TheBalm Shady Lady Individual Shadows/Liners (Review)

I got these in a set so I have the ones with a different packaging. Anyways, they are completely the same with the individual ones and the ones that I have are full size as well.

PRODUCT NAME: TheBalm Shady Lady Individual Shadow/Liner
PRICE: $16.00
NET WEIGHT: 3.4 grams/ 0.12 ounces
AVAILABILITY: thebalm.com, Sephora (in store & online)
CLAIMS: (according to TheBalm's website)
"These va-va voom shadows and liners are designed to illuminate your eye color, putting you in the spotlight! Whether you're feeling the innocent ingenue or the femme fatale, theres a shadyLady calling your name!"
TEXTURE/FINISH: Shimmery
PACKAGING: This is an individual version of the ShadyLady palettes. The packaging is slightly different now. It's still the same kind of card board packaging that closes magnetically. Each also has a tiny mirror. The ones that I have has the same cover as the ShadyLady Volume 1 palette cover. The ones they have available is more simple. Its all black with the same icon on top of a film frame.


OPINION: I actually really love these. The come on very smoothly and what ever color you see on the pan is what you get. It's is very pigmented and not powdery at all. Each eyeshadow has TONS of product in them. Compared to a MAC eyeshadow, theBalm has MORE THAN DOUBLE the amount of product in single eyeshadows and they are almost the same price.
The only thing I don't like about this is the shade selection. They don't have matte eyeshadows, all of them are shimmery. But I believe these are meant to be worn alone. I'm not really sure but if that's the case, then this is an excellent product for that.
The staying power of this product is also great. It applies evenly and stays for about 2-4 hours without primer. It's amazing that a shimmery powder eyeshadow can do that.

GRADES:
Pigmentation: 5/5
Texture: 4.5/5
Longevity: 5/5
Price: Reasonable
Overall: 5/5
Mischievous Marissa - shimmery peach
Sexy Stacey- shimmery gunmetal
