Products: Most of these shadows are buttery in nature with a matte, satin, or pearl finish in these new palettes.

The Matte shades have a slight satin glow to them due to the smooth buttery texture that is not powdery while working with them. The pigmentation is also excellent.

The Satin shades have a true glow to the finish, the texture is slightly powdery but smooth to apply and blend, with true pigmentation.

The Pearl shades have an even shine to their finish. The texture is slightly powdery but smooth to apply and blend, with even pigmentation. Some of the shade had larger particles of shimmer in the mix.

Wear: They last 5-6 hours on their own. Just a touch to powdery without a primer for the pearl shades.

Packaging: This is a clear plastic compact with the eyeshadows filled into the wells. (aka no pans.)

Verdict:

These are s step above the original All About Eyeshadow palettes and the quality is just that good. My only minor complaint is that for and 8 pan palettes these all run pretty light in their range of shade. The are dark shade but most of the mid tone shades run on the lighter side where there should have been some medium-deep shades to round these out. That said for drugstore these are excellent quality for the price point.
