My husband has a saying, "you buy a $5 shirt, you get a $5 shirt". That kind of sums up how I feel about a lot of super cheap drug store makeup. I paid $1 for this e.l.f. Pink Ice so needless to say, I didn't expect much. I had never tried e.l.f. eye shadow, so for $1 I thought I would try it for s & g's. You know, for kicks...
Here is a swatch with the flash on. I apologize for the crumbly picture above of the pan. The product can be crumbly. First of all, this eye shadow is a $1 so there are only so many negative things that I can say about it. Advantages first. It's $1. It is very long lasting which shocked me. It's still on and hasn't faded 16+ hours after application. It applies well and blends ok. It comes off very easily with makeup remover despite it's staying power which is odd but a good thing.
Disadvantages. It's quite chalky and looks matte on even though it's a satin. It's doesn't have a nice texture. Doesn't look very nice on. The ingredients are horrible! Mineral Oil is the first ingredient and it has a couple of parabens. Yuck!
Here is a picture without the flash. Looks chalky, no? So that's all I have to say about this elf eye shadow. I consider my purchase of this product as an educational exercise. I do like to try a lot of makeup, drug store or high end. I will not be buying another elf eye shadow. Curiosity satisfied.
