Review: Elizabeth Arden's Eyeshadow Duo

When it comes to eyeshadows, I am more of a matte than of the shimmery type. And EA's eyeshadows come in handy. I have their Quad Compact which was a great buddy for everyday wear because it gives me that no makeup look, just the way I want. Now let me introduce you to its little sister, which is the Eyeshadow Duo.

 The packaging is so small, yet so cutie patootie!



 L: matte pale pink; R: shimmery taupe

 The pink one doesn't do much color.



I also have the same pale pink color in the eyeshadow quad btw. Feels smooth to touch, I must say. I like how well they go with each other. I love how subtle the shimmers in taupe are, really perfect for everyday use. But if you prefer the pronounced type, you'll not want this. This compact also includes a little mirror, and an eyeshadow brush which apparently was lost. It's also easy to blend, though its a little powdery, but not much fallout you can spot. Overall, a great little product even perfect for traveling, and makeup junkies that want to skip the tedious process of blending pigmented ones. :)


Pros:
  • sturdy little compact
  • smooth and easy to blend
  • perfect shades for everyday look
  • has a little mirror and an eyeshadow brush
  • includes a matte and a shimmery shade

Cons:
  • can get a little powdery
  • not widely available

Rating: 4/5

  1. Lovely pallete! I think it is perfect for the day time look with subtle tones. Elizbeth arden is a popular and renowned brand and their cosmetics are bit expensive but give excellent results.

  2. EA's eyeshadows look very appealing and smooth. I like the pink matte shade comparing with the others. I hope I could find it from the local store. Well, my only concern is the availability.
