Thanks to my bzzagentstatus, I recieved a full sized smoky shadow blast in greenand brown from Covergirl recently.  I wore it to work one day and here are the results.

1. I loved the color – well, the green. The brown is a coppery brown and I wasn’t sure how to wear that color with the green considering it’s a limey light green shade. So, I used the brown as a liner.

2. The consistency is a creamy stick. Kind of like a lip balm.  The green, which I wore on my lid, creased.  I don’t even think it was noon – so about 3 hours into my day – and the product had slid up my eye lid and bunched up into the crease of my lid. This was a first for me.

3. The brown which I used as a liner thanks to it’s sharper shaped end, stayed in place pretty well.

4. Covergirl often has a smell to it that I don’t like. This doesn’t seem to have that smell. That’s good.

5. The packaging is pretty cool. One color stick on each end with a clear cap so you don’t have to guess at what you get.

6. Pricing is reasonable I suppose. I’m not familiar with this type of eyeshadow so I’m probably not a great judge of price.

Overall, it’s not bad, but there were two major drawbacks for me.

1. I wasn’t sure how to use the two colors together to get a smoky look. I’m not a newby to makeup either.

2. If the product won’t stay in place, it does me no good.

 I also got some nice couponsfrom Covergirl and I used one to purchase the new lashblast lengthfrom Covergirl.

There isn’t much to share here, but here are the points I found to be true.

1. It has that Covergirl smell that I dislike and that smell sometimes gives me a headache.

2. Brown (6m) is a good color for me. I have medium brown auburn hair.

3. It didn’t really appear to add any length, but I already have fairly long lashes.

4. It wasn’t clumpy and seemed to stay put for the day.
