Tested colors:

1. In Love: shimmery pink.
2. Hot Havana: shimmery olive green.

Texture:

These eye shadows have a creamy texture that glides on effortlessly on the lids.

Smell:

These shadows are odorless.

Effect:

We applied the Hot Havana shadow on the lids, along with eyeliner and mascara, for a bold, evening look. It was just enough to create a head-turning effect on its own. You can also blend it out with a bit of shimmery beige at the inner corner of the eye to tone it down. Seeing that it has a highly-pigmented shimmery color, it is best to apply a minimal amount of it to your shadow brush.

These shadows lasted on the eyes for the whole night, approximately 8 hours, without having applied any eye primer, and did not fade at all due to their creamy texture that sticks to the lids. It took us around 3 cotton balls and eye makeup remover to remove these shadows and clean out the eyes thoroughly.

As for the In Love shadow, you can either wear it for a daytime look by applying it at the outer corner of the eye to add a pop of shimmer to your makeup look, or for an evening look by applying it to the whole eyelid. This shade will last you the entire day without fading out.

Price:

Each eye shadow from this collection retails singularly at 17 USD in Lebanon. Their price is similar to that of other single eye shadows such as the Inglot Jennifer Lopez Freedom System Eye Shadow which is sold at 16 USD, the Yves Rocher Botanical Color shadows at 14 USD each, as well as the Pupa Vamp Compact Eye Shadow at 17 USD.
