Today's Blog is going to be on one of Maybelline's recent Spring 201 collection launch called "Modern Metallic". Which features some new eyeshadow single shades like "Copper Craze", "Golden Halo" and their new eyeshadow duo designs and color called "Sun kissed Olive"( Which I have a ton of bad stuff to say).
What I bought?
- Golden Halo (Single)
- Copper Craze (Single)
- Sun Kissed Olive
(Duo)
Reviews:
Golden Halo: I really love this color!!!! It's an eye popping, highly pigmented, velvety smooth Metallic Gold eyeshadow color. It's a little difficult to describe the shade of this gold as its nothing I've ever really seen in drugstore brands, but all I can say is this color speaks for itself. This color is a MUST have for spring!!
- Pros: Last all day, highly pigmented, doesn't crease, blends well, texture is like velvet, no fallout
- Cons: None I can think of.
Copper Craze: A color I highly recommend for blue eyed and brown eyes ladies of any skin tone. This color really works really well with "Golden Halo" if you apply "Copper Craze" in the crease. I'm not super crazy about this color, but I don't hate it either. For me it comes off kinda dull and blends into my skintone too well. When it comes to copper I'm a bit iffy cause how you apply it can either make or break your look. However, I still recommend this color and for everyone to play around with it. It think this color can also be used for a great coppery summer smokey eye look.
- Pros: Last all day, highly pigmented, doesn't crease, blends well, texture is like velvet, no fallout.
- Cons: None
Sun kissed Olive: Lastly, I have some things I need to say about this eyeshadow duo before I get started. Not to get political and get into economics, but I know in the U.S we are still going through a recession and everything, but Maybelline did not have to go there with there eyeshadow duos and Quads. Why in the world would you make one eyeshadow pan bigger than the other? I mean the design is cute, but I feel like I'm being ripped off a little! I have honestly never seen a design like this in my whole entire life. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm very open to that. Anyway on to the review. Besides the packaging I don't like this eyeshadow palette. The colors look great inside the package, but when swatched it doesn't come off as strong as some of the other colors. Some of Maybelline's products are a hit and miss, but this color is a miss! I had to wet the applicator in order to get come color payoff, Other than that you get more shimmer than color. This palette really is a shame and it would have been great if not for the pigmentation.
Pros: Colors are beautiful
Cons: The pans are a ripoff, the texture is a little rough, no color payoff/ NOT highly pigmented, more shimmer than color.
From Left to right: "Golden Halo", "Copper Craze", and "Sunkissed Olive.
For some reason the dark green color is showing up mocha like and the light green was not picking up at all.
