So chocolate has been concerning my rescue.
Chocolate’s from Revlon’s long-wearing Crème Eyeshadow line, as well as if you haven’t tried these potted shadows before, you gotta get on that. They’re like the MAC paint Pots, however cheaper, as well as somewhat creamier.
Granted, they’re less pigmented than the paint Pots, however I believe that’s one of their selling points since that sheerness makes it simpler to blend out the edges.
