Twinkle Twinkle (362)
Sephora Twinkle Twinkle (362) Colorful Eyeshadow ($8.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a light-medium peach with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had opaque pigmentation with a smooth, almost cream-like texture that was dense but not stiff or heavy, though with the amount of glitter in it, I found it worked better with synthetic brushes. The eyeshadow was easy to apply in a patting and pressing motion but over-blending did result in some fallout. It wore well for eight hours with slight fallout over time.

Formula Overview
$9.00/0.042 oz. - $214.29 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "highly pigmented" and wear for "10 hours" while being blendable and layerable. There are three finishes, and I found that the quality did differ depending on the finish more than anything else. The glitter finish was comprised of a mix of more matte and glitter-packed shades, where glitter would fallout during application and often were under-pigmented, along with denser, more silicone-heavy glittery shades with the latter applying and holding up better on the lid as it adhered better, though they typically didn't have great pigmentation. The matte eyeshadows were medium to opaque in coverage but often buildable with fairly soft, thinner textures with some powderiness, though there were some definite winners in the bunch. The shimmer eyeshadows were more often quite pigmented with moderately dense, smooth textures that were easy to use, but there were a few that had a little too much slip or were too dry and so application wasn't impressive without a dampened brush or an eyeshadow primer underneath it. The wear was between six and eight hours.
Each eyeshadow can be lifted out of the compact by opening using the second opening along the bottom of the compact. The lip of the first opening is what keeps the eyeshadow in place within the compact itself. I thought it was clever and made for easy removal, though the overall component felt a little lightweight to the point that it did feel flimsy. These are a revamp of the previous Colorful Eyeshadow range, which ran for $10.00 but contained 0.07 oz. or $142.86/oz. while the new ones are $190.48/oz. I think these would be more viable if the price point was $6.00, which would have made them the same price per ounce as the previous formula. The $8.00 price point makes them more expensive than MAC and on par with Anastasia (both of which have more eyeshadow per pan, too), but the Sephora house brand has always seemed to priced below mid-end, so the price point on this doesn't quite make sense.

Girl Night Out (216)
Sephora Girl Night Out (216) Colorful Eyeshadow ($8.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a bright, deep gold with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. It was intensely pigmented and had a really smooth, cream-like texture that was dense without being stiff to work with, so I had no trouble getting full coverage onto the lid nor with blending out the edges. The eyeshadow lasted nicely for eight hours, and I didn’t notice any fallout from it over time.

Sephora Sweet Lollipop (356) Colorful Eyeshadow ($8.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium coral with warm undertones and a pink-to-copper shifting sparkle. It had sheer coverage that was somewhat improved by using a dampened brush, where I was able to get more medium and buildable coverage, but the texture was drier and almost stiff to work with. The eyeshadow seemed to stay on for six and a half hours but it was sheer enough that it was harder to gauge the wear time.

Sephora Sand Dunes (327) Colorful Eyeshadow ($8.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a muted, medium orange-brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff that was easily built up to full coverage with less than a layer more. The consistency was soft, slightly powdery in the pan, and was drier overall, but it didn’t seem to have an impact on the application as the eyeshadow applied well to bare skin and blended out nicely. It lasted for seven and a half hours on me.

Sephora Morning Sunrise (324) Colorful Eyeshadow ($8.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium-dark, coppered red with a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was buildable to mostly opaque coverage. The color itself had a faded appearance in the pan, so the swatch was consistent, and this made the results less dupable compared to other more intense versions of this type of color. The texture was soft, silky, and slightly powdery in the pan, but it applied and adhered well to bare skin and blended out without problems. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

The formula is supposed to be "highly pigmented" and wear for "10 hours" while being blendable and layerable. There are three finishes, and I found that the quality did differ depending on the finish more than anything else. The glitter finish was comprised of a mix of more matte and glitter-packed shades, where glitter would fallout during application and often were under-pigmented, along with denser, more silicone-heavy glittery shades with the latter applying and holding up better on the lid as it adhered better, though they typically didn't have great pigmentation. The matte eyeshadows were medium to opaque in coverage but often buildable with fairly soft, thinner textures with some powderiness, though there were some definite winners in the bunch. The shimmer eyeshadows were more often quite pigmented with moderately dense, smooth textures that were easy to use, but there were a few that had a little too much slip or were too dry and so application wasn't impressive without a dampened brush or an eyeshadow primer underneath it. The wear was between six and eight hours.
Each eyeshadow can be lifted out of the compact by opening using the second opening along the bottom of the compact. The lip of the first opening is what keeps the eyeshadow in place within the compact itself. I thought it was clever and made for easy removal, though the overall component felt a little lightweight to the point that it did feel flimsy. These are a revamp of the previous Colorful Eyeshadow range, which ran for $10.00 but contained 0.07 oz. or $142.86/oz. while the new ones are $190.48/oz. I think these would be more viable if the price point was $6.00, which would have made them the same price per ounce as the previous formula. The $8.00 price point makes them more expensive than MAC and on par with Anastasia (both of which have more eyeshadow per pan, too), but the Sephora house brand has always seemed to priced below mid-end, so the price point on this doesn't quite make sense.

You are always so clever and efficient. The idea of doing a look with a family of shades, then breaking it down into a review of shades is really brilliant and a time saver. Some of the shadows seem ok, but I’m not bowled over.
I have the “old”/discontinued Girls Night Out and was surprised to see that this new one is so different that it’s not listed in the Dupes List.
An unrelated (sort of) question – I was trying to see if Inglot 419 or 422 were dupes for Tom Ford Smoked Opaline. When I tried to use the “Compare Any Two” feature, neither of the Inglot shadows would appear in the drop down, though I know there are swatches for both and they are often listed as dupes for other shadows. I tried typing in the numbers with and without the #, with “Pearl” and with “eyeshadow” hoping that some way, I’d get them to appear but nothing….lots of Jennifer Lopez shadows showed up but not those 2 shades. Any suggestions?
Okay, forget the 2nd half of the post above. All of a sudden, it’s working again and I’m able to see the swatches side by side. No idea what I wasn’t doing before that I’m doing now but it works!
Generally a pretty good set of ratings (apart from an epic fail of Sweet Lollipop) and Girls’ Night Out is a standout shade for me.
The only problem is I am not sure why anyone would buy all of these singles, as the shades are really popular ones and there are plenty of pretty good palettes around with these in them.
I guess if you only wanted one shade then these are good standbyes. Lovely eye look Christine.
Hi.. I love your reviews and I never buy anything before checking your channel and recommendations… I feel that you are the one honest reviewer left! So, please review the Bobbi brown sparkle sticks because I really like them but I won’t buy before knowing what you think of them… lots of love from India ❤️
I’m glad you enjoy my reviews! 🙂 Unfortunately, I don’t have those!
The actual eye look you got from these is so much better than one would expect with some of these shadows. Including an “F” rated one! Then again, Girl Night Out and Copper Rush are very rich, pigmented shades that look perfect.
