BEST silver eyeshadow EVER!!!

Yes, it looks beat up because it rolls about in my makeup bag!


For Tribe Carnival 2010, my costume was silver and i was searching for a SILVER eyeshadow to wear. Then i came across Platinum by L'oreal. They don't kid when they say "HIP-High Intensity Pigment"!!! It is SILVER, not metallic grey, not grey, not pewter....SILVER!
It comes with a matte black with a tiny amount of silver glitter sparles (which doesn't really show up) :s
The packaging is cute!! It comes with a sponge applicator (which i find does nothing)....but it opens at the bottom where you find the sponge applicator and a mirror :D
Not only is it extremely pigmented...it doesn't crease and it lasted me the ENTIRE day from 6am-9pm carnival monday & tuesday (for US and other citizens, that's 2 days in hot, blazing sun...lots of sweat and a whole lot of running all over the road). I couldn't believe it didn't fade!! I wouldn't really use the black that comes with it just because i don't find it's as smooth as the silver and it doesn't go on as pigmented.
It's available all over the US for about $8usd and in Trinidad in Superpharm for about $55ttd (i think).

I have tried the L'Oreal HIP eyeshadows in Saucy (which i HATED because the darker brown had so much fall out i didn't think anything went on my eye!!) and Flashy (which i love the look and colour off, even though you need to build the colour of the blue...and it sort of fades after a while) but the BEST is Platinum!!
It is SILVER, doesn't fade, doesn't crease, stays on all day, highly pigmented and it pops!!!!

Just thought i would share this with you. It's great for smokey eye and for CARNIVAL 2k11!!!!!
