Favorites: I absolutely love wearing Cat's Meow or S06 on my crease. I've already hit pan, but good thing I have a backup. =)
Skip: Aurora is a light wash of pink with chunks of glitter. It is blendable, but the glitter gets all over your face.
ME12 also has lots of glitter. I would definitely skip it because I have trouble applying it and blending it.
Dupes: Perky and Sushi Flower are not dupes. Perky has a more coral undertone, while Sushi Flower has a more hot pink undertone.
Cat's Meow and Fuchsia look very similar in the picture. However, Cat's Meow is a true pink, while Fuchsia is a more hot pink color.
Note: Violet looks a little bit yucky in the picture because I spilled some water on it. That's what happens when moisture gets on the eyeshadows; therefore, I don't recommend swatching using your fingers because of the natural oils that your hands produce.
Mac Eyeshadows in pan form cost $11.00 for 1.5 grams (some of the eyeshadows have 1.3 grams) and cost $16 in pots. Stars Makeup Haven eyeshadows cost $6.00 for 1.3 grams. Coastal Scents eyeshadows cost $1.95 for 1.5 grams. The empty 28 pan palette can be purchased from Coastal Scents for $9.95.
What are your favorite pink and purple eyeshadows?

ReplyDeleteHi Joyce: I hope you are getting commission from advertisers? You seem have a few fans. As you grow your blog, be sure to get compensating for your hard work!!! Who says hard work doesn't pay off? :)...Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am in the middle of starting my own cosmetic biz but there are so many brands outthere--not sure who to use. I love Coastal scents (decent product @ affordable prices). I've always loved make up but I keep it on the natural side for my hubby. I'll try to check your blog more often. Good Luck!
