Today's review is about My Face cosmetics's Blingtone Eyeshadow in "Black Ice"
Blingtone-Black Ice:
There was no other place she'd rather be than Ibiza. On any night she could be found in the middle of the dance floor at Amnesia or Pasha, entranced by the music and the rhythm of the atmosphere. She adorned her eyes with black ice, a blend of greys and silver, crushed onyx, diamonds and mischief...a perfect complement to the decadence of the island.
My Experience:
As the name suggests the eyeshadows in the blingtone range are super sparkly. Black Ice is a charcoal color and the glitter in it is of perfect size. It's not big nor too small but perfect enough to give a wet effect when applied. When i first saw the sparkly surface of this eyeshadow i thought maybe,like other eyeshadows,the sparkle is just on the surface and may disappear once i swatch it.I was wrong.It's present in the entire product. I used a damp brush to apply it on my eyes (above) and i noticed that when used wet it gives more of a metallic look.If i apply it dry the glitter is more obvious. On first application (dry) the color appears sheer with a lot of glitter. However you can always put on a second layer to increase the intensity of the color. This didn't bother me since mostly i apply my eyeshadows wet,and when you use this one with a damp brush,one layer is enough to achieve a dark color.
The thing i liked the most was that even though it's loaded with glitter,the fallout was negligible.It is packed with crushed pearl and pigment.I didn't end up having a sparkly face.The glitter is quite sticky i guess.
It's staying power is really good.It lasted me for about 6-7 hours without creasing however i noticed some glitter going all the way up till my brow bone.
When used wet,the glitter is kind of suppressed so when i want to create a more sparkly look i just apply a dry layer of this shadow on the wet one.
FINAL NOTE: This is a very nice super sparkly eyeshadow. Use it on it's own or over your matte eyeshadow to make it look more glam,either way this would make your eyes prominent and ready to party.
