Minesweeper 1 - Cover girl Smokey Shadow Blast

I got these two eyeshadow sticks from clearance section at Priceline. I was curious because as I remembered, this product just came up last year and it is relatively 'new''.



Why I don't like these eye shadow sticks?
- They crease! Even if you use a paintpot/ eye primer underneath and set the product with powder eye shadow, it does not help and they still crease.
- The black and white one has very poor pigmentation!

    They're so pretty :(

    But yeah, I heard from a few others they weren't that good either. I was going to pre-order one before they came out but I'm glad I never did ><

    They look so pretty! Sadly they are crap... but lucky you got them at clearance and not at full price than find out it was crap. But still... they look sooo pretty swatches~!!
