Love this shadow! I have used the baked shadows for years. These are so easy to work with. Great pigmentation. I use an eyeshadow base (NYX skin color) with these. Colors last very long, and I applied all 3 colors. Only took 2 minutes to do a smokey eye..looks like I spent 45 minutes on my eyes!! LOVE IT.

Reeeeally like this trio. When I originally purchased it over a year ago, I bought 2, because I was that certain I would love it. I dropped the first one and broke all 3 (so be careful handling yours!)...so I am very careful handling this. The colors have that beautiful baked look in the pan...and on your eyes!

Got this at the 75% off CVS sale. So far it's ok. Nothing spectacular. The pigmentation is pretty good... but most shimmery colors are pretty vibrant. Texture is ok. They definitely don't bother my eyes. (no headaches/etc)
Is it worth the full price of almost ten bucks? No. Is it worth the few bucks I paid for it? Definitely.

I really like this palette you get all the essential colors to create a natural and intense Smokey eye. The packaging is different but still works just as well as a traditional pot eyeshadow. I got this at CVS for 9$ and to me that's a great deal for 3 shadows. When I create my Smokey eye I like it drastic so I apply two of them wet and sometimes skip the highlighter. My eyelids are slightly oily but using udpp and wetting the shadow helps it stay longer and not crease as much. The lasting power is good and easy to blend. I recommend it.

I don't often use gray eyeshadows but this I love using for a nice smokey eye for the night time look. I always find my other gray eyeshadows to be chalky or just not greatly pigmented, this on the other hand, must be one of my favorite gray and inexpensive eyeshadows. It goes on smoothly and the 3 shades all compliment each other nicely. My favorite of the 3 shadows has to be the lightest shade, I use this over MAC carbon eyeshadow for a gleaming shimmery smoked out eyes. Love this!

These are actually a lot smaller in real life than how they appear in pictures. Got this for half price. I think Baked Smokes is the best and easiest to work with in the line. The colours blend well together and are quite pigmented.

The lightest is a gorgeous shimmery silver; can be worn alone and also used for highlighting. The second is a shimmery medium grey. The darkest colour is a dark grey, but even when used wet it cannot pass off as a black. Some suggested using it as a liner when wet, but I can't make it work.

Great product. I use it wet in summer because aussie summers require a fairly robust product that is going to stay put. In winter I use it dry. The colours are highly pigmented and blend beautifully. A very high quality product for a very reasonable price.

I still hold out that the best products come from the dept. store lines. However, I picked up this trio of shadows and they are amazing. The texture is fabulous and they look so natural on your lid - hard to say for colours this intense. You can do a smokey eye for day and it looks soft and hazy. Frankly anyone I've seen in person with a smokey eye only looks good if they are under 14 years old in which case they shouldn't be doing that or they are 10 feet away in a dimly lit room. The 3 colours are a base colour of medium pewter, a highlighter of silver and a liner of deep soot. They mix well with each other for custom blending. A nice bit of shimmer but nothing garish; really elegant. And only $8. I would draw comparisons to Chanel but even they have never done anything this good.

I have to have my Physicians Formula baked shadows. I have the collection and love each shadow compact for its own unique color scheme. The colors and elegant shimmer brighten my hazel eyes beautifully. I would recommend this to any girl who likes practicality, and of course looking fabulous since each trio of shadows has highlighter, medium shade, and base color all in a cute compact.

This was my go-to eye makeup for a long, long time.
Using the shadows wet definitely makes a difference in staying power. Though I usually never applied them wet except for using the darkest black-grey as eyeliner.

The pigmentation isn't heavy, and these don't photo very well. In a lot of old pictures of mine it looks like I'm wearing very little eye makeup, although I really was wearing quite a bit.

After a few years of using Baked Smokes almost everyday something in them started irritating my eyes. Perhaps it was the shimmer, but I don't know.

Nice colors that worked well on my fair skin(CS buff) and hazel eyes.
It didn't last longer than a couple of hours though so, I will not repurchase for that reason.

I got this on sale at Rite Aid, I believe I paid under a dollar or two. The product isn't horrible but I think it's kind of lacking in the pigmentation department. Mostly the black/dark grey maybe? it's not very dark at all. The two light grey shades I do like although I feel like it takes some work to get the color to show. I even tried using some Fix+ with it, and didn't notice much difference, especially since they are wet/dry shadows. But for the price I paid it wasn't bad at all, but I definitely wouldn't of paid full price. I wouldn't repurchase just cause I have a TON of grey/black shades.

Love the colours (shades lol). Everything great has already been said.
I took one lippie off because they crease fairly fast on me (I have very oily eyelids though) and one off because the shimmer is a little too much. I usually dust with a powder to tone it down, otherwise I find it looks silly.
I would not buy it again because a) I'm no where near finishing this one b) the pricetag is off putting ($20cdn)

I love, love, love these shadows. It really does suck having such sensitive eyes because there are so many eyeshadows that irritate my eyes. Physicians Formula eyeshadows are the only shadows I have used for a long period of time that do not irritate my eyes. This collection is a fabulous quality eyeshadow, great staying power and great color payoff. I just love these shadows and so glad these are available. Also, this palette will last me forever.

This was the first product that I've purchase under this brand. As the price is pretty expensive considering it's a drugstore product but the eyeshadow quality is very impressive to me. Pigmentation is sheer but very buildable. Thought the packaging was cute at first but I find it pretty bulky to store in my drawers. Overall, I'll definetely repurchase this again.

LOVE this! it's my HG eyeshadow, the colours are very pigmented and the colours blend wonderfully. i prefer using them with sponge applicators [wet] over a brush.
the only thing dislike about it is the packaging, i broke my first one by dropping it. however, i tend to be a makeup dropper in the first place and that won't stop me from buying more of this!

I bought this on sale for approximately 10 $ CDN. I thought it would be a good palette for a smokey eye. I think the colors are not pigmented enough. They seems really sheer compared to my NYX singles, even compared to my Chai Latte quad by Maybelline. The eyeshadows do blend nicely but that's about it. Not worth the money. Might be good for a more subtle smokey eye. By the way, I also own another trio in baked sands. I don't like it more than this trio.

I like this eyeshadow but it is a little too expensive for me (approx $8).
If you use it wet, it does last a lot longer on your eyes than if you use it dry, and there's less mess.
I wish there were more colors to choose from though.
