This is my favorite of the three Venus XS palettes. For a palette with only four shades, it's surprisingly versatile and all-inclusive. First, this palette isn't your typical harsh and literal translation of silver and grey shades. These colors are definitely silver-grey, but they're a bit muted. They look really good on skin, not just in the pan, which is impressive considering that most silver-grey palettes are too cool-toned to be complimentary on most skin tones.The two mattes blend out effortlessly and work very well together to create depth and dimension. The two sparkly shades pack a lot of punch without leaving a giant glittery mess on your face. I only had the slightest bit of fallout with the darker of the two sparkly shades. I didn't need to use a glitter base or a damp brush to achieve a sufficiently sparkly look. The sparkly shades are a bit sheer on their own, but they layer nicely over the matte shades if you want to create a darker, sparkly eye shadow look. Less

I got all 3 minis for Christmas and love them. the pigment is great and the fallout is minimal and the colors blend wonderfully. Don't be intimidated by the colors they're actually very wearable. 

Icicle-applies well with brush, finger, and sponge. needs a few coats to reach full color payoff. has fallout.Chilly-applies best with sponge. Finger or brush appear shear and apply with less shimmer. Shade is very turquoise ish. needs a few coats to reach full color payoff.Comet-applies best with sponge but can apply with brush or finger. Not a solid gray but is a shiny gray-pink-blue duo-chrome. nice semi creamy texture.Solstice- applies chalky and shear with brush or sponge. Scratch the surface of this shadow to create a small pile of loose powder then pack it onto your lid using your finger. This shade has major fallout potential and needs a few coats to reach full color payoff.1 Consider messily applying these shadows with your finger and then shaping the look with a cue tip rubbed in primer or remover afterwords.2 I used a normal primer, glitter primer may yield different results.3 The lasting power of these shadows is nice but they may leave blue hued stains on the face for two days after use. I used almay miceler water and benefit "there real remover" to remove this shadow. There was still blue present. Less

I purchased this one and Vixen, and I love them both! No hard pan, good pigmentation, super blendable, and totally wearable! For those complaining about hard pan, I'll give you a hint: use different brushes. The super soft fluffy ones just aren't good for most powder formulas as far as eyeshadow. I use Morphe 431 and a dense packing/flat eyeshadow brush and I have never had any problems with any Lime Crime palette. This is one of my favorite, packable little quads! 

I bought this and Vixen. Love Lime Crime shadows. They are pigmented and easy to blend. I've had no issue with pigmentation, blending, fall out or any other issue. Love this palette. The Green duo chrome is awesome!
