Sephora Colorful Mono Eyeshadows
Ladies and Gentlemen, if you have not swatched the newly released Sephora Colorful Collection Eyeshadows yet, GET THERE AND GET IT DONE. PRONTO!
5 Reasons you should check it out if you love eyeshadows.
- Oh lawd, these are SO pigmented.
- The color range is gorgeous. They have plenty of beautiful mattes, metallics, pearls and glitters. The glitters are a little one-dimensional (they’ve pretty much all got silver sparkles) but that’s the only problem.
- They have the most incredibly pigmented and silky mattes. Better than MAC and on par with Urban Decay. But even Urban Decay doesn’t have that incredible matte red, and matte neon pink that Sephora does.
- I suspect they have more “fatty" binders in their shimmer and glitter formulas than other brands, because even the glitter shadows go on creamy and smooth. This also means the shadows stay on longer and go on more evenly. To the touch, the only other brand I know with the same “fat" levels is Dior.
- You get 2.3g of product for US$13 or SGD19, and they’re about the size of Make Up For Evers. (MAC and Urban Decay pans only hold 1.5g and they cost more.)
In Singapore, Sephora is holding a promotion where the purchase of 2 pans gets you a free 3-well magnetic palette free. (The thing’s sturdy, has a big mirror, and is pretty nifty. It comes with a little “key" to safely lift your pans out of their cases without messing with pins or risking incidents when you slip and gouge out a chunk of shadow with your nail.)
