The kits contain 5 sets of pre-mixed shadows that you actually press on your eye, blending powder and a brush. We had the holiday set for a few months, but had never worked up the nerve to try it. Fortunately, with a little gentle persuasion, Heidi and Amy volunteered.
To get started, Annie sampled one of the truly unwearable ones on her arm so we could get a feel for how the press on shadows work.
First you peel off the plastic backing:
Then you press it on:
And Voila--blue eyeshadow and snowflakes!
Heidi went next using a green version, sans flakes on her lids:
Then it was Amy's turn with silver:
It looked much softer after Heidi blended it with lavender shadow:

Our testers' takes:
Amy said the shadow was really tacky and hard to work with to blend. We're guessing that's because it is a long-wearing formula, which really isn't supposed to move once it's in place.
Heidi says it would be good for mornings when you're in a rush--especially because you can put them in the car (only when you're parked, please!)
Our 2 cents: for $25 a pop, we'll stick with doing our own smoky eye. Unless, of course, we ever do come up with a reason to do a camo eye (our next hunting trip or Halloween come to mind).

Great post. I tested this stuff myself a few months ago and was not impressed! And as you mentioned, for the price, it's no value!
Pfft, I'm not a fan of gimmicky make-up! Fab post though :)
