First off let me start off by saying, Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I hope you are all having a good turkey day. Now lets get straight down to business. This morning I tried out several of my new e.l.f. products, one of those obviously being my new baked eyeshadow palette, if you read my haul post I said that I purchased the California palette.
DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!
The colors in the palette are very beautiful, in the pan. For the life of me I could not figure out HOW to get this eyeshadow to stick to my eye. I used a primer, I tried wetting my brush and applying them. Nothing, absolutely nothing. The lightest eyeshadows wouldn't even show anything but glitter on my skin; the dark shadows had NO pigmentation what so ever. The mauvy color looked like a fading bruise on my lower lash line, and I couldn't even use a smudge brush to pack the color on. I have used some extremely cheap eyeshadows before, my favorite palette through out high school was an 88 costal scents palette (which never gave me problems
)!! I don't know if i need to use a base color, like a maybelline 24 hour tattoo pots, or mac paint pots, or if I should give it away.
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of e.l.f. products I have that I love. I have some of their loose eyeshadows, and never had a problem with them, maybe it's that these are baked, but I don't like it. I will give this a few more tries and see what happens with it. I am just really disappointed especially since it was the most expensive thing I purchased ($10) and so far the worst. I couldn't even build up a good enough swatch for a picture to show you guys.
