Formula Overview
$15.00/0.095 oz. - $157.89 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "highly pigmented" with a "finely-milled" and "velvety" feel that the brand recommends applying with fingertips. The texture ranged from more densely-packed into the pan to more emollient, almost flaky while still having slip to it.
They were intensely pigmented and very high-shine. The eyeshadows were best applied using a fingertip to press and smooth it on, though I found a dampened brush was pretty easy to use as well (for those wanting more precision). The edges were blendable, but it was easier to use a separate matte eyeshadow to really diffuse and blow out the edge. They lasted between eight and nine hours before creasing visibly on me.

Formula Overview
$7.50/0.095 oz. - $78.95 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "highly pigmented" with a "built in primer." The texture was creamier, smooth, and more emollient without being too thick or too firmly pressed into the pan, so while it was denser and not at all powdery, I had no trouble picking up product with a dry brush. Using a wet brush or fingertip to apply helped to minimize slight to light fallout that was more typical with dry brush application.
The pigmentation was semi-opaque to opaque with good adhesion to bare skin, and the powders blended out well along the edges. Some of the more sparkly shades had light fallout when blended or the sparkles dispersed a bit more readily, so precision placement was harder. They wore between eight and nine hours on me before fading or lightly creasing.
The one thing to note, though, is that they had a heavy, sweet, fruity scent that I could detect periodically through the day. The empty palette I placed all of the eyeshadows in practically bursts with scent when I open.
