I received Cover Girl Eye shadow quad in Drama Eyes a few weeks ago, with a quarter of the white shadow chipped off. There was white powder everywhere and although I could clean up the damage, there was still traces of the broken shadow bits all over the palette. Yet again, a testament of how crappy the packing skills of drugstore.com (where I bought the quad from).
Bad packing aside, I have grown to really love Cover Girl. I haven't tried many stuff from them, but I enjoy using their shadows (singles and palettes) and absolutely adore their Cheekers Blush.
I bought Drama Eyes for that Burgundy colour.
I wanted a typical smokey eye palette but use it for daytime wear - not so smokey, not intense, and not boring. That burgundy shade made it possible! This palette has great colour pay-off! Cover Girl, over the years, has up their game and improved the formulation of their products. Their eye shadows at least, are a joy to use!I also found great use for the too-dark ELF Hydro-tint foundation (Tone 3). I mixed it with my lighter foundations and it changed the colour, but not the coverage, which is perfect!

how do you find the Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadow? i wanted to get it but I read that it creases :(
Selamat Berpuasa! If you're berpuasa-ing :)
Hi Connie! I like the Revlon cream shadows as a shadow base better than the NYX jumbo eye pencils. I use very little and pat to get the extra moisture out so I get almost no creasing under my powder shadows. Of course the best cream bases are MAC's paint pots, but I can't afford to buy tons of those... although I'd like to! ;)
lolz love to read ur reviews on the products~
just came to say "selamat berpuasa" =]

Hi Nia! Unfortunately the Revlon Cream Blush is not available in Malaysia, I got it frm drugstore.com. It's true red but comes out quite sheer on my cheeks so you don't end up looking like a clown. Plus it's super blendable! I might get more, we'll see.
