Note: As of May 2013, all Simmons students, faculty, and staff will be using Google Apps for Education (including Gmail). At that point, Simmons Webmail will be decommissioned. As of February 1, 2013, all new Simmons employees will be provided with a Google Apps account. Simmons Gmail is accessible from any computer or mobile device with an Internet connection by visiting gmail.simmons.edu. To find out more about the Google Apps project, please visit googleapps.simmons.edu.
Simmons Webmail is a web-based email platform that allows you to access your Simmons email from any computer or mobile device with an Internet connection. This guide provides an overview of how to navigate and use Webmail. Please note that Webmail is used only by faculty and staff at Simmons. Students can access their email at gmail.simmons.edu.Contents:
Getting StartedMost tools you will need to navigate Webmail are either at the top of the screen or in the side bar. You can toggle the side bar open and closed by clicking the (Toggle) Button on the left-most portion of your screen. The side bar provides an easy way to navigate your email folders, address book, and options in Simmons Webmail. Click the (plus sign) next to a category to expand a list of options. The Mail category will show a list of all your email folders.Configuring Settings and OptionsClick (Options) from the toolbar at the top of the screen to change settings that affect how you use Simmons Webmail.General Options: Personal Information: Before you get started, you should customize Simmons Webmail to contain your own information and to fit your email needs. Note that all options here refer to your Default Identity unless you choose to create a different identity. Your Default Identity contains the personal information that will be displayed in each email that you send or receive using Simmons Webmail. You should fill in your Name, Email Address, and Signature (if desired). Technology recommends that you leave the default "Save sent mail" at the bottom of the page. If you do not do this, your outgoing messages will not be saved.When you are finished editing your default identity, click Save Options to update your identity and return to the main options page.Message Options: Deleting and Moving Messages: Here you can change how Simmons Webmail handles your deletions and choose whether you want to go to the next message after you delete, copy or move a message, or go back to the list showing all of your email messages. Click Save Options to save your changes.Note that Simmons Webmail creates a Virtual Trash folder by default. This folder provides you with one place to review all of your deleted messages before permanently purging them. The (Empty Trash) button will remove all messages that appear in the Virtual Trash Folder from your Simmons email account.Other Options: Mailbox and Folder Display Options: These choices allow you to change the order in which email is sorted when viewing your list of messages and set the number of messages per page in the mailbox view. Click Save Options to save your changes.Message Options: New Mail: You can control how often Simmons Webmail will check for new mail and whether or not to notify you (through a pop up notification or sound) when you have new mail. By default, you must click the (Inbox) button at the top of your screen to check for new messages. Click Save Options to save your changes.Message Options: Message Composition: These options allow you to customize how you send mail, where drafts are saved, and how spell checks are performed. By default, "Compose messages in a separate window" is checked. This means that when you click New Message to compose an email, a window will pop up for you to type into. Click Save Options to save your changes.General Options: Login Tasks: From here, you can define maintenance operations that occur each time you login. If you have a Login Task scheduled, you will be presented with a confirmation message when you login, before seeing your email messages. You can choose to "Perform" or "Skip" the maintenance before continuing. Click Save Options to save your changes.By default, Simmons Webmail is set to Purge the Trash Folder on a monthly basis. This means that when you login, all messages in your Trash Folder that are older than 30 days will be permanently removed from your Simmons email account. You will be presented with a confirmation message before this happens. Simmons Technology recommends that you leave this default setting and choose to Perform Maintenance Operations when asked. This will ensure that you stay within your email quota and do not keep messages that you have already deleted in your trash. Reading and Composing Messages You can select a mail folder from the Open Folder list at the top right hand corner. Click the folder that you wish to open and the messages contained in the selected folder will be displayed.The Side Bar provides an alternate way to navigate your email folders. Click the (plus sign) next to the Mail category and click Inbox to read your mail.View a Message To read a message, click the sender or subject link of the message. Sort Messages You can sort messages by date, sender, subject, or size simply by clicking on the corresponding word at the top of your email list. You can also the reverse the sorting (from ascending to descending) by clicking on the triangle arrow next to wordTip: Sorting by size is a good way to see which messages are using the most of your quota. Composing and Sending MessagesIf you want to write a new email message, click (New Message) from the toolbar at the top of the screen. A Message Composition window will pop up for you to type your message. When you finish composing your message, click Send Message.You can use the Address Book function to find an email address by clicking (Address Book) when you compose a message. You can locate someone by Name or Email Address. From the list of addresses, you can select an email address and add it into the appropriate To, Cc or Bcc fields.Composing and Reading HTML MessagesComposing HTML MessagesYou can use Simmons Webmail to send messages using HTML formatting. This allows you to bold and underline text, to change the font size and color, and to format the message in ways normally reserved for a word processing application. Some people enjoy this capability. To send HTML formatted text, you can click (Switch to HTML composition) in the Message Composition window. You can set this by default if you go to Message Options: Message Composition, and click the box labeled "Compose messages with an HTML GUI by default." Note that not all web browsers support this feature. Once the Option has been set, when you click (New Message) the Message Composition window will include this toolbar: You can use this toolbar much as you would in a word processor to change the look of the text in your email.Reading HTML MessagesUsing Simmons Webmail, you may from time to time receive a message that looks strange. When you click on the message subject to read the email, instead of seeing a message you may see a variation of this: Sometimes you may be able to read the email message, but sometimes there will be a warning or error message instead of the email you wish to read. This means that the message you received was sent using HTML format. You must click the link to view the message as the sender intended you to see it. Clicking the link will pop-up a new window that will display the HTML message in your default web browser external to Simmons Webmail.This feature is by design in Simmons Webmail. Viewing HTML formatted messages can allow malicious programs to collect personal information that is stored on your computer. Many modern email clients do not permit the display of HTML formatted messages for security reasons. It is imperative that you trust the sender of the email before clicking the link to view the attached HTML message. Saving Draft MessagesIf you are composing a message and want to finish it later, you can click Save Draft in the Message Composition window. The draft message will be saved in a drafts folder. (This folder will be automatically created the first time you use Save Draft). You can retrieve the draft messages by using the Open Folder pull-down list at the top right hand corner or by using the side bar. Click resume at the top of the email window to continue typing the email.Replying to and Forwarding MessagesTo reply to a message, click on the message (in order to open it). Click Reply to reply only to the sender, or Reply to All to respond to the sender and all other recipients. A window similar to that of Message Composition will be displayed. When you finish composing your reply, click Send Message.Similarly, click to forward the open message to others and click Send Message to send your message.Sending AttachmentsIn the bottom section of the Message Composition window, there is an Attachments section. Click Browse to select a file from your computer. The selected file will be shown in the Attachment window. Click Attach and the file name, size and file type will be shown.Important: You must click Update to attach your chosen file to the email. If you do not click Update, the attachment will not be sent. Click Send Message to send your message.In case you wish to remove the attachment before sending your message, look again at the Attachments section. Under the box to add an attachment, a list of attached files is shown. Next to the attachment you wish to remove, click the box under the file name marked Delete and press Update. The selected files will be removed from the attachment list accordingly.Important: if you save your sent mail (the default Webmail setting), Webmail will not save attachments in your sent-mail, unless you change the "Save Attachments with messages in sent-mail folder?" option to Yes when you add an attachment. You can change the global setting through Options, but Technology recommends you do not change the global setting in order to more easily stay under quota. In your sent-mail, Webmail does indicate that a message included an attachment, whether you saved the attachment with the message or not.Checking SpellingIf you would like to check for spelling errors in the message you are writing, click Spell Check in the Message Composition window.Deleting and Undeleting MessagesTo delete a mail message, select the message by clicking the checkbox to the left of the message. Then click Delete.You can click (Empty Trash) to permanently remove your deleted messages from your Simmons email account. By default, this button will purge all messages that appear in your Virtual Trash folder. If you have selected the option to move all deleted messages to the Trash folder and do not use a Virtual Trash Folder, then Empty Trash will purge deleted messages from the Trash folder only.If you have deleted a message you did not intend to delete and wish to undelete it, navigate to the Virtual Trash folder. Select the message you wish to undelete by checking the box to the left of the message and click undelete at the top of your message list.Managing Email Using Folders You can better manage your email through the use of folders. By creating folders you can sort messages into categories that you define rather than storing them all in one location. This can help you more easily decide which messages are important to save and you will be able to locate a particular message faster. You can manage your mail folders by clicking (Folders) from the tool bar at the top of the screen. This will display the following screen: To create a folder, click the Choose Action pull-down window and click Create Folder. A dialog box will appear. Type the name of the folder to be created. Then click OK. The new folder will appear in the Folder Navigation window and you can also find it from the Open Folder pull-down list.You can rename or delete the mail folders by clicking the appropriate options under the Choose Action pull-down list. All the messages inside a folder will be deleted if you delete a folder.Selecting and Marking MessagesIn order to move, copy, delete, or mark a message you must first select it.You can select a message by clicking the checkbox to the left of it. You can check the box next to any number of messages on the current screen.You can select multiple messages in the folder you are currently viewing by using the Select pull-down list. You can select all the messages at once by choosing All from the pull-down list. Marking MessagesYou can change the status of a message by marking it. For example, you may wish to indicate that several messages in your Inbox are important to you. You would first select the messages you want to mark. Then choose Important from the Mark As pull-down list. Selecting Marked MessagesYou can use the Select pull-down list to select all messages of a chosen status from the current folder. Following our example, you can select all the messages you had previously marked Important by choosing Important from the Select pull-down list. Moving or Copying MessagesYou can move or create a duplicate of any number of messages to another folder. To do this, first select the messages, then choose the folder you wish to move or copy to from the Messages to: pull-down list.Next click either move or copy at the top of the screen to complete the action. Setting up Address Books You can store email addresses and personal contact details in your Address Book.Each user has a personal address book. To edit your address book, click (Address Book) from the toolbar at the top of the screen.Add an address:Click (New Contact). On the next screen, choose My Address Book from the drop-down list. (You cannot add a contact to the Simmons Directory.) The only mandatory field is Name, but you cannot send an email to a contact without providing an email address. When you finish entering the information, click Add.Search an address:Click (Search/Advanced Search) to search for a saved address. The Search function allows search by Name or Email, and the Advanced Search function provides more fields for searching. You can search your own address book or the entire Simmons Directory (see below). Enter the word for which you would like to search and click Search to start searching.Browse the address book:Click (Browse) to browse and select My Address Book to browse the contents of your address book. You cannot browse the entire Simmons directory here; you can only perform searches on it.Import/Export an address book:Click (Import/Export) to import an address book into your address book under Simmons Webmail or to export your address book saved under Simmons Webmail to your own disk.When you finish editing the address book, click (Mail) on top or the browser's Back button to go to the Inbox screen.Setting up a Distribution List

What We Do
P4P focuses on promoting the prevention of gender-based violence, or stopping violence before it starts. Prevention is an essential part of a comprehensive response to violence, and we now know more about what is promising to prevent violence in different settings. P4P helps to consolidate this knowledge and communicate it to practitioners and decision makers throughout the region. We also encourage localized innovations for prevention – both existing and new approaches to prevention that are yet to be documented. For more information on the prevention of GBV, see:
Our three main, closely integrated project areas are: research, capacity development, and communication for social change. Policy advocacy cuts cross these areas of work. A key advocacy goal for P4P is to mainstream prevention into all work related to GBV.
P4P provides comprehensive technical support to national partners to conduct rigorous research and analysis on GBV across the region. P4P also coordinates a multi-country and multi-method regional research project - UN Multi-country Study on Men and Violence - that, for the first time, will provide cross-country comparable data on GBV from the perspective of men, using a combination of quantitative, qualitative and political analysis methodologies. For more information on P4P's regional research project, see
Capacity development and enhancing projects
P4P works to strengthen the capacity of civil society, UN and government practitioners to understand the causes and effects of violence and how to design and implement meaningful programmes and policies to prevent violence. We also seek to build synergies between global and local knowledge and best practices, and facilitates regional cooperation and collaboration. This includes supporting two sub-regional consortiums of practitioners in South Asia and East & Southeast Asia. Each consortium promotes critical knowledge on masculinities, power, gender-justice, and violence prevention through collective learning, curriculum development, partnership and mentorship.
Through UN Volunteers, we are also learning more about volunteering and violence prevention from selected pilots at the community level around the region.
Communication for social change
P4P assists with the design and implementation of communication strategies aimed at GBV prevention. We help with campaign design including messages and tools targeting specific groups. We advocate for strategic communication approaches that are informed by research, based on evidence of what has worked in the past and that incorporate strong monitoring and evaluation practices.

Updating you with Instagram!
I think we make terrible bloggers. Last update was from March? Really?? Oh man. To make up for it, please let us update you with some posts from our Instagram! If you aren't following us yet, please do! It's our saving grace from our lack of updates here on the blog (which I am still quite embarrassed about, to be honest), haha. :)
Recently, we've been doing work with the awesome rocker chef behind popular restaurants Guevarra's and Bistro Filipino, Chef Laudico!
A bit of prototyping for one of our clients, The Noodle Bakes! Packaging design happiness!
Trying out (then) soon-to-come flavors at BONO Artisanal Gelato over a meeting!
Trying out a new shooting style for a photo shoot! We're beginning to see the limits of having just one light. Perhaps it's time to upgrade our equipment?
Lunch meeting at Starbucks. :)
Finally, a complete team photo! Yaaay thanks Tricia for taking this for us! Pre-meeting photo, haha. :)
Paid a visit to Go! Salads a couple of days before their soft opening!
Attended the Go! Salads soft opening last Thursday! There was a live performance during the first part by the owner, Cibbie, along with two of his sisters, and their friend Dav. Their sound was beyond lovely! We could have listened to them play all night.
Official merch of The Noodle Bakes, haha! The owner, Sam, had her sticker at the back of her phone! So cool!
* * *
We've got more projects lined up, so hopefully we get to make proper posts soon!

The VC's Life Cycle 2 Blog: Day 14 – Eastbourne to Dover
September 7, 2012
It's interesting how distance becomes relative. At breakfast today when our maps were handed out, there was real delight that we 'only' had about 65 miles to do. Four months ago we were not even doing that in training runs. And, apart from two big climbs, one out of Hastings and one into Dover, it …
News Flash
September 6, 2012
The team have completed their challenge, and everyone is in high spirits after arriving in Dover at 16:01. Well done to all the team, it's a fantastic achievement!
The VC's Life Cycle 2 Blog: Day 13 – Winchester to Eastbourne
We passed 1,000 miles today, at Rottingdean, east of Brighton. It was a great feeling, that's a lot of miles in a saddle. We had a comfortable night in a Hall of Residence at the University of Winchester. No breakfast was available, so the Support Team rustled up a Bunkhouse style offering from what was …
The VC's Life Cycle 2 Blog: Day 12 – Banbury to Winchester
September 5, 2012
We stayed overnight at the Cromwell Arms in Banbury and Susan joined us for dinner. It is a well situated hotel, with excellent rooms and good food. Today's route was put together by our leg rider Doug Thomson. Doug is a History graduate and a very good friend of the University. He lives in Woodstock …
The VC's Life Cycle 2 Blog: Day 11 – Nottingham to Banbury
September 4, 2012
'The day after the night before' was not as subdued as I expected. After such an uplifting afternoon on University Park, waning enthusiasm could have been forgiven. But, there was none of that. Those staying at Cripps Hall, and a few that stayed at home, had a great breakfast (including the best porridge of the …
The VC's Life Cycle 2 Blog: Day 10 – Lincoln to Nottingham
September 3, 2012
What a fabulous day. We knew it would be, but it was better than we could have hoped for. The start was at Lincoln Cathedral, by a mile the most iconic start point of Life Cycle 2. It was a real thrill to see more than 50 leg riders preparing to take on the 54 …
The VC's Life Cycle 2 Blog: Day 9 – Wetherby to Lincoln
September 2, 2012
Another 83 miles covered today. Some bodies are hurting, twelve to be precise. Hardly surprising, after 701 miles and cumulative climbs of over 37,000 feet. There is also a fair amount of fatigue. That obviously comes partly from the battering our bodies from day after day of 80 or 90 miles on a saddle. There …
The VC's Life Cycle 2 Blog: Day 8 – Kirkby Lonsdale to Wetherby
September 1, 2012
So let's start today with mishaps, because that's how the day started: Simon's chair collapsed under him at breakfast. He alleges sabotage on the part of the Support Team, for a cheap laugh (and it did get a lot of laughs); they have another explanation. The second mishap occurred on Settle Hill.

While instructional leaders regularly rely on formal observations and evaluations to drive change within their schools, there is significant evidence that brief, structured, non- evaluative learning walks/walk throughs can significantly impact and improve teaching and learning. When leaders collaborate with staff to focus critically on school goals and then develop meaningful plans for implementation, learning walks positively impact instruction. This 4-week workshop will assist you as you (1) develop a critical focus for meaningful learning walks within your school; 2) plan and implement a structure and communication process for these classroom visits, and (3) evaluate the effectiveness of these learning walks.

Designed by adrenaline junkies specifically for Speed Raceway, each eco-friendly electric XLR8R kart can thrust racers at speeds nearing 50 mph through Speed Raceway's quarter-mile track. With 2 inches between you and the track below, the karts revolutionize the wind-resistant, frictional foundations of modern physics, proving once and for all that all physics is theoretical, especially gravity. Each 12-lap contest pits white-knuckled drivers against one another, and the entire field against a smug, unrelenting clock. Soon, licensed members can view an online database of their best times anytime, anywhere, and always in the presence of a disbelieving trackside crush.
Looking to put a new spin on a classic family activity, the minds behind Glowgolf decided to give the game a phosphorescent update. Incandescent courses place friends and family amid a tropical-fantasy golf world of neon orange, green, and violet surroundings. Players putt luminous orbs through vibrant treasure chests and glimmering windmills while negotiating tricky obstacles near walls portraying black-light-lit aquatic scenes. With more than 20 locations spread over 10 states, Glowgolf's fluorescent labyrinths challenge human players and traveling gnomes.
Rocky Mountain Batting Cages challenges softball and baseball lumber-luggers with six batting cages that use four semiautomatic fast- and slow-pitching machines. Once inside the cage with a free helmet and bat, batters set themselves in the new turf of the batter's box, simulating on-field experience with pre-at-bat rituals such as tightening gloves, loosening shoulders, or singing the refrain from "U Can't Touch This." For ace hurlers and infield clamberers, throwing tunnels and two pitching mounds make for a spot to hone in on an unhittable knuckleball. Rocky Mountain Batting Cages uses video analysis equipment and MotionPro! software to crunch cage-culled data and dispense digital feedback on swing technique and pitch fluidity.
Laser Quest's mazelike, multi-level arena lets up to 39 players weave through the clouded fog with the grace of a skydiving basket-maker—taking cover behind barriers, swooping around corners, and raining beam-bolts down from the upper decks. Players can compete either as friendly teams or as lone wolves. Once they are surrounded by intense crossfire rarely seen outside of stormtrooper raves, players must use strategy, stamina, and well-timed hand-mirror shields to defeat the opposition.
The screams reach out for the brave souls who venture into The Asylum Haunted House before they can see anything. Descending two levels into the darkness of Gordon Cottingham's Hospital for the Mentally Insane, they hear the tortured cries of patients who have been abused and drugged and held captive within decrepit walls and the dungeons of their own minds. Demented doctors with questionable motives and ultra-low OSHA ratings lurk throughout 15,000 square feet of damp, musty space infested with spiders, rats, and snakes. The graphic makeup and Hollywood-style effects couple with the realistic-looking environs to make the site one of the scariest haunted houses in America, according to the Discovery Channel and HauntWorld magazine. Even the seemingly fearless Bam Margera recommends it.
Those who survive The Asylum's insanity emerge into the postapocalyptic landscape of the adjacent Zombieland Haunted House. There, the living dead wander through the quarantined streets of a crumbling city, in and out of dilapidated buildings, searching for human flesh or half-eaten candy bars.
Between bowling, bumper cars, climbing walls, and video games, iT'Z Family Food & Fun has all the favorite indoor activities covered. Varied attractions keep kids and adults entertained all day long, and the bodacious all-you-can-eat buffet means never having to say you're hungry.

text: This is sort of off thread but I was wondering if anyone has a comment. I am having a real problem finding real Grindal Worm starters. Without setting up any liability for myself I will state that the two major suppliers of commercial live food starters appear to have some problems distinguishing a true Grindal worm from a white worm. I have purchased starters from two different places and what winds up growing is a worm that is about 3/4 to 1 inch long. This is not a Grindal Worm. It is one of the smaller of the 5 or 6 species of white worms. A true Grindal Worm should not be much larger then 3/8 to 1/2 of an inch. If you look in Masters there are about 5 species of white worms listed with sizes varying from 1/2 to 1 1/2 inch in length. Me thinks that the answer is that white worms are over growing the Grindal Worm cultures that are being sent out as starters.

Do not rely on the wifi it is notoriously unreliable!!(if you can connect at all) and if you do it constantly disconnects!Hotel was undergoing renovations during our stay […] but I think when finished and with a bit more information on check in and focus on the customer this hotel could be great.It is in a good neighbourhood about 15 minutes walk to the Arc d Triomph and a further 15 minutes to the Eiffel Tower.Also there is a Metro station 2 minutes walk away at the end of the block,plenty of good places to eat and a supermarket next door.

"Nice Hotel within walking distance of attractions"
very simple but nice hotel in a quiet part of the city. It is a little tired, but a nice converted apartment building with an elevator which could accomodate (bearly) two people with luggage. It was a 15 minute walk to the Arc along a nice street. Good cafe across the street with a good breakfast. We like to walk,so we were able to walk to the Louvre, […] and Eiffel Tower from the hotel.

"A different kind of hotel"
This was one of the rare occasions I was pleasantly surprised by a hotel. My wife and I had rolled the dice and used a "Secret Hotel" booking. We got a good deal in terms of price, then a bit appointed to get a Best Western hotel. Only because I do a lot of business travel and they are generally more business type. On arrival we found Wagram Metro station […] to be on the opposite side of the same block. Easy to find, just walk around the block either direction from the exit and you'll find it. This is a boutique hotel, taken over by Best Western and still has that feel. Original Art Deco styling, odd shaped hotel with odd shaped rooms (only 4 per floor), odd shaped mirrors on the recommended the walk down the stairs, impossibly small lift (max. about 3 people). Bear in mind that generally 4* in France is about 3* actual, this was on par in my experience, with ups and downs in condition, service and facilities that didn't take away from the overall experience. Sure this is a quirky hotel, they have breakfast facilities (not used) but no proper restaurant. We ordered room service on the night we arrived and, given no restaurant, received high quality, cold (as designed) food. That said, using the chicken club sandwich as a standard measure of quality across hotels, this was one of the best I've ever had; tasty, moist and crunchy on the outside. This hotel is probably not for everyone, but if you want one that's not a cardboard cut-out of another hotel, then try this one. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

We found a great italian restaurant (Antonio's) across the road which is perfect for evenings when your too tired to make an effort for dinner. And many more in the locality within a ten minute walk. The cleaning staff start at about 10 - 1030 in the morning which acts as a great alarm to get you out of bed and kick starting your day in this beautiful city. It was great to come back every day to a freshly cleaned room and changed bed covers. Im certainly not used to that.

Survey shows 33% of Apple iPad users would prefer a root canal to dropping their tablet

How far would you go to prevent your Apple iPad from getting dropped? A recent survey of 1,300 Apple iPad owners by Brainshark reveaks that 33% would rather have a root canal than drop their precious tablet; 60^ of those surveyed used the Apple iPad while on the potty...

This has to be one of the stupidest survey comparisons I've ever seen.
People read BOOKS in the bathtub - why is anyone surprised they use an iPad?
And a root canal isn't painful - it's before they do it that you've got pain. Like paying to upgrade your iPad each time a new one comes out.

Article: Self-assembled diphenylalanine nanowires for cellular studies and sensor applications
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper we present a series of experiments showing that vertical self-assembled diphenylalanine peptide nanowires (PNWs) are a suitable candidate material for cellular biosensing. We grew HeLa and PC12 cells onto PNW modified gold surfaces and observed no hindrance of cell growth caused by the peptide nanostructures; furthermore we studied the properties of PNWs by investigating their influence on the electrochemical behavior of gold electrodes. The PNWs were functionalized with polypyrrole (PPy) by chemical polymerization, therefore creating conducting peptide/ polymer nanowire structures vertically attached to a metal electrode. The electroactivity of such structures was characterized by cyclic voltammetry. The PNW/PPy modified electrodes were finally used as amperometric dopamine sensors, yielding a detection limit of 3,1 µMJournal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology 06/2012; 12:3077-3083. · 1.56 Impact Factor

Wet n Wild ColorIcon Eyeshadow Palette
Wet n Wild ColorIcon Eyeshadow Palette Reviews
Wet N Wild Coloricon
I bought the palette with 3 shadows, light green, greenish turquoise and orange. Each shadow indicates where it should go on your eyes, which is actually obvious to anyone who wears a lot of different shadow palettes like I do. But, for a beginner that's great. I have gotton so many compliments when I wear this trio, especially the light green as an under the brow highlighter. This is so reasonably priced at Walgreen's-$4.99. I have paid $36 for the Too Faced Summer palette. Actually, the colors and quality of this Wet N Wild trio are really good. They are highly pigmented, and I don't have to use a primer. The orange is so much better than the Too Faced orange. Wet N Wild's orange is a truer orange and really shows up; whereas the Too Faced orange takes several applications to show up. These colors are a great summer palette, especially since orange is the rage this season. I would highly recommend this line of shadows because they go on well with a sponge applicator (better than a brush in this case), colors are good, and the colors last all day. The how to instructions is a good idea, too. A lot went into this palette, and the price is incredible, especially for one who is used to paying high prices for prestige brands. — 11 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful

Review subject
The eyeshadow trio is great. I purchased it in 3 dif colors, and still had money left over. They apply smooth, but I still had to use an eyeshadoe primer. With use of an eye primer, the color does not crease, and the pigmentation is good. The color selection was nice as well. — 1 year, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
