It takes a lot to get us out of bed every morning (read: five cups of coffee), but these warm-toned, compact-sized, and budget-friendly shadow trios from Birchbox brand Love of Color (LOC) make us excited to start our day. Featuring bold, on-trend hues (some handpicked by YouTube beauty star Tati Westbrook), the sets come with three paraben- and cruelty-free One & Done Shadow Sticks and a Sharpener. The sticks can be worn individually or blended for a wide-awake look—no primer required. The best part? Each waterproof, creaseless color lasts up to 11 hours.
This eyeshadow pencil wasn’t smooth. It was like using an actual crayon on my eyelid. It didn’t blend smoothly. It doesn’t melt well. The pigment pay off is poor. If you’re looking for a sheer liner to dot your eye duct, this is for you. If you want to use this for eyeshadow, look elsewhere.
2I received the light pink color of this product in my Birchbox. First off, these DO NOT last the alleged 11 hours. When I wear this shadow to work, I find that it has creased within 3 hours, regardless of what I do or do not prime my eyes with. It creases even if I try to set it with a powder shadow over top. I've tried wearing it several different ways and I cannot get it to not crease after only a few hours. Also, I've found that I am going through this stick really fast. I was hoping to use this as an every day shadow because the color is so flattering and neutral but at this rate, I will have gone through the entire product in about a month. So much potential in this product but it just falls short.
2I absolutely LOVE this product, BUT..the pencils DO NOT fit in the sharpener!!! Unless I am doing something wrong?? If anyone had any suggestions I would appreciate them! I am using my fingernail to dig into the pencil to be able to use! Please tell me why the pencils do not fit the sharpener that comes with it????
