We have all wished for a long lasting eye shadow and gladly, a makeup genie brought one.  Primers are there to help too, but sometimes, we can't really prevent the creasing.  Maybelline formulated these paint pots that promise 24 hour color.  Wow.

Let's take a look, shall we? :)


We got these from U.S., not yet available here in Manila.  We still have one piece left and it's on sale!!!  400 pesos only so, get it now!  Visit our shop here.  :)

I'll be sharing you two shades, purple and pomegranate. (I think they have 9)


Let's start with the packaging.  I like it. It's compact and makes you see the color instantly.  Thumbs up for that!

What you see is what you get, very true for these lovely paint pots.  The color is very pigmented. It has a soft texture and creamy consistency.


The colors are very gorgeous.  From the metallic like gold and bronze to the bold colors like emerald and teal.  I tried wearing the Pomegranate Punk last week.  Here are the photos.

Even if the color is vibrant and bold, it is still buildable.  You can also put on powder eye shadow to intensify the look even more.

One drawback would be the blending part.  Although the product can be transferred easily, it so difficult to blend and even it out.  So sad.  Most likely, you will end up with a very messy application.  Using your finger to put it on can help, but still, you would need some time to smoothen the color.  You must use light strokes.  Maybe patting it on with a flat brush can make it a bit easier too.





Now, here's the photo after approximately 13 hours.  (Yuck, my eye bags would like to say hello again.)
True enough, it survived half a day!  It didn't crease and the color was still there.  Well, I don't have oily eyelids or anything like that, but still, it's amazing.  No wonder it got high ratings and positive reviews from other websites and blogs.

Here's the Painted Purple shade.  It's tempting me to create a makeup video.  *lightbulb
