great value

I bought one of these for about $5 in berry bloom and tried some with some primer and they surprisingly stayed all day! These are easy to blend, come in a large variety of color combinations, the packaging keeps the colors protected. For the price these are great for a beginner or someone looking for a change. I don't give it a ten because I wish they were a little more pigmented.

NYC is better then this crap...

So I have no idea why other people have been giving this like 8+ stars. maybe they are using a better primer then i use or something? I HATE this stuff. it was on sale for 5 bucks so i thought id get it. the colors were very pretty and i love sale items. so i bought it and when i put it on, i swear the colors started fading instantly. it lasts no wear near 12 hours. id recommend spending a few ext...read morera bucks for something that actually lasts. or even go for NYC eyeshadow, its alot better then this crap.

Nice, but nothing special

Everything about this speaks "meh". The colors are average, with average wear and blendability. They come with two (different sized) sponge tip applicators, which I found completely useless and threw away. You get quite a bit of eyeshadow for the price though, which is good. I'm not saying it's a bad product, because it's not, but it just didn't wow me in any way.

Huge value

I usually buy department store cosmetics, but decided to give these shadows a try after a recommendation. Silky, subtle color that lasts, a bevy of quad combinations, all for under $6.00; what's not to love? Buy a stack and enjoy. I left off one star because the pans are narrow rectangles and accommodate only a small size brush: not a big problem though.

Good buy

Although it is a drug store brand, the colors show up well, and does last a couple of hours without creasing. I use coffee bean and it does tend to fade a little over a long period of time, but overall, it is relatively faithful to its name. It'll last the day with very little color fading. Overall a good buy.

Great for the money, but not the best.

This eyeshadow is a great buy for the price. Goes on smooth, looks gorgeous, and lasts. However, it DOES CREASE after several hours, though creasing is minimal. I've never tried it with a primer. Perhaps a good primer would make it perfect.

Nice but not unique

I like the shadows, they stay on quite well, though I use Two Faced Shadow Insurance underneath always, they colors are very pretty, and the palettes do have a nice array of colors, as well as having some more unique combinations, I particularly like the smokey one that has both a reddish purple, and a dark blue color in it. I will say that most of the colors themselves are not very unique, I have...read more found colors very similar existing in my collection already (for example that blue color reminds me of mac's contrast, as well as another mac color that was LE - I think cloudburst or maybe thunder?). They are like I stated put together well though, so if you're traveling these are nice package deals to have with you. Nice that they are often times on buy one get one. Overall the texture is nice, the blend well, I consider most of them to be somewhat satin in finish. A good drugstore staple to have.

Awesome colors

This eyeshadow comes in great colors and the combinations that Revlon put together are great. The colors are very matte so if you're looking for shimmery color this is not the way to go. As far as the quality, it's not terrific, but for the price it's fine.

great colors!!

I love how they've taken the work out of pairing eye shadows and knowing where to place them. Most brands do this, but it seems like with Revlon I always like all the colors and will actually use them. They really all do look nice together and seem to be pretty good quality. I usually do all my make-up shopping at the drugstore so its nice to find a good price on great looking eye shadows.

Better than average...

I have this palette in nude elements. I have used it for a while now. In fact, I have used up all of the champagne color, and I am almost done using the greyish taupe color, which I love for my brown eyes and asian complexion. I use the navy color to set my black pencil eyeliner because i think that jet black eyeliner is too extreme for my pale skin. I like that it isn't too shimmery. The col...read moreor payoff is okay. It lasts all day with a primer. The price is great. I wouldn't really buy again because I am looking to purchase Maybelline's silvery taupe eyeshadow or Mac's satin taupe next. For beginners, I think that this would be a great palette to experiment wiht colors. If it wasn't for that taupy color in this palette, I wouldn't really know that taupe is a great color for me. Also, if it wasn't for this palette, I would have never known that lining my eyes with navy comes out a lot better than lining my eyes with jet black. I say go for it.
