Price and Amount of Product - I purchased this at my local CVS for about $4.00. Prices will vary. This eye dust comes with 0.1 oz, or 2.8 g.
Overview and what this is: This product is basically a crushed up eyeshadow that appears to be in powder form; it has enough similar qualities to be classified as a pigment (very similar to MAC's pigments). It also includes a very small brush that is surrounded by plastic and fits into a niche within the container. How do
you use this? Well, here is NYC's take on how to use this product "Tap applicator brush to remove excess powder. Sweep over eyelids. Gently blend with fingertip."As far as the color goes, as you can see from the swatch to the right, the eyeshadow is a medium light grahmn cracker toupe color with TONS of shimmer!
Like(s): I love the shimmer this shadow has as well as the great color payoff this pigment has. One swipe and your ready for the day! Additionally, I like the metallic effect this provides when applied over a cream or any kind of neutral powder eyeshadow.
Pros - Shimmer, color payoff, sheen
Dislike(s): I genuinely despise the packaging of this pigment! The little brush included is virtually the only way one can get product out; its very difficult to use your own brushes. Additionally, without a cream base or a primer underneath, get ready for tons of fall out!
Cons - Packaging, fall out
Tips & Tricks and Final Thoughts:
If you absolutely cannot stand the packaging, I suggest depoting your pigment! With a pair of metal pryers, carefully cut away at the bottom of the eyeshadow packaging. The small lid on the bottom of the shadow will eventually pop open revealing all the product! Just make sure you have a jar to put your pigment in after depotting.
In conclusion, I give this pigment four out of five stars. I really enjoy using it for its color, but I hate how much fall out it likes to unwelcomly provide as well as its packaging. Great for beginners.
