New Revlon Eyeshadows

in 030 Platinum Glimmer Satin Formula and 045 Black Galaxy Perle Formula

Revlon's PhotoReady foundation might not have been a smashing success for me, but I did find something to love in the line. These two little gems are new and worthy of love. Platinum Glimmer is a battleship grey with a silver shimmer cast. Black Galaxy is a sooty black with significant silver sparkles. I thought the names of the formulas were mismatched. Perle's are generally cashmere-like in texture with an opalescent quality. Glimmers are "straight up" shimmers or glitters.

I had no expectations concerning pigment power. It was a firm medium. I was pleasantly surprised with the depth and smooth application. Black Galaxy was amazing with both a wet and dry application. I thought this was a more wearable black. It was softer and easier to control coverage. It also had no color casts. It was straight soot. There was some shimmer fall out. Platinum Glimmer had no flake issues. The texture was thicker and the shimmer cast was ultra-fine. These were priced at $4.99 and can be located at your local drugstore.

Disclosure: I purchased these two shadows at a local CVS drugstore.
