Very Pretty! Date: November 21, 2009
"I bought this eyeshadow duo In the Nudes, and I love it. The powder glides on so smooth and blends extremely well! The shimmer in it is perfect and neither looks too heavy nor too light. You also do not need to use much at a time, and the package comes with quite a bit of powder in it. The container is also nice - I like the separate flaps, they're very convenient. You won't be disappointed with this shadow!"

It's ok I guess Date: November 19, 2009
"I bought this in Plum and Earthy Blues. I tried the blues first and I'm a little unimpressed. I expected it to be amazing considering all the good reviews.
The lighter blue is VERY shimmery and sheer. When I first tried applying it, only the sparkes/shimmer showed up. I applied a little more and a little line of coler showed up, so i tried appying a little more, and the little line of blue disappeared, leaving an overload of shimmer.It's very hard to get even color. The dark blue is good, but it's a little too dark and the colors don't match too well in my opinion. Light baby blue that's almost transparent and dark midnight blue that looks very flat. I have to try this using a different brush. Bought Avon's rounded eyeshadow brush but it's too big. Maybe a smaller brush would work better.
Hopefully the Plum duo will work out better.
Sorry Avon, but I'm not impressed.

Amazing!!* Date: November 17, 2009
"I have skin that tends to break out easily, so I wanted to try something more natural for my skin. I bought the entire smooth minerals makeup set. I love it. I have this eyeshadow duo in the nudes, and it's amazing. It's stayed on alll day. And it didn't crease up like normal eyeshadows do. It's a beautiful color also. I have fair skin, but it's just enough color to tell that I have makeup on without being too much. It has a little sparkle to it also, which I enjoy. Definitely would recommend this product! :)"

Gorgeous Mineral Eyeshadow. Date: November 5, 2009
"I am so thrilled with my purchase! The Duo is in a sheek jar and the colors are very sexy. I couldn't believe the amount of mineral eyeshadow for the price! No more competitor brands for me. I'm changing over to the whole Smooth Minerals line. Avon is awesome. :-)"

I really like it! Date: August 23, 2009
"I have this in Bronze Twist and I really like it. I saw that someone complained that this clumped together and was hard to blend, well it could be your brush. I use the Avon rounded eyeshadow brush and Avon all over shadow brush and don't have a lot of problems. Also, I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say it clumps...I haven't had any problems, it's a mineral shadow, so once you dip it in the powder, you do need to tap off the excess or you WILL have a mess. It is very important to tap off the excess powder or you will get the shadow under your eyes and on your face. You can blend this product, but if you place it somewhere you don't want it, there is going to be some color left behind. I think this product is great, it's really smooth and the colors are rich and I think it has a lot of staying powder. I am considering getting the plumtastic duo because I LOVE purple shadows! If you're looking for something soft, smooth and doesn't crease and will stay with you for hours, this is it! I love the lightness of this product and how a little goes a long way."

Great for the Price! Date: August 17, 2009
"This is great for the price that you pay. It does not have the staying power that the more expensive minerals have, but like I said it's great for the price and the colors are pretty."

"I purchased the eyeshadow duos in the mineral makeup and I must say I'm impressed! I've also tried the more expensive brands of mineral shadows and Avon's formula is top notch. The colors are light and very natural , great for everyday wear and stays on all day. Great product! Well Done Avon."

Seriously, how do you get it out of the container Date: June 24, 2009
"I have read through all of the reviews and agree with everyone that the color is great. Like a few of the other reviews, I am having a very difficult time getting the color out of the reservoir. I find the lighter shade to be more difficult.

Any suggestions?

Lovely Hues, Stupid Container Date: June 12, 2009
"I bought this in Plumtastic and Bronze Twist. The colors are truly exceptional. They compliment my brown eyes very well.

The packaging, however, doesn't strike me as the most practical. It's very hard to get out just one color and then once you do, the little clear plastic top things don't stay closed very well.

"I got this product expecting it would be better than the single I got, but it wasn't. I got the single a while back, and I thought it would be better now. It sticks to the brush when you try to put it on. If you try to spread it around it just stays or groups in the same spot. When you use it you may want to use a thin brush, maybe an eyeliner brush, because a fuzzy brush just makes it clump together. The package is a lot better becase you can spread it around but it is still pretty hard. Try again Avon!"

GREAT Eyeshadow!!! Date: June 5, 2009
"I love this eyeshadow so much and wish they offered it in more colors. Will be ordering every color it comes in. Color looks great on me and lasts all night. Also more of a "shine" shadow than a "matte". Great product!"
