DANGEROUS for contact lens wearers

This says it's safe for contact lens wearers but not for me. This eyeliner left waxy residue that quickly spread over my contact lens, leaving me essentially blind. Thankfully my contacts are disposable but this was one of the most terrifying experiences I've ever had while wearing makeup because it happened when I was driving. Do not recommend!!!!

Good packaging, product stains lighter skin and very irritating.

So yes, these are well-milled pigments and most of them do blend beautifully. Packaging is nice and this is a BIG palette with generously sized pans. The pros stop there though. The problem I had was how irritated my skin was from using some of the colors. To add insult to injury the colors stained my eyelids. I had read the reviews that indicated this might happen but I did not realize how bad it would be. The staining bled beyond where the eyeshadow was applied so it looked like a tiny weird halo of pink around my eyeshadow. Because the staining from these shades is not the same as the shade itself, it looked odd.

Maybe another palette with less red might work better but I read that Blue Blood also stains somewhat. It's a shame because I really wanted to love this palette. I've been looking for a really good palette with strong pigments that's mostly matte and thought it was this one... but was not to be. Sending it back :(

Darker than product photos/description, product bleeds and streaks

I know it's an unpopular opinion but this was not worth the $. It is considerably darker than the pictures show. I wore this for an event where nobody was doing anything strenuous, mainly sitting down at tables listening to speeches and music. Did not eat greasy food, did not touch my mouth. I drank water through a straw a few times. Within a few hours it had dried my lips out considerably, the color was uneven and streaky. A friend stopped me and was like "girl I hate to break it to you but it's looking kinda gross." Embarrassing!!! The color was uneven. Most liquid lipsticks I use from other brands simply wear off starting on the inside of your lips, but this just looked like 3 different products mixed up and streaking by the time my friend pulled me aside. Thankfully I had wipes in my purse...it took a lot of work to completely remove it so I could replace it with something else that would not look so ick. And at the end of the night I realized it had stained my mouth unevenly too.
