The packaging for the product is simple and sleek (a bit bulky). Although I didn't care much for the color label located on top. It was very difficult to peel off, and the product labeling info (color & product #) are on this label that I removed! There is another abbreviated reference to the color name on the bottom.
I purchased 3 colors from my local Woodman's grocery store. They were $2.49 each. The 3 colors I picked up are below. I ended up dropping the Turquoise Tempest and it shattered horribly. Still usable but I don't find that with a lot of my higher end products (MAC, Bobbi Brown, Nars, Sephora). I'm clumsy as heck so I've dropped quite a few pots!

Initially the application was easy, smooth, and vibrant. But when I started blending the colors muddled pretty bad. I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for something highly pigmented or want your colors to be really vibrant. Although if you are going for just lid coverage the colors are okay with primer!

I create a simple eye using all 3 colors. I did apply primer to my eyes and used a few additional products to complete the look.
The Good: Inexpensive, good portion, easy application
The Bad: Not vibrant, may need to really pack on, not good for blending, colors fade fairly quickly
Final Opinion? These won't go in my working kit, but will be great for wearing at my day job, as well as for when my girls and I have "makeup fun". I was disappointed with the vibrancy of this product as well as the blend ability.
Good post! Just hate I can't read your blog on my phone ;0(
ReplyDeleteTry Loreal products. I love them & they are fairly in expensive. I use the same 3 shade technique you used in your pictures & they don't "muddle" as bad as the CG products do.
