Product Review: ELF's Day and Night 80 Eyeshadow Palette...Only $10 @ Target

   Hola! Soooo if I've never made it known before, I am in love with E.L.F. products. For those of you who aren't familiar with ELF, you all need to get with the program! ELF- Eyes Lips Face, is an EXTREMELY affordable cosmetic brand. I dare not call them cheap because the quality of their products are great considering how..well cheap they are. lol When I say cheap, I'm talking as low as $1-3 for quality products like brushes (which they are probably most popular for) , primers, blushes, anything you need to beat your face. So, as a cheapy, I adore the brand. However, I must say that I wasn't a fan of their eyeshadows.

   Around Christmas of last yr, I purchased ELF's 144 bright eyeshadow palette.While the colors were very pretty, some of the shadows didn't have very good pigmentation. I'd usually have to pack on an eyeshadow base/primer & the shadow very heavily before it appeared opaque enough for my liking. Don't get me wrong, sheer color can be beautiful, but I like my color to pop and stand out; and, this palette didn't do it for me. So, I stopped buying ELF's shadows

.

   Wandering around the cosmetic section in Target a few does ago, I came across this- ELF's 80 Day and Night eyeshadow palette in a very cute and sheek black case. Leary, but noticing the pretty browns and this gorgeous teal, for $10, I couldn't resist grabbing it. When I got home, I immediately started swatching (testing colors on the back of my hand and fingertips). To my surprise, this palette had great pigmentation. I'm thinking some colors are intended to be more sheer than others for blending, which they do pretty well. As you can see, half the palette consists of neutral colors and browns, both matte and shimmers. The other half, some soft and rich pinks, blues, green & purples. And, of course my fave color teal (which I'm wearing below). Overall, for &10 this palette is the bomb dot com! lol
