretty! My only gripe is that the eye shadows tend to break easily and the colors can get dirty because theres nothing to separate from one another .. like the white can get messy by the pinks and the brown purple gets into the pink.. but it's not a big deal as long as you're careful it's not something to carry around in the bottom of your purse -- you have to put it somewhere safe..

I love the colors. I wear the two darkest colors everyday. It last all day. They were going on clearance the other day at Wal-greens so I went and bought more. I even get compliments on my eyes and they ask what color I am wearing.

I like all the colors, its a good buy because its 9 colors for 9 bucks that all work with hazel eyes. With 3 premade combos. I haven't tried it wet yet, but it looks good dry. I like the applicator that comes with. Will rebuy!

*This can be found at drugstores like Target, Walgreens, RiteAid...etc. But I'm not sure if it's been discontinued or not.

-Pros:
Pigmented
Blends well
Colors work well with each other
Great price

-Cons:
Very shimmery/frosty
Needs primer or it will crease
