L'Oreal HIP pigments

[purseaddict]

i bought 3 of the eyeshadow (not pigments) pots from target when i was in buffalo. i was excited because we dont have them here in canada.....but when i tried them, i was very disappointed. however, i was surprised that when you use them wet, they are decent for eyeliner. i havent tried all of the colours though, which is my next mission.

You'd save a lot of money purchasing MAC's piggies.

I actually bought both 'exquisite' (gold) and 'dazzling' (silver) HIP pure pigment shadow sticks and their new volumizing mascara (accidentally in 'blue black').
The shadow sticks are good, but I probably only fell in love with the gold one because I'd never tried gold eyeshadow before. They both improve immensely when applied wet. So much so that I've wet the whole end of the cute little stick so that they go on nice and bold. I've only used them a few times, so I have no idea how long they will last...
The mascara however was a total disappointment. I have stubby little lashes that need all the help they can get, and while my lashes got nice and thick, they were also pretty heavy and clumped. Perhaps they'll look better when I get a new eyelash curler? (My old one's mysteriously absent...)
I have yet to try MAC (soon, I promise), but I'm sure that L'Oreal can't compare.

I haven't bought any of these so I can't say anything about the quality, but if you have an Ulta store nearby and want to try these by HIP... these are on sale right now, Buy 1 Get 1 Free - plus, you can print a $3.50 off $10+ coupon from the Ulta website - which makes it not a bad deal.

HTH!

i recently got ahold of parrot and absolutely love it but th hip shadow duos are really good too. i got "showy" with the two blue colors and the color pay-off, with udpp, works excellent, in my opinion. i just recently got udpp and its done nothing but impressed me!!

its more like 7.5g for $20.

I got the green pigment and it is a little lighter than M.A.C.'s golden olive.
