Feeling H-I-P


I've been hearing really great things about the new line of Loreal eyeshadows.
The line is called H-I-P (High Intensity Pigments).
Last Saturday, the Mooch and I decided to go out on a date, so I wanted to wear the flirtiest eye-shadow I could. For some reason, I've been really into Purple eyshadow lately. And not Plum color purple, Violet Electric Purple (it's a good thing my job isn't actually "naming" the eyshadow colors, I would be fired in 2 seconds flat).
Anyway, HIP eye-shadow is sold as a duo, I bought Flamboyant. Exactly the purple I was looking for plus a great, yellow/gold color.
Loreal was not kidding. These colors are truly High Intensity. The good thing about these eye-shadows is they look exactly the same on my eyes as they do in the packaging. No guessing game there. The great thing is, they stay put. As I get older and I get deeper creases in my eyelids, I need to concentrate on eye-shadows that won't fall into the creases.
I used the violet color on the top lids, put the yellow/gold in the middle of the lid, to tone down the violet a bit. Then dabbed a bit of the gold in the corner of my eyes on the bottom.
Play around with them, the colors are so so pretty and at only $7 a pop, it's worth a try.

Let me know what you think!
