Three of these colors are available as part of the regular line…but I had only purchased one of them, Sundance. The others, I hadn’t purchased individually. So I was in for a stroke of luck when not only was this collection available, and the price had been reduced…but I got it at a 30% discount, for $12.60. Since these shadow/primers are individually $16 retail, this was a pretty good deal!

I use these as all-over eyeshadows, as highlighters on my eyes and cheeks, but I haven’t used any as an “all-over face” color. I like the opacity levels, the color payoff - very slight hint of tint, not a heavy color. I like the slight shimmer effect that doesn’t edge over into “glitter” territory. And I like that Meow lets people choose which size they prefer to buy: 10 gram jar, or 20 gram.
