Another thing I love about receiving items in subscription boxes is that often the colors are not ones I would have gravitated towards on my own, but that I end up loving. Such is the case with this gray duo, both of which feature a matte finish (I'd say they look more satin). The darker Smokey Quartz has great pigmentation, applies smoothly, and blends out easily while still maintaining intensity. The lighter Twilight was also lovely to work with and made for a great base shade.
Twilight, Smokey Quartz |
In this one, I used a grayish green cream shadow from Sula Beauty called Big Flirt (review here) as the base, which has a nice silver sparkle to it. It gave the overall look a slightly greenish cast.
The shadow formula is quite interesting:
- Zinc: Natural UVA & UVB protection. Protects against free radical damage.
- Broccoli Seed: Rich in Vitamin A & Essential Fatty Acids, Moisturizing.
- Orange Peel Wax: Excellent emollient properties, provides a protective barrier for skin, anti-microbial.
- Lecithin: Rebuilding, restorative agent. Supplies Vitamin B and reduces cholesterol build-up in the skin.
- Jojoba: Nourishing and hydrating.
- Allantoin: Stimulates new and healthy tissue growth, a skin cell proliferant.
$12 isn't a bad price for some gorgeous, all natural shadows! Thanks for sharing! I had never heard of this brand before!!!
