ELF $1 Eyeshadow in Drama: Review and Swatches.

Hello Everyone...

Did I ever mention about ELF products?? This brand, stands for Eyes Lips Face, is a famous for delivering low price, good quality products. It is mainly sold online and available in many countries but mostly operates from UK. With its innumerable products from eye shadows to brushes to customized pans, the brand has been able to capture many hearts with both the decent quality and the cheap prices  that range from $1-8.

Today I am going to review about ELF's $ 1 eyeshadow in Drama. This has been a raved product among many you tube gurus and a best seller on the ELF site. I have heard so much about it, and with a price tag of only $ 1( 200bdt), I decided to give it a try.

About the product:

 

Luxuriously smooth, pigmented formula provides your eyes with a bright and beautiful sweep of rich color. The formula blends into skin for a long lasting, beautiful effect. Each quad is comprised of 4 coordinating shades that allow for both natural and dramatic looks. Built-in mirror and applicator included. 

My thought on the product:

This  is an ideal palette for the new makeup learners. With a fraction of price, there are four shades~ a plane powdery white shade, a glittery silver shade, a black and a glittery silver shades. In simple words,the palette screams basic smoky eyes.

The packaging looks cheap with plastic transparent cover, but comparing to price, the packaging is quite good.  The shades come in four triangular shaped tin attached to the surface of the palette. It also comes with an eyeshadow wind a small mirror, both are quite useless!

The quality is also decent compared to price. The white shade is very powdery to touch but as a highlight it works very good. The dark silver shade sort of looks like black on the pan, but when looked carefully and swatches,  it gives a dark silver shade with a lot of glitter on it. The black shade is pretty decent black but not the darkest black that I like. Finally the fourth is, almost transparent, glittery silver shade, which hardly shows on the lids nor when swatches except a line of pure glitters. All these shades have fall outs which is very disappointing at times. 

Pros:

• All in one smoky eye kit for the beginners.
• The colors are synchronized well.
• Color payoff is pretty decent.
• Affordable price.
• Small in size therefore, easy for travel.

Cons:

• Not available in Bangladesh therefore has to buy this products through other outsourcing pages who sell.
• The shades are mostly glittery with only one matte shade.
• The shades have fall out like crazy and the glitters spread all over the eyelids.
• The darkest color on the pan are not as dark as I have hoped for.

 Rating:

Overall, I believe this eyeshadow palette is a good and easy way of getting a quick smoky eyes and for the price, I think it is a must have!! Do I recommend it?? Yes off course I do. This is one of those cost effective palattes that saves you when you have no time but want to look classic and smoky...:D

With Love, Tania
