Products: 
The matte shades in both their palettes are very smooth a silky in texture but are not super pigmented the pigmentation is however intensified over a primer which is how must of us have to use eyeshadows anyway to make them last. I still found then to blend out nicely over bare skin with one another.

The satin and pearl shades are smoother in texture but also surprising not crazy pigmented. These however, build up nicely with little effort.
