Since the High Impact Eye Colour shadows retail for 5,99€ a pop, I figured 3 of them wouldn’t be as bad. ‘Mine!’, I screamed internally and threw it in my shopping bag. Think of MAC’s “Cranberry” or Maybelline’s Color Tattoo in “Pomegranate Punk”. And then I saw it…it was too good to be true. Since I was planning on creating a certain look, I chose a cobalt blue (“Blueprint”) with a satin finish and a matte brown with warm undertones (“Gingerbread”) for the crease. From true mattes, to pearlized and extremely shimmery metallics there’s definitely a shade for you. The selection was amazing! It took me forever to choose between the stunning shades that were before me. The shade I got was “Into the Blue” (wasn’t that a movie?) Swatches L-R: “Into the Blue” pencil, “Blueprint” eyeshadow, “Gingerbread” eyeshadow. It costs 4,99€, which is very reasonable. The Colour Essence Eye Pencil is very smooth, it doesn’t tug on the eyes, it glides easily and you’ll be happy to hear that it stays on the waterline beautifully. It works on my hazel eyes too, I checked. I don’t have brown eyes, but many people do. I chose a bright blue one, because I really enjoy the contrast between a bright blue liner and brown eyes. I will start the makeup tour with the most affordable of the lot, the pencil eyeliner. It’s ok though… I used some of my trusty 15% off coupons (check out H&M’s policy on recycling old clothes here) and the total was under 50€ for a whole bunch of goodies. If you follow me on instagram (which by the way, if you’re not I have no idea how you came across my blog) I went a bit crazy while at H&M and ended up with this… But, recently, they decided to step up their game and launch a serious line of cosmetics, ranging from lipsticks to…solid perfume. I do admit, I have been shopping their older versions of body mists and perfumes, because they were always too cute and too affordable. H&M is one of the biggest corporations in clothing and fashion (let’s not forget that their recent colaboration was with Balmain) and it had been making efforts to branch out and add makeup and beauty products to her arsenal. Thank the higher powers for drugstore makeup! Taking a trip to the mall has never been so fun before.
