The set contains 4 deluxe sized shadow sticks, 0.03 oz/ 0.85 g each, while the full-sized sticks have 0.05 oz/ 1.42 g of product and cost 35 dollars each. This gives the value of 85 dollars for the set, which is really great! Colors included in the set are:

Tuxedo (true black), matte;
Aubergine (deep, dark purple) matte, limited edition;
Rose gold (rose/pink gold), shimmer;
Amethyst (mauve), shimmer.

Both deluxe and full-sized sticks are retractable.

I used them all without primer. They blend well, with any eye shadow brush, or simply with fingers, but you have to be fast. Once the shadows set, they won’t budge! I even tried rubbing the swatch on my hand after a while, the colors didn’t smudge or transfer onto my finger. They are extremely easy to apply, right from the stick, or with a brush. I just apply directly, and blend with a brush. The sticks glide nicely, and don’t tug.

Tuxedo is very soft. I used it on my waterline and it applied well, but as you can see from the close-up photo above, a lot of it got used up in just one application. However, although it is very soft, it only slightly melted down during the day (less than my usual kohl eyeliner).

The shadows lasted all day on my eyes, didn’t crease (without primer) and inner corner didn’t melt down, although I get watery eyes.

I think these colors really make hazel and green eyes pop!

Although the shadows stay put, I easily removed them with my favorite eye makeup remover (Lancome bi-facil eye make-up remover) with only one swipe and no rubbing. Just make sure your remover is oil based, because water doesn’t remove these shadows (tested).

The only bad side of these shadows – I want to have all of them now!
