My Take On This Product:

This range of Intense Eye shadows have been launched very recently.I wouldn't have know anything about it, if I had not seen these beauties at Cynthia's blog first.These shadows look very cute, attractive and come with a mirror too.These are baked shadows and come in little pot like packaging with a magnetic lock which makes opening and closing of the pot very convenient.Its damn travel friendly too.Though the quantity is only 1 Gm, Its going to last me for a long time.I have used it 6-7 times and it hardly looks used.

These shadows are baked but unlike other baked eye shadows, you wont need sponge applicators to use it.The texture of the shadow is very soft and quite smooth.Just one swipe with your eye shadow brush is more than enough for your entire lid.Its the most pigmented eye shadow I have ever seen or used.I lightly swatched it on my hands and was impressed with it pigmentation.You would hardly need a second swipe when you are using this.Whenever I pick up the shadow with my eye shadow brush I have seen it sort of becomes powdery leading to wastage of product.So now I am very careful while picking it up as quantity is only 1Gm :p 

The shade number 8 is a pretty warm light brown color with very fine golden shimmer.This shadow has pearl finish and shimmers are hardly visible on my eyes, thus making it very much wearable.This shade is so unique that you can incorporate in your daily neutral eye make up, Wedding eye make up, Bridal Make up, and even while creating smokey eyes.Recently when my colleagues saw this shadow, they were more than amazed and wished to purchase this shade too. :p I felt like a personal achievement. :p

 

This eye shadow is one of the long staying eye shadows I have ever come across with.Without a primer it stays on my eyes for 5hours or so with minimal creasing towards the end.With a primer I saw it stayed for 8 hours with no crease and after that i had to remove my makeup of course.

So from my side product is total winner.I have purchased some Four shades from this range.

-Shade No.6

-Shade No.8

-Shade No.9

-Shade No.10

I intend to purchase shade No.1, 3, 4 and 5 too. :p

Cons of the product:

-many may find it a bit pricy for the quantity.

-While swiping over its surface, one has to be careful or there would be product wastage.

-Shade 2 and 3 are very shimmery, so may not be everyone's choice.

-No brush or sponge applicator is provided. (I don't even prefer those :p , so not a con for me)
