The second out of four e.l.f. shadows that I purchased a while back is Earthy, a spring green shimmer. I love this color of green and am attracted to it in almost any form - furnishings, paint colors, clothes, eyeshadows.....
Earthy is a soft color and you can see silver and pink shimmer bits in it, which gives it a hint of a glowing quality on the eye. The consistency was very nice and I found that it spread easily and smoothly, with minimal fall out. It wore well over primer, with very light creasing after a full day's wear. My lids are quite oily, so wear time may be even better for others.

The only other shadow I have that I could think of as a possible dupe was the bareMinerals Glimmer loose shadow Magnetize, which I picked up several years ago. However, once I put them side by side it was evident that Magnetize has much more yellow in it, making Earthy look positively minty in comparison. Comparisons like these really help me to get a better since of undertones and color families, as I would not have though of Earthy as "minty" prior to this.

I really like e.l.f.'s Earthy and think the quality is there. Factor in that it is so inexpensive at $3, and you've got quality + inexpensive = winner!
