Overall Opinion:

First I was like “WTF?”, but then I was like… well actually I was still like “WTF”.

At first they sound too good to be true of course. Who wouldn’t want to save huge amount of time? On the other hand, I love applying makeup, combining colors, blending.. So I’m probably wrong person to review these in the first place :D
But IF I wouldn’t love applying makeup, I think I would like these a lot.  Of course they are not perfect, but with some practise and time they are better than you would expect.

I had to use more than one sweep, but it’s still easier than taking color from three different eyeshadow containers, blending and all.

Color options are nice (8 color combinations, naturals and playful to all eyecolors), and the shadows seem to quite pigmented. Only one I had troubels with was the 819 (natural for all eyes), which wasn’t shimmery and had the worst pigmentation.

If you don’t have time or will to apply your eyeshadow the traditional way, you might want to give these a chance.
