Product: 
These three palette all suffer from lack of pigmentation, which is a shame consider how good there Individualeyes Custom Compact quad palettes are for their shadows (I use the one for brown eye as a staple!). The formulas are all sheer but there are shimmer, frost, metallic and satin to be found in the shades.

Color:
Long Beach Sands (781) has a Sheer ivory colour with shimmer, a slightly sheer medium brown with a satin finish, and a sheer shimmer taupe.
Oh Soho Sweet (783) 
has a Sheer light beige colour with shimmer, a sheer frost brown, and a sheer shimmer light pink.
Streets Paved in Gold (792) 
has a Sheer light gold yellow colour with shimmer, a slightly sheer medium warm brown with a satin finish, and a slightly sheer metallic Gold/Bronze.





















Wear: I got about 2 to 3 hours wear on their own. Definitely needs a primer!

Packaging: A light wight plastic compact with a clear lid.

381B Sweet as Candy Crease, Oh Soho Sweet (783) Crease,
381B Sweet as Candy Eyelid and Oh Soho Sweet (783) Eyelid. 
Flash swatches: Wn'W 381B Sweet as Candy Brow bone, Oh Soho Sweet (783) Highlight,
381B Sweet as Candy Crease, Oh Soho Sweet (783) Crease,
381B Sweet as Candy Eyelid and Oh Soho Sweet (783) Eyelid. 
Verdict:


The word is sheer here! There is some pigmentation but the is also a general lack of binders in these shadows as well. You really need a primer to get any depth of pigmentation and there are better fish in thee drugstore sea. ;)
