I postulate that e.l.f. found an equation for awesomeness with the studio 18-Piece Geometric Eyeshadow Palette
I’ve been trying to focus on this palette’s awesome $5 price (regularly $10, but it’s on sale now online for $5) and 18 fallout-free, easy-to-blend powder eyeshadows today, but instead I keep thinking of frickin’ cyclohexane…

Видишь? Those two shapes on both sides of the middle? C6H12.

What do you mean, “That’s so weird, Karen”?

Это? I don’t know… I guess those chemistry classes scarred my psyche worse than I thought.

Duuuuude, it’s like one those posters that looks like a bunch of random dots, but if you stare at it long enough a picture appears. everyone and their brother had one of those in their room when I lived in the dorms. It was typically hanging next to a Bob Marley or Pulp Fiction poster…or a print of something by Monet.

I hated those things (the dot posters). No matter how long I stared, I could never see the pictures. My friend would be all, “Do you see it, Karen? It’s the Statue of Liberty,” and I’d say, “Uh…yeah! There it is! I see it now!” When in reality all I saw were the dots.

В моей лапы для масштаба …
The studio 18-Piece Geometric Eyeshadow palette is a little like those dot posters because it has some crazy shapes, but it’s way cooler than that. It also has a lot of high quality makeup and a fantastic price. I can wear the rich, pigmented shadows either alone or atop pencils or cream shadows, and with the help of a primer, they last all day long.

Swatches of the pans on the far left and in the center of the palette
I don’t think these swatches really convey just how bad-@ss these are. I know they look kind of weak, but that’s much more the fault of the packaging than the shadows themselves.

Выслушай меня…

Swatches of the pans on the far right

Truth be told, the palette’s geometric design is a big pain in the you-know-what. To get good swatches, the pans are a smidgen too small, even for my tiny fingers and numerous brushes, and you can pretty much forget about using the double-sided sponge applicator it comes with, because that barely fits into the pans at all.

Cute box

Hopefully you have some brushes with small brush heads around, like these from too Faced. I ended up using all three of those brushes to do this smokey purple look, and despite the inconveniently small pans, I like how it turned out.

I can’t wait to try much more looks with this palette!

I look like I’m staring off into space, haha! but really, I’m just thinking about the additional makeup I’m wearing in this look — MAC Blushbaby blush on my cheeks and Jouer Sophia Lipstick on my lips
Even though the packaging is a pain, the palette’s still only $10 (or $5 on sale now)!

Stocking stuffers, anyone? It also comes in a different version filled with brights. Either one, both are winners, winners, chicken dinners.
