    Love'em! they can be compared to MAC eye shadows for half the price. Very pigmented, don't crease, love the different variety they have of colors. Already have 5 of them which equal to 10 eye shadows cause they come in duos.

    Ohhh my god how I love these eye duos.

    They have a very large selection of colors and they are great for intensity. I have a few girlfriends who are very dark complected and most of the colors show up and look great, which is hard for them.

    I use this mostly every time I put shadow on. It stays on great, specially if you get an eye shadow base under the shadow itself... the pigment is high so you dont have to use too much unless you want to go for the bold look then you use the average amount you normally do. The price is a bit high but I really don't have a problem with paying for these, they're definitely not a waste of money.

    This is by far my favorite eye shadow, out of everything Ive ever tried. They come in cute little packages, on the bottom is a compartment with a little mirror and brush too! Its great!

    I have found that these High Intensity Pigments stand up to their name! If you are going for a dramatic look or even to make a bold statement and you can afford some of the more expensive pigments to experiment with then this is the way to go. I used the brightest color for my lid, then I wet an eyeliner brush and use the dark color to line under my bottom lashes and right above my upper lashes extending it out just a little for a subtle cat eye look. This brand comes in a wide array of colors and you can let your imagination run wild with these. They also photograph really well.

    This eyeshadow is absolutely amazing! I had to do a photoshoot and needed a highly pigmented blue eyeshadow. You actually get two amazing colors that blend well together. I purchased the "Showy" with a name like that you know I had to get it. It was one of my best eyeshadow drugstore purchases to date and it was a bogo sale!

    A good product but tricky . High intensity pigment indeed, which makes it difficult to work with I find, and not easy for a subtle day to day 5 minute routine. It takes a lot of work, as you have to blend it well otherwise you might end u with a very harsh looking make-up.
    Overall, I am not sorry I got it... I just need to adjust to it.

    Upon playing with it more I have realized that the major problem with these shadows is the fall out. Holly cow! I am not even going to compare them do Mac or UD, but even compared to regular drugstore shadows the amount of fallout is insane! I am afraid to wear them. They can look spectacular but halfway thru' the day I am wearing half the shadow on my cheekbones. I have tried different primers, setting them with Metamorfix, spraying them with Fix ... nothing worked. Huge dissapointment.

    I really like all the color combinations of these eyeshadows! There a tons of fun varieties and they go on easily, Mine have lasted all day so far but I haven't went out for a night on the town or anything with them on yet. I paid like $9 for one which isn't too bad if they last awhile. Definalty good quality! I haven't had any problems with it clumping up in my eye creases either. They blend easily, last long and look awesome! No complaints from me!

    I have two of these eyeshadow duo's: "Flare" and "Flamboyant" (I believe). Flare is gorgeous. It consists of a shimmery champage beige colour and a beautiful shimmery muted orange colour. This combo, with the champagne colour on my inner lid area and orange towards the outside, looks divine on my brown eyes. The quality is excellent for a drugstore brand since as the name suggests, these eyeshadows are really pigmented. However, they're not as long-lasting as I would like them to be but this can be adjusted with a good eye primer. Flare is a good dupe for a Nars eyeshadow duo named "Mediterannee" (not sure about the spelling). As for the Flamboyant duo, there is a bright shimmery yellow and a matte purple. I love this combo as well and this one also looks stunning on the eyes. The purple is a bit chalky, probably because it's a matte shade, and more time and more effort are required to use this shade. Overall, HIP eyeshadow duo's are a great investmest!

    I agree with the other reviewers and think these eye shadows are definitely higher quality than many drug store brands. The colours are very pigmented and last very long. I think the darker shade in the duo does have a bit of a "chalky-er" feel to it and you have to really work the brush into it to get more colour.

    Colours are pretty; definitely ones you would find at MAC. Although you get 2 colours, I don't always like the colour combinations offered. And I do find the packaging to be a little bulky; even though it comes with a tiny mirror.

    Good quality for the money; and I will definitely check back drug stores from time to time to see if they come up with any new colours!
