Review:

I really like these duos! They are soft,  pigmented, blendable and have nice colors for everyday looks. My Bedford is my favorite of the three palettes. The colors coordinate so well together. Although I couldn't test the "Youthful Synergy™ Complex and Balkan Botanical® Infusion." Because I am a teenager and don't have wrinkles or areas that need to be tightened up. But as far as color, texture and performance they are very nice!

Would I repurchase? I might repurchase My Bedford :D

Cavalli

These shadows don't have individual names but overall I was really unimpressed with this palette. The first shadow dosn't eve show up, zero pigmentation. Same with the third shadow. The others are good but not my personal favoirte

 Milky Way

One of the better palettes. All the shadows coordinate with each other nicley and I really like the matte black with sparkles. The biggest disapointment is the purple shadow. No pigmentatio, rough and un-blendable. Can't work with it at all.

Cafe Americano 

Another good palette. I really like the green and the black. This palette is mostly matte shades. Although the first shade looks to have no pigmentation, it does as you can see on my eye below.

The first shade on my lid & as a highlight

The second & fourth in the crease

The last in the outer v

and the green on the lower lashline

Would I buy again? No. These palettes have very blah colors, and the are inconsistant is quality & texture. Wet n Wild produces better shadows than these for waaaaaaay less!

Next & last review will be of their lipglosses and face products :D
