Pop Beauty Bright Up Your Life Eye Shadow Trio - Sugar Plum


















The three color combination palette is perfect for creating  a smoky eye. The eyeshadow promises to be long lasting and long wearing but I notice my eyes creasing and the color fading after an hour or two of use (even with a primer). The color itself came off as soft wash color instead of being strong and bold like many other makeup brands like Nars, Urban Decay, etc. The palette is more affordable, of course, but the color payout wasn't there for me.

Global Goddess i-Divine Eyecolor - Darjeeling











The highly pigmented eyeshadow is infused with white tea extracts to firm the areas around the eyes. The long lasting eyeshadow promises to have a silky application and to be crease proof. However, I found it to be the exact opposite. The formula didn't last very long even with a primer and it creased like crazy. Silky application? Hardly, felt like chalk on my fingertips. The brown color looks lovely in the package but was rather tawny and had a dull coffee color.

Urban Decay Ammo Palette
































I had bought this palette almost two years ago but forgot to post the photos. As you can tell I am really on top of things! :)

Here is the description from UD -
Smog (deep coppery bronze shimmer)
Mildew (mossy green shimmer w/gold shift)
Oil Slick (black matte w/silver micro-glitter)
Last Call (metallic plum)
Chopper (copper shimmer w/silver micro-glitter)
Maui Wowie (metallic golden beige w/silver glitter)
Shattered (turquoise shimmer w/gold shift)
Polyester Bride (white snow shimmer w/silver micro-glitter)
Grifter (sheer lavender shimmer w/silver micro-glitter)
Sin (champagne shimmer)

Most of the colors had a good color payout and lasted a couple of hours with a primer. Although, my eyes did crease but very rarely my eyeshadow don't crease no matter what primer or eyeshadow I use. Some of the eyeshadows with the micro glitter was a bit coarse and hard to blend [I am looking at you Oil Slick] or a smudging nightmare [it went everywhere..] Overall, the palette is definitely worth the $16 as that cost less than a single full size UD eyeshadow.
