I have used the darkblue/turquoise shimmer duo and the purple/yellow-gold duo. Both are very nice, I could afford them, and they work well. The pigments are indeed bright and intense and I love using them to create my multi-color eye looks. The only thing I can say I have a problem with is that the non-shimmer or usually the darker shade of the two tends to be harder to apply in that it doesn't really like to show up unless you work a it and apply several times to the area. Either way it seems to work very well and I love the bright shades and you can even mix and match with other shades that you already own. I've actually been looking at purchasing other color variations from HIP as well. -

I got this set as a gift and the pinker shades are my favorite. They have just a hint of sting but it's covered mostly by a nice minty feeling. The scent is a little strange but it's not bad and doesn't take away from the product. The shimmer in the gloss is a bit thick which tends to enhance the little bit of peeling on my lips but otherwise I have no problem with the product. It's pretty and does just what it says. I just don't recommend plumpers to those who have lips that are thicker than wider. It can sometimes make my mouth look really small, but plump!
A good set overall. I recommend definitely if you're wanting a light plumping gloss..

I've used this in the ruby and black gold colors for enhancing green/hazel eyes. I didn't notice much of a difference before and after application, but it does add a nice touch and brightens eyes a good bit. It smells a little strange and can tend to clump rather easily which is the problem I hate the most. I don't know if it's the mascara or possibly the brush. If you can avoid the clumps though it has a nice look and I'll keep using and would possibly recommend it to others based on the decent price and the overall effectiveness of the product. If you're looking for volume or thickness over the enhancing qualities I'd say look elsewhere though.
I'm wearing the black gold mascara in this pic.
