elf: 32 Piece Warm Eyeshadow Palette

Lately, my passion has been for palettes. Lots and lots of palettes! Even though I have several elf palettes, this one is a newer one. It has all these soft and bright shades, I had to get it…

This palette ranges from powder pinks to yellow golds and to bright purples…

These amazed me because they look really good! I always feel the need to let the person who is getting my business card that I took the photos.

Maybe you would be more interested in some swatches. I did just a few to test the pigmentation and the texture…

I didn’t find the product to be powdery however, the pigment seems to be on the weak side. Probably a shadow primer would brighten the intensity. When I used my makeup brushes to apply it on my eyelids, I was able to build it up reasonably. These are not as vivid as some of the other elf shadows I have, yet I am in no way disappointed with this palette.

Is there anyone else who obsesses like I do over makeup palettes?

More Photos on the Sinful Colors Makeup Display

A couple of days ago, I posted about Sinful Colors spreading their wings into cosmetics. Here are more photos of the sidekick display found at Walgreens…

Note how on the third shelf the pots of loose glitter are turned the wrong way. Before I left, I had them turned correctly. It’s hard, for me as a professional merchandiser, not to merchandise other people’s products. What a perfect job for someone that likes things orderly.

Seriously, my phone camera takes better photos than these. I was being paranoid about taking these photos. And normally, I’m not. However, I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to share these with my readers.

Anyone try those shadows out?
