Beautiful! But unfortunately DRIES OUT IN A COUPLE MONTHS!
[[VIDEOID:aef92a6ecb4755ec5636ddbdac7d2be]] 🔴UPDATE: I am updating my review because after having this for a few months, it has turned into a multichrome rock 😒 I have had it for about 5 months now and I have always kept the seal on it and kept the cap on tight after using it. I went to use it after not having used it for a month and found it completely dried up. It’s literally solid rock. I tried rewarming it, adding oil, and other things I’ve done for dried out gel pots and cream eyeshadows in the past but none of that worked for this. I had a video showing the shifts of this. But, you can only have 1 video and I thought showing how it turns into a rock was more important 😂 It’s a shame because it worked so well and was so beautiful. At first I thought $18.99 for this jar wasn’t bad at all because it only takes a little bit so it would last for a loooong time. But, since it dries out so quick, $18.99 is pretty darn pricey! Unless you’re going to use it every single day for the first few months, and even then I don’t see you using all the product up. I’m even more upset because I did get a second pot of this not long ago, so now I know what the future holds for that one. Such a shame. Unfortunately, I have to change my rating from 5 stars to 2 stars. I decided to give 2 instead of 1 because it works amazing when it’s not dried up.<br /><br />🔴ORIGINAL REVIEW<br />This comes in an outer product box. The ingredients are listed on the side. It is made in China. The product page says it is smudge proof, paraben free, vegan, and cruelty free. I didn’t see anything on the packaging saying anything about being cruelty free or logos. But, that doesn’t mean it isn’t.<br /><br />For use it says, “Take a tiny amount of Shadow Potion with a flat brush. Apply to the desired area with light pressure.” I’m not sure what “Shadow Potion.” It kind of sounds like something you mix this with, but it doesn’t say anything about mixing, so it’s more like these are called “Shadow Potion.” But, the product info just calls them Multichrome Eyeshadow. There’s nothing calling them “Shadow Potion” except for when it’s talking about how to use it.<br /><br />It comes in a plastic jar. The lid screws off. There is a plastic seal with a little tab to use to pull it up. I love that! A lot of products like this I get will have tinfoil seals that you’re supposed to just take off and throw out, but then the product has a chance of drying out. So, I love this has the plastic cover so that it helps keep it from drying out! The jar isn’t filled up. The product page says that the item weighs 3 grams. I’m guessing that’s how much the product weighs, not the actual jar with the product in it. But, it would be nice if the jar was filled a little more, especially at $17.99 (price at time of review).<br /><br />I got the shade “Nebula.” In the the jar (in product photos and in person), it looks like it’s reddish purple with green and gold. But, then the product photo of the swatches has it looking like a lighter purple and greenish gold. So I was really excited to try it out and see what it looked like!<br /><br />In person I don’t see what the swatch photo shows exactly. It’s more like what it looks like in the jar - a maroonish purple, shifting to a darker brighter purple, and green to goldish green. It’s really pretty, so I don’t mind it. The last photo that has swatches has more realistic ones. I’m not sure why they chose to put the other swatch photo before that one. Really, the first swatch photo shouldn’t even be included since it’s not realistic, at least for the “Nebula” shade.<br /><br />I did a video showing swatches of them. I showed it on my finger after application. Then I show the swatches in direct indoor lighting. Then I show the swatches in indirect natural lighting (window in back).<br /><br />It’s a cream so it glides on easily. It takes a minute to dry down but then it’s set in place and doesn’t move. It can crease if you have oily lids, but if you use a glitter glue or an eyeshadow primer I found it helps a lot.<br /><br />Overall, I think this is beautiful! It seems a little pricey, but a little goes a LONG way so it should last a long time, and most times multichromes like this are expensive, especially cream ones. So, I think it’s a decent price. It works great. It is easy to apply, sets down and stays put. I recommend!
