Wet n wild Eye Bruise Easily shadow review/swatches

I picked up this pretty duo called Eye Bruise Easily from the clearance bin at my local Walgreens for about 50 cents. The shimmery brown caught my eye. Thought it would look pretty on me. I was right.

Here's a swatch:


And here it is on my peepers:


I looove the brown because aside from the gold micro shimmers in it, it's barely noticeable. That makes it perfect for doing neutral looks for work.
Unfortunately, the black hasn't been working very well as a shadow for me.
I've been trying to do a smoky eye with the look but I think I'm not blending it correctly or something. One thing I will master this year is the smokey eye with this shadow duo, dammit!!
Surprisingly, the black has been working very well as a black eyeliner. Maybe that's the function of the black in this duo? Where's a make-up artist when you need them?
Anywhoo, I know I'll get more use of out the brown shade in this duo though.
Still a pretty, cheap duo.

What are you wearing on your peepers these days?
