other products were bought in watsons, mac counters, & healthy options =)

review: revlon matte eyeshadow in "vintage lace"

PROS:
*affordable since it's a drugstore brand
*creamy texture ( not unlike mac e/s)
*very pigmented
*true matte finish
*very neutral and perfect as a highlight color
*highly available ( i got mine in watsons)

CONS:
*the plastic pan is excruciatingly cheap
*the sponge tip applicator is even more so
*there's only a smatter of color to chose from

i didn't get all the colors because i can't seem to work with matte finishes, but i picked this up because i think vintage lace is the perfect highlight color. it's always wise to go for matte colors when highlighting the browbone, especially when using shimmery shadows on the lid.
