Formula Overview
$10.50/0.25 oz. - $42.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "12 hour wear" with "liquid eye color in one shot" that gives "shimmer" without "glitter" in a "comfortable, second skin" texture. If you love sheerer, more buildable washes of shimmery color in a liquid-cream formula that apply best with fingertips, I actually felt like it was a lovely formula exactly for that.
They were not typically opaque in the slightest; most shades were sheer to semi-sheer, somewhere more buildable than others. They had a lightweight, thin, and almost watery feel initially, which seemed a touch thicker and less watery as it dried down, but it was easy to blend out with a fingertip on the lid for an all-over wash of color that was even to the eye (perhaps not 100% even in a macro close-up!).
As they had a longer dry down to time, which was why they absolutely were better applied with a fingertip, as the fingertip would absorb some moisture and help the product drydown faster.
They wore between six and eight hours on me before creasing faintly, though it wasn't too noticeable on the eighth hour in most instances.

Oh – these are eyeshadows! I thought they were lip glosses/liquid lipsticks and was looking to see if they were dry/matte/dehydrating.
The one shade that I really love and would buy, Wow Cacao, I’ve got at minimum 3 dupes for! And so, I’ll sadly pass.
Wow Cacao is the best of the bunch here – gorgeous coppery shade too.
