I have a lot of Pigments, both full-size and samples. What I like is that jars and samples both last FOREVER. What I like about buying them at the counter/store is that while a pressed shadow is $14.50, a Pigment is $19.50. A Pigment jar will last you YEARS and YEARS while a shadow may last only a few depending on how regularly it is used. It's comforting knowing your favorite color will be with you a long time.

For eyes, I apply it with the 242. I either scoop some out first or use the brush. I have the powder on a tissue or something similar and dunk the 242 into it. I then press it into my hand just to make sure the powder is sticking to the brush. I then pat the color onto the lids (already primed with a Paint Pot). That helps the eyeshadow apply more smoothly as well as lessen fall out. I compared this technique to dunking into the jar and applying straight the the lids using the patting motion. Dunk-and-apply causes ALOT of fallout, while the tissue-to-hand-to-lid creates the same look without getting too messy.
