To Sum Up

I was unable to find any negative comments about this collection, although I couldn't find many reviews on it at all.

The comments from users I found said, the collection has a great color combination that is long lasting and easy to apply.

It is a little lavishly priced at $36 but the patrons using it think it is worth the price.

To Sum Up

The color combination went down very well with most patrons, as they said they work well together to create a pretty natural look.

However, some of the users found the colors didn't work for their skin tone (usually very light skin ). One lady even said the eye shadows made her eyes itch.

On the whole most people relished this collection and they think it is good value at $39.50 for the set.
