E.L.F. Studio Single Eyeshadow in Pebble Review

If you couldn't tell I have a serious love for E.L.F. products! I love how cheap they are, how easy it is to buy them, and the fact that they have promo codes all the time! It's hard not to buy from them. Recently I've been trying to focus on makeup brushes and the like instead of buying more makeup, however I failed a little. I ended up buying an E.L.F. Studio Single Eyeshadow in Pebble for $3. It is a small shadow and the packaging kind of reminds me of Nars products. There's even a small mirror inside. I personally think the mirror it too small for initial application but I could see it being handing for touch ups. The color in person is true to the color they show on the website. That's always one of my biggest worries when ordering any kind of colored cosmetic item online, will the color be what I saw online? The answer with this shadow is yes. The color pay off it self isn't that strong. I don't want to call it a sheer application but it's certainly not a strong color payoff, however you can easily build this. I would use this color day or night by it's self or as a crease color.

CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 1 Kit Eye Shadow in Tapestry Taupe

I recently bought a huge amount of new eye shadows, mostly Cover Girl eye shadows. I picked up singles, trios, and quads. Some of the shadows were great while others left some to be desired, and because this is such a well known brand and is very accessible I would like to review all of them for you. I personally like to read reviews before I go out and purchase things and for some of these eye shadows I wish I had done that. However, I knew when I bought these I wanted to do reviews on them so I wanted to be as unbiased as possible and give each shadow a fair shot. Tapestry Taupe is one shadow that I love. Its not a dark taupe and I like that. I like to use this all over my lid and crease for a quick and pretty natural looking eye. I have worn this everyday for a week to work. I think this is a great stand alone eyeshadow great for busy moms that don't want to spend forever getting a nice look or even college girls like my younger sister who have more important things to worry about than coordinating eye shadows before class. However, because this isn't too dark I wouldn't use this as a crease color with something that has a brownish tint to it on the lid. It could get lost with a shadow like that. over all though I would say this is a repurchase all the way and a great basic in any makeup collection.
