I love this eyeshadow! It has great staying power, doesn't crease, and there's really nice colors. I first used her eyeshadows in the holiday palette and loved them and I just went to Target and yes, they're in new packaging now but guess what?!? The ones in old packaging were $1.24! So, I bought the 2 that were left that weren't all scratched up. I wish there were more!

i love the cute silver compact, sad to see that the packaging is being changed. anyway, i have aubergine (a lovely shimmery eggplant.) AMAZING staying power, wonderful not too dark but not too light color. i will definately buy this again, even if the package has changed.

Wow. I can't believe I've never bought one of these before. I made up it for it though - SK revamped the packaging on her line so I bought 5 in the old packaging for $1.24 each. Price aside these are worth a lot more than their normal $5 retail price tag - first of all the staying power is phenomenal and I have no luck with any shadows. Nars, Chantecaille, LM, BB - I own them all and none compare to the way these last. I love that you can use them wet or dry as well and there is a ton of product in that cute little compact. My only gripe - color selection could be a little larger and since I got the old packaging you have to turn the compact over to see the name of the color - that problem though is solved as you can see the color through the lid on the new mod looking white packaging. A total deal IMO.
I have Bronze (can you guess what color that is?), Sunlight (a shimmery peachy shade), Sunrise (a shimmery champagne), Whisper (a matte vanilla shade), and Larkspur (a deep matte plum tinged with grey). I love them all and I may have to go back and raid the bin for more at $1.24 each.

great quality and staying power. easy to blend and goes on very smooth. but i only gave it a 4 because there's not much colors to chose from. nice price though...it makes me guilty for buying all my high end shadows since this is just as good. i have gunmetal and starlight...and i love them! oh what the hay...i'll give it a 5!!! =)

Sonia Kashuk eyeshadows seem pretty nice, I have a lavender color, and it has nice staying power but seems somewhat muted to me. It's good for the price, though.

Hmmm... i like this product and i dunno how expensive it is because a friend bought it for me. I like some of the colours, but some of them were over-the-top extreme. Like the dark dark purple... ew! But some of the colours are nice. It stays on for a while, but i need an eyeshadow that will stay on for six hours! (school)

I have Sadye Pink (light-med pink) and Opal (opalescent white that is very light pink in the pan) from two sweet swappers. The e/s go on smoothly and feels like silk but they aren't very pigmented (doesn't show up on my NC20-5 skin) and powdery, ok as a wash or highlighter I guess. There is shimmer in both the colours I have that is pretty but subtle. The sleek silver packaging is cute and it comes with a cheap little sponge applicator which I don't use. It's too bad they're not in a conventional e/s pan form like another reviewer mentioned b/c if you have a lot of these they can be a space hog in your makeup case.

I first tried this line because I was searching for a cream-colored eye shadow that wasn't shimmery--it is surprisingly difficult to find one!

I own two, "Whisper", a light matte cream color, and "Mink" (I think), a shimmery medium-dark brown. Both blend on well and there is minimum creasing at the end of the day. I consider them a very good buy at <$5 each. While the packaging is sleek I tired of having to turn the compacts over to read which shade I had; I solved this problem by tearing the colored labels off of the boxes and taping them to the front of each compact.

There are a lot of nice eye shadow shades in this line, and I'll be buying more.

Now, where else can you get a huge palette of great e/s shades for five bucks? These have plenty of pigment and are fun for experimenting without breaking the bank. I'm very bargain-driven, but I also expect high quality products, and I think Sonia Kashuk eyeshadows offer a good combination of both value and quality (like so many things at Target, one of my favorite shopping spots). I don't think they have quite the staying power and pigment that the Stila shadows I have do -- but then again, they aren't $16 a pop, either!

This is a great drugstore eyeshadow. It wears really well, and it doesn't flake like most drugstore eyeshadows. Lasts all day, and a nice assortment of colors.

This applies to sheer and it's a little too powdery. My sink looks like a mess when I use these.

Okay, I'm in the minority here. But I have been nothing but disappointed with SK and this was no exception. I bought what I thought would be a great, neutral matte taupe. Instead, on my PPP skin, it didn't show up AT ALL. No smoothing, no pretty canvas for other colors, no nothing. Except in a few hours when it creased and looked really nasty.



I thought it might have been just that day so I tried it a few more times - same thing every time. The Revlon W/D shadows are SO much better and once again SK didn't live up to the raves for me.

This is one on the best eyeshadows I have ever bought. I picked it up at Target where I had caught it on sale. The color I bought is Whisper. It is one of the only shadow I have found that is completely matte with absolutely no shine or glitter like most eyeshadows have. I usually buy about 2-3 at a time for around $5 each since my local Target store is so far away and this seems to be the only place to purchase this item.

I purchased the cashmere and mocha eyeshadows and was pleasantly surprised on how silky and smooth the application was! I normally don't buy drugstore shadows, but I heard so much good things about this line that I just had to give it a try! I'm glad I did. Can't wait to try more...

I picked up the e/s in Plum because it was on sale for a measly $1.24 from it's orig. price of $5 (which is still cheap!). The packaging is so pretty! Sleek with a chrome lid so when you pop it open, you can use it as a mirror. The applicator is cheap and cheesy but does it's job right. The color itself is highly pigmented and long lasting. Gorgeous deep purple color. Goes on darker than it looks. I paired it up with Mary Kay's Violet eyeliner: GORGEOUS!!! Esp. when I wear my blue contact lenses.

OMG! I can't believe how great these eye shadows are! I usually stick to high-end shadows, but after reading all the reviews I decided to buy a couple since they were 2 for 1. The quality is awesome: highly pigmented, and great staying power. Not to mention the price, it's practically a steal! I wish there was a bigger selection of colors.

This is really nice subtle eyeshadow. I put on my Almay Amazing Lasting Concealer on my eyelids first, then this eyeshadow, and it lasts all day long looking like I just applied it. It is not super-pigmented, so it gives a subtle look, but I like that. This is my favorite eyeshadow brand, plus I love the cute silver cases!

I just picked up 2 SK e/s's- Aubergine (maroon color- goes on a red-burgundy brown on me) & Cashmere(great natural nude color-almost just like my eyelid color, just w/ a bit of "oomph!"). I find the little shiny silver compact they come in very cute (pretty futuristic looking too)- the compact is so shiny, that you can use the lid just like a mirror. :) The e/s applicator that comes w/ them is kinda crappy-but hey, it's the thought that counts. ;) The e/s powder itself looks very soft & high quality. I felt, however, that I had to put a lot on- didn't seem to be very pigmented, but on the definite plus side- had great durability!! Lasted all day w/ minimal creasing! :) Big plus! (so I can overlook having to layer it some for more color). For 4 bucks, you really can't go wrong- try out this e/s!

I have to say that Sonia Kashuk eyeshadows are the highest quality I have seen for a drugstore eyeshadow. The application is very smooth and almost like powdered sugar. They have great pigment and they are soft..They come in a sexy mirror-like compact and are very portable. I haven't met a drugstore eyeshadow yet that beats this quality..My only gripe is that I want more colors!
