THE SKINNY: The Sephora Colorful
Eye Shadow quad – Tender Pink No. 27, Armelle No. 32 (pale purple),
Carolina's Pride No. 33 (a darker purple) and Tiny Bubbles No. 12
(pale yellow accent) – takes shimmer shadow to another level.
I kept finding sparkly bits on my
faces, on my clothes and in my hair all day long. When Spehora says the shadow is long-lasting, believe it.
The sparkle contained in these shadows might be great for the club or for the teen set, but I was little self-conscious with it on for a day at the office. (Did it highlight the creases around my eyes?)
I was not too keen with the application
of the shadows either. I have used Sephora shadow in the past a
really liked it. But these did not apply smoothly (maybe from all
that sparkle or from being glued to a sample card).

The worst part about not liking this
shadow quad is that I really adore the color selection. I would have
never picked out these colors for myself in the store, yet they look
fabulous together.
KEEP OR TOSS: Toss. Unless you
can find a really great sale. Because of Sephora's reputation, I
would guess the full size product is superior to the sample.
CHECK IT OUT: The SephoraCollection contains a variety of products from eye shadows to
lipsticks and beauty tools. Products and prices can change
frequently, so shop for the best deals.
