Pros: Can't think of any
Cons: Way too dark, only one applicator, didn't blend well.

Cons: Plum is too dark, overall a big flop

I would have to say that overall, I am really disappointed. The commercials make this shadow seem so great, but there is no more pop in my eyes from using this product than anything else you can get. I just feel sort of ripped off.
