Just wanted to start off saying Happy New Year, even if it's a little late. It's still January so I say it counts! :P
I recently bought all 27 shades of the Mineral Eyeshadow from E.L.F when the website was doing their half off of their favorites. I have heard so much about this brand all over the place from magazines to youtube videos. So I was super excited to get thede in the mail. Over all I really like this eyeshadow a lot. And for $3, it's a really good bang for your buck!
Here is what I like about this product. It's super affordable. These shadows are highly pigmented. There is a good selection of shades. What I don't like is there are not very many matte finishes. There are only 6. I wish there was a great brown shade that was matte for the crease. The matte shades that they do have are very chalky which you'll see in the swatches. Other than that, they eyeshadows blend nicely, which is great.
Swatches
From top left to bottom Right: Temptress, Sweet, Golden , Enchanting, Natural, Innocent, Seductive, Socialite, Angelic, and Flirty
Left row (Vertical) top to right row (Vertical) bottom: Elegant, Royal, Mysterious, Girly, Confident, Trendy, and Celebrity.
Here is the look I was wearing today with these shadows:
What I'm wearing:
Highlighter: Angelic
Lid: Mysterious, Celebrity, and Trendy
Crease: Enchanting and Trendy
Outer V: Confident
Once again, I love this product. And I will be able to create so many looks. My favorite shades are Mysterious, Temptress, and Socialite. I give it a 4 out of 5since there isn't a great matte brown shade for the crease. Other than that, if you get a chance, check out this product. There are so many great shades to choose from.
I hope 2012 is filled with many great opportunities and happy moments! Happy 2012!!!
