I wish there was an "I don't know" in reagrds to purchasing again b/c that is how I feel about this. The eyeshadows are OK...nothing great or bad about them. I don't use it everyday, b/c I find it hard and time consuming to get the shades blended just right. I can't really tell if it makes my eyes "pop" but the shades are flattering on me when applied correctly.

These colors are really pretty, but they do tend to look muddy on me if I wear them all together. I love them individually. The compact is hard to open, but I like that they are clear so that I can see what color I am reaching for. I have to wear a base (Mac Paint or Lancome Colour Dose) under them to keep them from fading. I got this & the Trio for Hazel Eyes BOGO so for $3 I love the texture, color & shimmer that these shadows have.

I would actually re-purchase this and I have very dark brown eyes. Of course it helped using the UD Primer Potion but it lasted all day w/o touchups

All around bad. I wish I had waited and bought this at CVS, because now I am totally stuck with this useless trio since I bought it from Walmart. Anyway, these three colors, the green, violet and the light lime green, look very enticing in the compact. Then when you're trying to open it, it proves to be difficult---first sign. Then once you put the shades on, they all blend together to make this maroon muddy punched in the eye shade that is anything but flattering. I even tried this 3 different times, with different brushes and application techqniques with no change in the ugly punched look at all. Bummer, and I really thought this would be fun for some reason.

The colours in this trio are gorgeous. A medium, slight shimmery plum, a deep shimmery teal green, and a light, shimmery yellowish green. I don't have truly green eyes, but I have green in my eyes so I had very high hopes that this trio would totally pop the colour. Unfortunately,I found that when I applied the colours as per the package instructions-it looked awful. The plum is beautiful on the lid, but the deep and light green looked totally out of place on the crease and browbone. No matter how lightly I applied or how carefully I blended the deep green shade it looked like a huge bruise on my eyelid. And the light green looked totally artificial and fake on me. I wasn't ready to give up just yet though, as I love the colours. So here's what I do instead. I apply the plum as a wash on my eyelid. Then I apply the deep green shade wet as a liner. Then I go over the deep green with just a touch of the light green colour and finish with a dab of it around my tear ducts. And voila-the colours totally make my eyes pop! So overall, I recommend these colours for green and hazel eyes. The pigmentation and texture is good and so is the price. :) Just don't give up if it doesn't work for you right away.
