I think this is a good product but not a great one. The color combinations are a great help to achieve the look you're going for in a fast an easy way; however, the staying power is just not there. I use this eyeshadow when I want to put myself together quickly for work with minimal effort but by mid-day your look is gone. The price is good but I've used other eyeshadows at similar price point that has worked a lot better. I'd pass on this one. Couldn't see myself buying it again.

I totally agree with the other girls about the staying power of this product. It doesn’t last the whole day (although if you just wear it just for night, it did last through a whole night out.) I also agree with Becky about the sparkly factor. The lid colour which is a kind of grayish silvery colour is too sparkly for my liking. I do enjoy this product though, because for eye shadow dummies such as me, it makes it easy by labeling each colour with where it should be used on your eye, and also by putting a step by step guide on the label at the back. I think overall this is a good product for experimenting, but I don’t think I would buy it again because of its staying power and sparkly-ness.

I received this product in my goodie bag during Shopoholic movie night. Although I am a huge fan of many Maybelline products, including several that were introduced to me via the goodie bag, I'm so sorry to say that this isn't one of them.

Just to make sure that I'm not being too harsh, I actually used this palette on my eye right now... and I'm really sorry to say that this doesn't live up to Maybelline's usual high standards.

This eyeshadow at best gives extremely glittery tints of colour. Its so glittery and light reflecting, that all you see is silver / white glitter on your lids. Even the brown (crease) looks silverish.

I do love the idea of having a trio smokey eye palette with each section labeled (the silver actually says "Lid", brown says "Crease" and beige says "Brow bone"). Hopefully Maybelline will continue this idea but use less glitter and more pigments in their eyeshadows.

However, I can't say that I'll not use this palette at all. I'll put any one of the colour all over the lid for a hint of colour and a glam sparkly look. Or i'll blend some into my eyes to give a glamorous glitter when using my other eyeshadows.
