Essence - Metal Shock - Eyeshadow - 01 Solar Explosion

This is a glittery gold cream eye shadow.

You can apply it with the doe foot applicator to get a kind of foil look, or buff it out to get more of a dispersed glitter look.

I really love this, it isn't too over the top but adds some glitz to a look.

No mascara or eyeliner.

I wore it for New Year's Eve with a dark lip. <3
And it didn't crease up, and I am oil!

Price: 4.5/5 ($5.28 for 3.5mL)
Scent: 2/5 (a little plastic-like)
Effectiveness: 4/5

The Body Shop - Eyeshadow Brush

Given the bristle density, this is a good brush for cream eyeshadows or when you want to pack colour on.

It is pretty easy to clean and no bristles have fallen out of it.

I'd love to know more about what the handle is made from.
Is it recycled plastic? If not, the price is not worth it.

Price: 2.5/5 ($19)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Rimmel - Magnif'eyes - Glameyes Mono Eyeshadow - Q-Jump

I didn't get this to use as an eye shadow, I got it to use as a highlight.

Swatch!

There are very few highlights available in stores that will actually be light enough for me.
So white eye shadow is a better bet.

Check out that highlight!

This is a shimmery white shadow with really poor colour payoff.

I applied it with a kabuki brush (which is a big brush) and it worked great!

But never EVER use this as an eye shadow, it will be more disappointing than you can ever imagine.

Price: 4/5 ($10.95 for 3.5g)
New Name: Money Shot
Effectiveness: 0/5 (as an eyeshadow), 2/5 (as a highlight)

Austrais - Metallix Cream Eyeshadow - Guns and Rose Petals

Liquid metal eyeshadows are so hot right now, and this gives the desired effect!

It claims to be a rose gold, but is really more of a gold.
It looks like a foil on the skin, which is lovely.

However, it does crease a lot on me and shifts, but if you have less oily skin than me then it may sit still for you.
Cream eyeshadows are not my friends

Also, it is best to apply it with a finger. I couldn't pick any of the product with a (Ecotools) brush.

Price: 3/5 ($9.49 for one)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)
Effectiveness: 4/5

NYX - Baked Eyeshadow - Supernova

I love gold eyeshadow, so this was a great thing to get in a Bellabox.

This has THE CUTEST packaging! A little clear topped box, lined with black, and a black bow!
It is also well made and wont break up in a makeup bag.

For a light colour, the colour intensity is really good. I love the shimmer in it!

There is also a lot of product in this, so you definitely get your money's worth.

I am so impressed with this product! This is a great choice for a go-to shade to be kept in your bag if you want to add to your look.

Price: 4/5 ($9.95 for 3g)
Effectiveness: 5/5
