On my last TJ Maxx trip one of the things I picked up was a 6 shadow palette from E.L.F. One thing about TJ Maxx is that if you don't get it as soon as you see it, it probably won't be there tomorrow.
This is a smokey eyeshadow palette that is part of the 'Class of 2014' themed cosmetics from E.L.F. I think the theme means that these are some of the top eyeshadow colors for this year,
You can tell in the picture the black shadow has glitter. The other shades also are glittery/shimmery but not as much as the black. The swatches below are over Wet n Wild Fergie Primer. The picture on the right is taken with a flash to show the shimmer/glitter.
The white and tan shadows are good base or highlighting shadows. They go on very smooth. One brush stroke was all that was needed to swatch it. Sometimes with E.L.F. Shadows they are dry and patchy. I have to keep going over it to build up any color. These 2 shadows were not like that at all. They went on even with great color.
The pink and the charcoal grey also had great color payoff and consistency. They were smooth with no fallout when I swatched it on my arm. I love the eyeshadow combination of pink and grey. That's actually the main reason I got this palette. These 2 shadows didn't let me down in consistency or color.
The last 2 shadows were a plum and black. The plum was the most matte of all the shades and the black had the most stand out glitter. But unfortunately the plum was also the dry and patchy shadow consistency that I mentioned before. I had to go over the swatch 3 times to even it out.
The black shadow had nice consistency and color payoff as the other 4 shadows. I liked that there was no huge glitter fallout even though this shadow had the most concentration of glitter in it.
For $2.99 I think this is a great portable palette. It has very useable colors and fits easily in my purse for touch ups throughout the day. Check out T.J. Maxx to see their selection of E.L.F. And other cosmetics.
