| CoverGirl Intense ShadowBlast |
First of all I have to say I am a total sucker for any makeup product that tells you it is for a certain eye colour. I have no idea why but if the product says something like 'accentuates brown eyes' or 'makes brown eyes pop' I will buy it. It may be because I'm not the greatest at eyeshadow so if something will help me along I usually take the instructions willingly.
Anyways, that might be why I was all over CoverGirl's Colour Match program on their website. If you sign up and put in your hair colour, eye colour, etc. it will tell you the best shades for you in their products. I always check this before buying anything CoverGirl so that i can buy it in the right shade for me. Who knows how accurate the matches are really, but I feel better thinking I am at least on the right track when picking a shade. I tend to feel lost if I pick colours on my own.

| Intense ShadowBlast in Blue Bomb and Brown Bling |
I did this for both of the Intense ShadowBlast eyeshadows that I bought, and I think the match was pretty accurate. That isn't the point of this post though. The point is to talk about how great these eyeshadows are! They have a built in primer which is wonderful since I cannot be bothered to add that extra step.I feel like these got overlooked when they first hit shelves. They apply super smoothly and have a good range of shades. I have one more subdued shade, Brown Bling, and one colourful one, Blue Bomb. I only have the two so I cannot comment on the rest of the line but I like what I have.
I think that of all forms of eyeshadow this might be my favourite. This creamy texture is easy to apply and smudge around, and it never falls on my face like powder shadow does. It is wet but it dries quickly and I didn't come across any issue with it getting caught in my creases.
The only thing I will warn you of is longevity. I only wore these for a few hours and they did well during that time. However I have read that they do not hold up as long as they claim. For a short and sweet burst of colour I totally love these, but for long-wearing looks they might not be the best.
Anyways, if you have these and have an opinion I'd love to hear it so leave a comment!
Thanks for reading!
