Nothing special.

I have one of these, and the packaging is cute, but I don't love the slide up "lid." Ithink that mostly I don't like the spearmint green color (it was a gift), but it's still kind of an underwhelming product. The pigmentation and length of wear are just alright. For the price, I think there are better shadows out there. It's not terrible, I guess if you can find a shade you like.

So not worth it

I am really disappointed in these shadows. I have three, and while I love the colors they are almost impossible to use. The powder is so compressed into the container that it is really hard to pick up any color with a brush or even a sponge tip applicator. When applied, the color goes on really light but isn't easily buildable. Even with primer the shadow(s) are gone within a couple of hours. I think I will just stick to the HC nail polish.

I've used better.

The packaging is really cute, yeah, but I would say that is my favorite thing about these shadows. I'm not real into to any of the colors. They don't have a huge variety of them and many of them seem rather juvenile; mostly pastels. They are also not shimmery enough for my taste and they seem to fade rather fast.

Good but not super great

I have a set of these shadows and while they are nice and soft, they could be more pigmented. The colors are nice and they don't smell bad. I think they are a bit pricey for what they are, but if you get them onsale they are pretty good.

LOVE THIS

I can't say enough about this eye shadow. The packaging is adorable. Butter Popcorn is the eye shadow I have been looking for for years!! Its a soft matt badge color with little gold sparkle. Its not too young looking but the sparkle brightens up your whole eye area. I Love LOVE it!

Eye Candy Indeed!

Trust me, Rockhopper's review isn't true. Hard Candy, though is a bit cheaper than most, has great quality. I am completely impressed with their eyeshadows. They glide on nicely, and will stay on. They don't smudge, either. So, for a day at work, to being a glamorous mom, to clubbing...Or even grocery shopping...These eye shadows are DEFINITELY for you. I bought the Licorice, which has shimmer in it, which I usually don't like, but I love it!

Hard Candy Eye Candy

candy candy, i love candy. I got the Lollipop and absolutely love it! No smear, no wear away AND it looks so adorable in my makeup bag. To me, the compact is very important too!

Black Licorice

I only have black licorice- which is a sparkly black color, and I absolutely LOVE it! It is hands down the best black eyeshadow I own! It not only blends easily, but it is so highly pigmented that I have to dab my shadow on. The only thing I don't like is that the packaging gets stuck, and I have to pry it open.

by rockhopper

I'd say the best reason to buy this is for the cute packaging that looks good on your vanity. The shadow is just ok--akin to a drugstore quality.

Eye Candy Indeed

I love these adorable eyeshadows! You definitely get a lot for your money in terms of function AND beauty. I strongly recommend these for any makeup lover! I own Lollipop (a nice peachy, rosy color) and Jellybean (a shimmery mauve), the one in the green and blue case in the picture. They are both very flattering and wear nicely for a long time with no creases. The shimmer is subtle and the shadow has a nice consistency with good pigment. Altogether, wonderful product!
