   Use it love it, on my third purchase. I go through the two lighter colors fastest and have leftover dark when I’m done, but it’s still a great value. The primer works well, the white highlighter is good for dark area above the tear ducts.I buy the kit for green eyes although my eyes are brownish-hazel, because the colors for green eyes are softer.

   This palette is okay. It’s one of the better items in my mini New York Color haul.The colors are pretty but not super pigmented. They work well together and can be used for a dramatic or subtle, daytime look.
   I really like the colors included in this, although they’re pretty standard for a neutral drugstore colors. There’s a matte highlight shade, a matte light brown, a shimmery deeper brown, and a plum color (which can be blended into the browns to intensify them without making it look like you have purple on) that’s also shimmery, a cream “illuminator”, and a great creamy primer.
   The only thing I hate about this palette is the iluminator. It’s filled with chunky glitter that ends up all over my face and on your eyes it almost feels a little greasy. I guess the logic behind having the iluminator is to allow you to have a matte or shimmery look if you have the iluminator under the shadows and over the primer, but the iluminator is so bad you don’t really get that option.
   It’s nice to finally have small, drugstore palette that includes a primer. I’ve tried not using the primer, and I found the primer really allows the eyeshadows to have good staying power and makes them more vibrant.
   The eyeshadows don’t have the best texture. They feel a little chalky and hard to me, but they’re still useable.
   Overall, I can tell this is a cheap (although for $5, you could buy more eyeshadow in other brands like wet n wild or elf) product that is just okay, nothing special about it.

   This is a pretty good little palette for the price! This one, #938 Union Square, is created for brown eyes. I got it even though I have green eyes because I was looking for good, cheap neutrals.

   It has four shadows, an cream e/s primer, and a cream illuminator. This palette comes with a little clear card over it that recommends where you should apply the colors

   The lightest shade is a highlighter that I frequently use for allover the lid. It is a matte, flesh-tones color. This one can be a little bit chalky if you put it over the primer. But if I blend the primer well over my lid, this doesn’t happen.

   The second color is a light, matte brown. This makes a great lid color or crease color if you are using the “highlighter” shade allover the lid.

   The third color is a slightly shimmery, darker brown. Again, a beautiful crease color if you are using either the highlighter shade or the light brown on the lid.

   The fourth color is a dark, aubergine purple. This color is great in the crease if you have used the brown colors to blend up on the lid. It is better to use as a hard-crease color and for the outer corner. It also makes a pretty eyeliner if you want to use it with an eyeliner brush or wet.

   The three darker colors blend the best, while the lightest color must be worked with a little not to look chalky.

   I recommend this palette for anyone looking for neutrals on a budget. I got this at 40% off at Riteaid, which frequently has this deal on NYC. So I only paid about $3 for this $4.99 palette. This is a good product, as far as ds products go. It is better quality than some of the Revlon eyeshadows I’ve tried.
