Review
First Impressions: Lets start at the beginning with the packaging of the box. This is pretty much your standard E.L.F. design, but with a twist. The layout of the packaging is the same, however they have chosen to change from their standard black/white to blue/white packaging for the Aqua Beauty line. I like the change, and I think the blue/white design really helps to differentiate between their normal line and the Aqua Beauty line. ***** Also, I really like their decision to package these eye shadows in a tube with a wand, rather than a pot. All around it makes it less messy, easier to apply with the wand, and to pack in my bag for travel. ***** |
Now, E.L.F. promotes these liquid eye shadows as having a vibrant and metallic finish. Looking at the product in the bottle, I would more or less agree with that statement. However, once I swatched the product on my hand, it had more of a shimmery and iridescent look rather than metallic. As well, once I blended out the shadow with my finger, the pigment mostly disappeared and all I was left with was a faint pink shimmer.

Wear:
According to the E.L.F. website, they say you can wear the liquid eyes shadow alone on the eyelids or as a primer for powder shadows. So, naturally I decided to this shadow both ways.
*****
Alone:
As I wanted to try this product on its own, I did not apply any sort of primer or base to my eyelids beforehand. On its own, the shadow applied like a normal liquid eye shadow would, wet but not runny. The wand transferred a nice amount of product in one to two swipes, and it looked really pigmented. Now, because it is a liquid eye shadow, I had to move quickly to blend and adjust the product before it dried. I found using my finger tip to blend out the product the best way, as when I used a blending brush too much of the product transferred to the brush and I had to reapply more of the eye shadow to get the pigmentation back. The eye shadow dried down with a few minutes, and so long as I did not overly blend out the product the rose colour remained apparent and beautiful.
For the price, I am definitely surprised how well this liquid eye shadow worked on its own.
