Smoke Reflect Eyeshadow Duo

I have both Temper and Defiance sets. They are a bit similar but both look great on my skin and flatter brown eyes. They are both very easy to blend and they don't look smudgy if my eyes water. Packaging is nice and heavy, which feels luxurious. The mirror is very cute.

Though the deep, dirty olive color is absolutely gorgeous, the mousse part seems a bit dried out even though I’ve been keeping the little topper on it AND screwing the lid on tightly. I put my finger in to get some out of the pot and the entire product came out of the packaging into my hand.

The powder product on top goes on pretty patchy as well. Given the rave reviews for this very expensive product, I wonder if this is just not a fresh product? Surely something priced like this should perform better than this does?

Formula for the cream part is completely identical to the old Tom Ford cream shadow, which speaks to the quality in my opinion. So easy to blend out and a tiny bit goes a long way. The shimmer shadow is more of a topper than a regular shadow but the cream part more than makes it up for me.

The shimmer is probably my top 2 out of all I tried, with top 1 being palladium from terra moons. The green is also perfection as it's the first green that matches the green of my hazel eyes perfectly.

It also lasts pretty well and noticed only minimal creasing (but all eyeshadows crease on my eyes, so it performed really well compared to many others, even compared to cream Charlotte Tilbury and some pressed Natasha Denona ones).

I appreciate the versatility of cream shadows but not every brand gets the formula right. The Auric formula is right up there with MAC and Tom Ford (sadly seems to be discontinued?) for me. Very easy to work with and doesn't crease with all day wear.

I love a neutral "just right" rose gold color that complements my skin tone. The formula for these shadows are lovely - they blend beautifully. Definitely recommended, looking forward to collect more shades.

Applies smoothly and wears very well without smudging or creasing. Minimal fallout with the shadow topper. The color complements my skin too so I use mine quite frequently!

I got the Temper duo. Creamy and pigmented. The cream formula stays put for over 8 hours, without smudging or fading. Another point won for not creasing or flaking at all, which goes for the topper as well. Very happy with the quality.

Got it in the shades Defiance and Disrupt. The cream shadow is very well formulated. Comfortable to apply and blend, with no smudging or creasing. The powders stay on the lids and look vibrant. Highly recommended, looking forward to trying different shades next time.

Love these duos - very easy to apply. I am not exactly an eyeshadow beginner (but not an expert either) though I still appreciate a fool-proof formula like this one. Easy to swipe on for a quick look that still looks pretty polished.
