6 sticks, each with their own blender brush
[[VIDEOID:9d6b73448b9c4669051332c7b4e0f4e9]] I was actually shopping for another cream eyeshadow stick by Julep that I really liked and found these instead with a blender BRUSH instead of a foam pad. I loved the one I had of the other brand, but the sponge blender kind of burned when I used it. It was just too rough for the eye area (mine, anyway).<br /><br />At first I thought this set was just one eyeshadow stick and I was trying to figure out how to choose which color or purple I wanted. Then I saw that it was SIX STICKS and each color had its own blender brush. OMG! This makes it an amazing deal! There's not a single shade of these that I won't wear and I usually wear about 3 colors from the set at once.<br /><br />These colors are really pretty as well as very soft and flattering. I used the video to show the colors on my light skin since a lot of times I'm wondering how something will look on me. These are frosty shades of purple, meaning they are sparkly. A lot of them are kind of a brownish purple, which I was happy to see.<br /><br />Each end has a cap. The brush end is where you twist to raise and lower the stick. The brush is very soft, like a regular makeup brush. You can put the cap from the colored end over the brush cap and it stays on. Totally handy!<br /><br />I was wish each cap on the color end was the color of the eyeshadow, but then I realized the color is written on the side in the color of the shade. Now I can find the one I want much faster. The cream eyeshadow glides on wonderfully without dragging your eyelid. It blends easily and looks so nice. If you're looking for waterproof all-day color, this isn't it. Otherwise, this is a great set that you'll have so much fun with. I prefer cream makeup now that I"m older and these are probably the best eyeshadow sticks I've had.<br /><br />The best things about these sticks (aside from the gorgeous purple colors)? That each stick has it's own blending brush. You don't have to worry about mixing colors on your brush or even using your own brushes. The brush on the end is what sold me and I'm just so thrilled they are as soft as they are. Couldn't be happier.<br /><br />This is the best little set and I'll buy it again when I use it up. I'd love it if they came out with a burgundy set and I'd also buy a smoky set (hint, hint, hint). A smoky set would be wow. The only thing that would make these better is if they had their own little bag. I caught myself wishing for that the other day.
