Hi Everyone!

My mom bought me this eye shadow palette from Target and was so excited to see what it had to offer. Like most of the eyeslipsface products they are very low in price and has decent quality. I must say I was a bit disappointed with some of the colors in this palette, even with eye shadow primer below it still is not very long wearing. This is not the case for all the colors in the palette, I was most impressed with the teal color (first row; 3rd) it had the longest staying power with a primer. My least favorite was the very first color in the palette, it was unbelievably chalky! It  fades in no time. All eye shadows are shimmer. 


On to the creamy eye shadows (4th row to the right), they are not as creamy as I would like, they have little silver shimmer in them. What I like about this is the long wear it provides, colors are not as vibrant but they do the job and for the price you can't expect more than what you paid for. 


The pencil liner is GREAT, very black, very soft, easy to apply. It also comes with a sponge applicator, that I did not use to apply the makeup. Below are swatches of the eye shadows, both pressed and creamy.They do not have individual names.
