Formula Overview
$9.99/0.049 oz. - $203.88 Per Ounce
The formula is described as "crease-resistant" with "bold" and "long-lasting color" for "24-hour wear." They further remarked that it had "high pigment." Most of the shades had semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation, and they were buildable in coverage if they weren't fully opaque.
They had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that glided on comfortably whether used all-over the lid or on the lash line. However, they weren't so creamy that they took too long to set or were difficult to keep from creasing as they dried down. They blended out well along the edges within the first 15 seconds, and then they were fairly set and didn't budge (but they also didn't flake after they were set!).
Unfortunately, 24-hour wear is quite the claim to make, and while these lasted 10 to 12 hours on me, which I'd consider to be quite good, they did not make it to 24 hours at all. If I'm generous, I'd say that there was about 50-60% of product left after 14 hours. So long as you're not actually on the hunt for 24-hour wear, I imagine most folks would be happy with the longevity!

Even though it only got a B- rating, I’m interested in I’m Fierce. For the price, I think I can live with a less than outstanding rating and if I make a point of using it often, I might actually use it up before it dries out.
Because the old Color Tattoo formula was able to stand up to my odd pH tears, I would love to get I Am Fierce and Determined just to see how these stack up to the OG in glass pots!
I really love the I am Inspired and I am Fierce shades – both are colours that I wear a great deal. I couldn’t help but notice when looking at the dupes for I am Fierce – so many of them are from awhile ago and the good old bareMinerals Ready formula was prominent.
Those “Ready” shadows from bareMinerals were so good. I have several duos and a quad and 2 small palettes and they were all really good shadows. I never did get Speaker Box (or UD Chains – another regret) but I have so many dupes for Speaker Box that it lessens the regret somewhat. I wonder why they scrapped that entire line. I guess it wasn’t a big seller but it was such a good collection of shadows.
