extremely happy with this product

When I ordered this product I was a bit sceptical with it There is a new product out there available by precription only and I heard alot of strange things about it darkining light colored eyes and darkining the lids..well I sure didnt want that...and the price was rediculous...so I went on line to read some reviews about these eyelash growth products...I have very delicate lashes and they break easily and it really bugged be...and I found this product had the best reviews except for maybe 1 or 2 that were not satisfied...so I went ahead to Amazon and found they had a 3 pack of the Ardell Brow and Lash Accelerator and I already see a difference in 3 weeks my broken lashes are growing out and my normal lashes are getting longer and oh my god my brows are awesome...so if anyone is as sceptical as I was dont be!!!! this stuff works!!! for a big fraction of the price of the prescription one and the other ones on the market also. Tnanks Ardell!!!! Happy in New York....(PS: Im also in the cosmetic buisness)BabsMore detail ...

Great but..

I was hesitating to buy this palette for few weeks. I liked the colors but I was afraid of the quality due to the low price. I finally bought it and was suspicious about number 1 ingredient talc as it makes eyeshadows powders etc chalky. Here's the full list of the ingredients: mica mineral oil kaolin titanium dioxide magnesium sterate isopropyl palimtate lanolin methylparaben propylparaben BHT. May contain :mica and titanium dioxide iron oxides manganese violet utramarine blue chrome oxide greens hydrated chrome oxide greens FD&C red no.40 Al lake FD&C Yellow no. 5 Al lake FD&C blue no.1 Al lake. Made in China.

The whole palette is very light and portable. It was shipped the next day via USPS Priority Mail wrapped carefully in a lot of bubble plastic. I received it in a perfect condition. When I opened palette I was positively surprised-the colors are more vivid than on the picture. I used fingers and applied few colors on my hand and they looked awesome very bright. Than I used my brushes (not those 2 included but professional ones) and unfortunately eyeshadows were very chalky (the chalkiest I ever tried) basically the whole application looked like I was using colored flour and the colors didn't transfer in full. I was so disappointed. I liked the colors though and didn't want to give up and next day I applied some colors on eyelids with my fingers and that was a brilliant idea-no chalky mess at all! Colors so strong like Makeup Forever or MAC eyeshadows. I blended at the end and the colors lasted all day they actually stained my fingers a bit. So they are very pigmented and easy to blend. If they would be chalky even with the fingers they would go back with no question.

I always use primer so there is no crease and eyeshadows can stick better to the surface.

I took 1 star for this talc also mineral oil is used in cheap cosmetics but the price fast and secure shipping plus great pigmentation easily made 4 stars.



UPDATE: both included applicators work great and application is not chalky but they are not meant to blend so blending brush will be handy.More detail ...
