Beauty Product Reviews

No lasting power

What a disappointment. I had been drooling over these shadows for a full year. Read and watched every review. I thought I had a real handle on the pros and cons of these shadows and finally saved up and pulled the trigger, getting 02, 08, 09, and 10.

My first disappointment was the packaging. Everyone said it was cheap so I expected that. What I didn't expect was that 3 of the 4 palettes had flaws where the insert wasn't fitted properly, winding up on the diagonal, and I had to force them into place first thing.

But I got over that.

Then I created a look using industrial and glam green that was literally the prettiest thing I've ever put on my eyes (which is why this gets two stars instead of one). Two hours later it was completely gone. This was over my usual primer which gives me 8-12 hour wear for most shadows. Tried it a few more times with no primer, different primer. It didn't matter. These shadows have no lasting power at all. Plus some of them were patchy, fussy, and hard to work with.

Unacceptable for the price. I had to send them back. :(
