For those of you that follow the beauty blogs, I'm sure you've seen this product mentioned dozens of times. It's become one of those products that I have yet to hear anything bad about. The most popular color around the blogs is the one I have shown, Bad to the Bronze or I think in the UK it is called On and On Bronze. I was a little skeptical of this product, considering I haven't worn cream based eyeshadows since jr. high. After hearing SO MUCH praise about this product, I figured I'd give it a go.
First impression: It came out of the pot smooth and sheer. It was extremely blendable but dried almost immediately... which I liked about it; it was workable, but not overly creamy. Because I have dark eyes and a light complexion, dark eyeshadows look extremely harsh on me... I know it isn't a VERY dark color, but I was a little worried that this would be too dark for me... but No Ma'am it was thankfully very flattering.
In my excitement over this product, I bought two additional colors. I'm not sure if the formula is just different on those two or what... but they definitely are a little harder to work with. I purchased the colors Barely Branded and Too Cool. It may have just been the one I bought, but my Barely Branded is so much creamier than my Bad to the Bronze. I used the same amount of product and it just went everywhere!! I'm doing better with it now, but I have to barely touch it to get the right amount. The Too Cool I have doesn't spread as well as the Bad to the Bronze. It's extremely dry immediately after applying and therefore is a little difficult to work with.
In Summary: In my experience these products have been very inconsistent in their formulation. Yes, the Bad to the Bronze is a favorite, but the other two I have are alright. They are a little more difficult or at least different to work with.
Price: Around $5... depending on where you find them. Look for sales. Drugstore.com often does buy one get one 1/2 off.
Would I repurchase? I would repurchase Bad to the Bronze, but hopefully this one will last me a good while.
