Packaging:
The shadow trio comes in a sleek matte teardrop-shaped palette. The design is very compact and travel-friendly, there is even a discreet little sponge applicator tucked away on the rim.

Formulation:
The new i-Color palettes are divided into three categories: Party Brights, Everyday Sets, and Evening Sets. Like before, there are palettes for brown, blue, hazel, and green eyes. I have here the Party Brights for Brown Eyes, which features some lovely purples. The highlight shade is a shimmery lavender, the crease is a dark plummy satin and the all-over shade is a soft matte lavender.

Both the highlight and crease are nicely pigmented but the lid color is a bit sheer, albeit very soft and finely-milled. The formulation of these are good for the price point. They are not as buttery and pigmented as I like them to be but the color select feature for these make it easy for beginners to find the right colors for them.
Availability:
The new Almay i-Color palettes are available now in stores.
