Though I did pick up a fan brush for $10.99 because of the sale!!

Yeah, that's what I was worried about. When I tested the eyeshadows on a dry hand the pigmentation payoff was poor and it rubbed off easily. It packed on better and had greater tenacity when I tested them on a hand with a thin film of moisturizer, so they would probably wear ok with a base. (If your SDM still has some of the 'mineral' eyeshadow duos from the previous collection (the ones in the metal cases), check them out. Those, I absolutely love.)
Anyway, I ended up getting three of the new Marcelle mineralized shadows instead, which looked a lot nicer on.
I just went back and re-tested the bronzers. The gold one has better pigmentation and feels softer than the pinkish one, but neither one of them blew me away.
On the other hand, I really liked the 'tester-tube' glosses they had out with that same collection - very Dazzleglass-like in terms of the shine and glitter particles. And I loved the scent! I wish the regular Quo glosses smelled like that, instead of the too-sweet creme brulee scent.
