Kanebo • KATE Glam Trick Eyes

I bought these shades in BK-1 (absolutely LOVE this one) and BR-2; a little too brownish for me; gave it away to my mom :) Anywho, I was surprised at the quality of these shadows, keeping in mind that these are a Japanese drugstore brand. Needless to say, I wish the drugstore brands in North America were as great!! The shades are absolutely gorgeous and shimmery. You can wear the colors for the daytime, and intensify the look with the darkest shade that comes with each of the palettes. They come in various colors, and I will definitely order more in the future!! And on a final note, even the brush that comes with it is great! Soft sponge applicator on one side, and a soft small brush on the other. I use them sometimes when I'm too lazy to find the proper MAC brush for the colors :P

Kanebo • KATE Gradical Eyes S

I have these in BR-1 and GD-1. Both are great quality and not too intense when it comes to application (i like my eye shadows that way!!). The BR-1 is a great everyday pallette. Wheres the GD-1 is a little more gorgeous, which I like to use for night when going out. You can easily wear all these sets for daytime, and then use the darkest shade (on the left) on the crease to amp the look up for nighttime.
They aren't that expensive; I got each for $15CND online, and am planning to getting more in the future :)

Kanebo • KATE Select Eye Colors

This was part of KATE's 2008 Christmas Holiday collection. It comes in 4 shades, in 2 different palettes. One is called "Black Selection" (this is the one I own) and the other is "Brown Selection".
The Black Selection comes with a shimmery white, a light silver, a taupe, and a dark shimmery greyish black. The palette design itself is different from all other KATE palettes in that it comes with a decent sized mirror and the usual 2 sided brush application (sponge, brush). The quality of these shadows are really nice. They are not too shimmery, but more of a pearl-esque payoff. They have good color payoff, and are easily blendable. I think this is a affordable smokey eyes palette that all girls should have!! I highly recommend it, if you can still get it (last I checked, it is still on adambeauty.com's site).
