I always use Avon make up as it is value for money and good quality but this eyeshadow compact is my favourite because it glides on smoothly even using just my finger when I am in a hurry and I need not reapply anytime during my day or even as I go out after work. Its awesome, it lasts till I have it removed with my eye-make up remover. I do find the applicator is not as sturdy as the sponge came off the stick shortly after I purchased compact. I do use the Avon eye make up brush though instead which I got for free so I am thankful for those freebies from Avon. Another definite feature of this compact that I like is that I have dropped the compact from my handbag and the eye shadows are still intact, they did not break or become powder and get ruined so truly that is wonderful and it fits easily into my smallest handbag even side zip area so I can take it anywhere with me. I love this product and look forward to more eyeshadow choices from Avon.
