Wild and Crazy Eyeshadow Review

 

Sorry I’ve been a MIA for a while, but I joined some classes last week and it’s been keeping me busy.

So, I wanted to review the Wild and Crazy e/s singles from my cherryculture haul. When I first saw these on cherryculture, I’d never heard of them. But they were only $2 (Rs. 88/-) and it was one of their Insider Picks. So I thought I’d try them. I only got 3 becuase I didn’t want to buy too many and then be stuck with crappy eyeshadows if I didn’t like them.  But these give great color pay-off for the price and I wished I’d ordered some more.

Price: $2 for 1.5 g/0.5 oz

Here are the pics with the swatches from the cherryculture.com website:

The Good:

• Very Pigmented. For the price, I was quite surprised how pigmented the colors were.
• Really cheap.
• I find the pots really cute. Its got a screw-on lid with a transparent window, so I can see the color.
• The texture is really smooth, almost silky.
• They have quite a wide selection of colors. Cherryculture has them in 68 shades.
• Quite long lasting. I had it on for an entire day with no fading.
• Blends well.

The Bad:

• It has a bit of a fallout. Not too much. But for the price, I think its okay.
• The shimmer was very subtle on the colors I got. But I saw after I’d done my eye makeup that there were tiny shimmer particles around my eyes.
• The swatches on the website are not true to the colors. So its going to be a lot of hits and misses. You could google for swatches, but there’s not that many.

Recommend: Definitely. Especially if you’re a beginner, you can buy these and experiment with colors.

Will I Buy Again: I’ve already picked out the shades for my next order. These are pretty good for the price. Affordable enough for me to experiment.

Availability: You can order from these sites:

My CherryCulture Haul

I’m so excited. My order from CherryCulture just arrived and I’m super excited to try them all.

I didn’t order much because this is the first time that I’m ordering online and I wasn’t so sure about it. But now I’ve this really long list of items to buy from CherryCulture. I have a self imposed shopping ban for October, so I’m going to place the order in November.

Here are the pics of what i bought:

These are the lippies I bought:

NYX Round Lipstick in Fig - $2.25

NYX Round Lip Gloss in Cafe Latte - $2.00

Jordana Lipstick in Almond - $1.49

Wild and Crazy Eyeshadow singles in Angelic Pink, Spring Overture, and Sweet Deal (clockwise from top-left) - $2.00 each

 

LA Colors Eyeshadow singles in Onyx, Delight and Silver Streak (from left).  -  $1.99 each (I got one free in the B2G1 free offer)

NYX Single Eyeshadows in Beauty Queen and Taupe - $3.50 each

Jordana Powder Blush in Sandalwood – $1.99 each

NYX Concealer in a Jar in Medium - $5.00

NYX Long Pencil Eyeliner in Black and Dark Brown - $2.00 ( I got one free in the B1G1 free offer)

I’d wanted the Jumbo pencils too but I completely forgot to order those. Next time though. :P

The shipping came to $12.50. Which isn’t bad considering it would have cost be double if I’d bought these from India.

I’m really impressed with CherryCulture. I took the cheapest shipping option and my order arrived in 8 days. Everything was bubble wrapped nicely and none of the items were damaged.

I can’t wait to order again.
