This is my favorite eyeshadow combo. The penny copper and rusty brown shadows look so good with my tan skin. The shadows are very pigmented. It can be a bit difficult to blend but it might be because I got it on clearance so I probably have an old stock item but I still love it. I'd be sad if they discontinue this duo.

I am on the fence about this duo. Very pretty in the case, but the colors seemed really "off" when applied over primer (which surprised me because that normally makes the colors truer for me). The lighter shade goes on more bronze than expected, and the darker bronze shade went on much darker and kind of muddy. I do like them, but I wouldn't repurchase. There are much prettier metallic shades out there from Too Faced.

Really pretty colors. The lighter color is like a mustard gold yellow color. The darker is like a mixture of bronze and copper. These shadows are pretty average quality, to be higher priced I thought they would be better than other's but I need a base for the color to show up good and for it to not fade. But the colors are pretty and I would repurchase

I love the gorgeous colors in this duo! They are so pigmented and silky. I had no problems blending and the staying power was impressive, well I used UDPP.I will definitely purchase again.

The lighter shade is so pretty. Very Coppery, shimmery, well pigmented. Not much staying power, but will try wearing it with the darker shade and see. UPDATE Totally irritated my eyelid. The crease on my lid was red and raw. Odd. It took a few days to heal.

L'Oreal was serious when they said intense pigmentation because this eyeshadow is the most pigmented eye shadows i have ever tried! Very long lasting. However, i find it hard to blend and tends to be a bit flaky. The colour is beautiful but don't really suit me. Would probably try another colour.

I bought this in "Charged," a copper and bronze duo. My blue-green eyes really pop! Not exactly long-wearing as it had started to crease before evening. I will definately buy this again! Only has one small sponge-tipped applicator, though. I prefer one for each color (or double- tipped).

Heck yeah, this duo is *awesome*! I'm not sure we ever got these in Canada but they are worth the while to either buy online or go into the US if you have the chance. After reading about these 'metallic' HiP duos on Scrangie's blog, I was intrigued to say the least. I have several of these duos but somehow bypassed these, until now and managed to buy a few for BOGO1/2off at Walgreens. Charged is an amazing foily golden copper/burnished copper duo. Silky smooth, a dream to work with and unlike most copper e/s (Milani Flare, MAC Coppering, Antiqued, etc...), these work with my skintone (C3, blonde, blue eyes) without making me look sick. Copper is supposed to work with blue eyes but many copper e/s are tricky to work with, especially since most people with blue eyes don't have overly warm skintones. This duo is a dream come true.

Another fantastic duo from L'Oreal HiP. These shadows are super pigmented. They're so soft and smooth, too, and blend like a dream. They stay all day with primer, as most shadows do. The lighter copper shade is so metallic and foil-y looking, even when you don't foil it. This duo looks fabulous on blue eyes. It's a perfect duo for fall eyeshadow looks, in my opinion. They couldn't make this duo any better, it's already perfect as is. Buy it!!! :)

I love this color combo It's gorgeous and I believe that it is the most pigmented Shadow duo from the L'oreal H.I.P. Line I have dark brown eyes and this gives them a smoky look and it blends well with other colors also I use the gold in my inner tear duct and blend into My lid then I use Urban Decay's Gash eyeshadow on Crease and the end of My eyelid It is GORGEOUS It looks like a sunset on My eye... I also do the usual liner and Mascara... And I also like to add Urban Decays Heavy metal glitter in backstage over the shadow in my inner tear duct and My bottom lid it is very pretty espexially when it hits the light! U should really get this combo it is highly pigmented and can be bought at BOGO Free alot of the time.

Love Love Love this! The lighter shade is a beautiful shimmery amber shade that I just adore. It makes my baby blues pop. I bought this at Walmart. Great deal, great quality, I'm a happy camper.

I first bought Charged last summer, and it has been re-released in 2010 again. I've only seen a few at CVS and Walgreens and it doesn't appear the newer metallic duos are being restocked. I like Charged and Electrified (which got tons of hype on this board). Charged is great...bronzey, pigmented, easy to apply. I would recommend it throughout the year!

The left side has a coin brassy bronze shade that is almost like liquid metal on your lids and when you swatch it. The right side of it is a red based dark bronze brown... and a shade I haven't seen very often in brands so it's unique. Both are a soft texture, but have rich color pigment that goes on smoothly. The pic doesn't look as good as it is in person.
