My Thoughts:  I love the concept of the pressed pigments, especially the multiple colors available in a single pan.  They are a gorgeous tie-dye pattern that is very visually pleasing in the packaging.  I purchased two of them, Acoustic (with a blend of neutrals and a vibrant coral red) and Center Stage (with a blend of pink, blue, and purple with a hint of peach at the outer edge of one side).  If you want a new color with each dip of the brush, use a larger fluffier brush to swirl the colors together.  If you want a precise application of a particular color, use a smaller more dense brush to pick up colors on their own.

 

These are a little tricky to use if you're going for a specific color, but the color payout is well worth it.  My favorite is the Acoustic one, since I'm a big fan of neutrals, but the bright coral red with hints of hot pink gives my eye look an unexpected pop of color that's really fun for summer.  Center Stage is a little less easy to wear all on its own, but you can use any of it's pigment colors in conjunction with a neutral eyeshadow color to add some fun to your look.  For a more watercolor look, you can use multiples blended for a soft smokey eye. 

 

You only need a little bit of product for a lot of color.  These are definitely pressed pigments rather than a traditional eyeshadow.  I recommend layering thin layers rather than trying to pack it all on at once and ending up with a lot of wasted product to fallout.  They are very long wearing as well! 

 

Final Verdict: Great to toss in your makeup bag for a versatile eye look any time.  My favorite feature is that no two pans are alike!  They are like mini works of art in an of themselves and were so much fun to photograph!
