I used to rock blue eyeshadow allll the time when I was younger and just getting into makeup. Why? Idk. This was from 5 or so years ago.... my eyebrows looked a lot nicer back then :P (MAC Electric Eel, if you're wondering... sold it 'cause I got bored with it...)
Anywho...Did this look yesterday because I was bored.
The pictures of it were rather vibrant on-camera,
but this is how they looked once transferred to my computer:
DARK DARK DARK.

I did a review with swatches here.
Originally, I had stated that they eyeshadows are rather pigmented; the last 3 shades in each column usually being the most pigmented.
HOWEVER... I don't know if these shadows just get crappy over time or what... but the dark navy blue and black shades that I used in this look were SO SHEER that the minute I put some on and went to grab the next color, the shadow was already fading. No matter how much color I piled on, it would fade really quickly. Boo. However, the other shades (highlights) are still good and show up well. The brighter blue shades lasted a bit longer than the dark shades, but still faded rather fast.
I'll admit... I am too lazy to do primers... it would probably make a big diff, but still.. I remember the shadows being a lot more pigmented when I first got it (I don't use this palette very often). But for only $22, I guess it was still worth it. Now I have to start going through my Collector's Edition Palette!
