Beauty Product Reviews

Eden..eden..

Eden is my other go-to base for my eyeshadows. I do love the shade and the fact that it is not clear like the original, and I believe it works well. My only issue with the product is the packaging! It's really the outside of the container that is throwing me for a loop, and I hope it was just mine that did this...

I had it in my regular makeup bag, with a few other items but it was by no means jammed in there. After only handling it a few times, I noticed the outer layering of the packaging began flaking off..and at one point there was a huge crack in the bottom of the bottle that just fell off! So, because of the hole..it dried out my P.P. and make it all cake-y and mostly unusable.

Because I DO like the product, I may try purchasing it again. I was just so upset about my packaging literally falling to pieces and cracking when I barely handled it!

My Go-to

Painterly is my go-to base for almost every single eye-shadow application. The shade is slightly lighter than my natural face coloring, and I've never had issues with it creasing on me during the day. The other plus is I never use that much during application, and almost never waste any, and the packaging is nice (compared to U.D.P.P.'s bottle..) This is one of my every day products.

Absolutely fantastic.

I really must say that this palette was a hassle to get a hold of, but I'm glad I didn't hesitate on the purchase! All the neutral shades are incredibly wearable and very pigmented. The only one I sometimes have trouble with is Virgin (the very first color, which I usually only use as a highlight anyway) which seems slightly chalky if you were to use it over the entire lid. Other than that, this palette is well worth the money, in both value and quality IMO, especially since you can do so much with the large range of colors.
