Beauty Guru Review:Cover Girl Smoky Shadow Blast

Michelle, The Fierce Glamour

As a guru, I'm always super excited to try our new products. This month it was Cover Girl's Smoky Shadow Blast in Purple Plume. I was suprised to see that it was a cream shadow and a stick. Who knew that combination could happen! I've used cream shadows before and it hasn't been a pleasant experience. So I decided that I would start anew with this Smoky Shadow. I even took it on my honeymoon. Its been to the Bahamas and back!



I opened the package, carefully read the directions, and studied the tube. (Does anyone else ever read the directions on makeup?)

Easy enough, its even labeled step one and step two.

Pros:
1) Its easy to apply. The stick allows quick swipage, which is helpful during a running late morning.
2) Its small, so it wouldn't take up much room in your purse.
3) The step labels make it almost foolproof to screw up. (almost)

I'm just not a cream eyeshadow girl, even after Cover Girl Smoky Shadow Blast.

Cons:
1)After a few hours of wear, it creased on my lid.
2)The color wasn't dark enough from the get go and then would fade to almost nothing by the end of the day.
3)The most uncomfortable part was it felt like I had something on my eye lid. I could actually feel it on my lid.

Certainly didn't look like it does on Drew on my eyes!

While the packaging is eyecatching, and the application is easy, its just not my kinda shadow. I'll stick to my brush applied powder shadow.

If your a cream user, you should try it. At $8.49 (walgreens.com-buy one, get one 50% off!) it won't break your wallet!
