My thoughts:
The Elf glitter gloss does feel gritty on the lips and you can noticeably feel the glitter. The gloss is decently long lasting, for me personally about 2 hours. After it wears off the glitter still stays behind. The wet n wild trios have yet to disappoint me. The one in silent treatment is great for a taupe smokey eye. Knock on wood gives off great pigmentation, but I have yet to create a look with this. Spoiled brat has a beautiful pink and silver, the black isn't very pigmented but you can still definitely work with it. What I have really enjoyed the most is the warm palette from Elf. Some of the shadows are hit or miss, like the matte shades have fairly poor pigmentation. The swatches shown are done without primer, just on bare skin. With primer these shadows have great pigmentation. For people who like a more neutral and natural look this palette is definitely a great investment. For $5 I found it worth the money.
