Check out Part I of my Swatches and Review of the Big Bounce Shadows for a comprehensive feedback on these new products. I know that these shadows have received a lot of flak lately for not applying evenly on the lid and for creasing. For some reason, I did not have any of those problems with these products. Take note that I used them as colored bases, not eyeshadows themselves, and I used an eyeshadow primer before I applied the Big Bounce Shadows. I applied powder eyeshadows over the Big Bounce shadows to make the colors pop. Therein probably lies the difference in my review vis-a-vis other people's experience. I am not a fan of cream shadows being used as the main shadows themselves, so I will always be using the Big Bounce Shadows as bases for my powder eyeshadows. This worked perfectly with my application techniques as well as my needs. That said, other people react differently to different kinds of products, so it is best to try out these products for yourself.

Apart from the Big Bounce shadows pictured above, I also liked Sizzlin' Diva and Rich Thrills so I got them as well. I love Rich Thrills which is a dirty silver with multi-coloured pearl. Perfect for a greyish smokey eye. I also like Sizzlin' Diva because it's bright, coppery with gold pearl. It would be great with neutrals, golds, bronzes, and warm shades like corals.

I actually really liked these too. Of course they creased on me when worn alone, but when used as a base... dang ... amazing color!
