Today, I wanted share one of the gifts I got myself with my Sephora gift certificates for Christmas. I went in to Sephora not knowing what I wanted and found these Hello Kitty Eyeshadow Pencils, I swatched them but they didn't have the color I wanted. I went to Sephora.com and low and behold they had a whole set of 6 ($38) for the price of 2 1/2 sticks ($16 each) - Score!
When they came I was surprised at the plain, plain packaging - I mean this is Hello Kitty! Usually there's a pink fuchsia color explosion - no big deal, just thought it was odd.
I really like these shadow sticks they have good color payoff, the are creamy and the colors are really usable. And they must be good because I usually don't like ANYTHING Hello Kitty - I'm more of a Sesame Street person - sans Elmo.
I took pictures booth indoors and in the daylight. The colors are (from left to right) Kimono, Cotton Candy (why is the dark purple called Cotton Candy?), Overalls, Teacup, Friendship, Cream Puff.
They were still available online as of January 15th.
Have you ever tried these before?

They're very pretty shades. Great swatches.
ReplyDeleteThey are all great colors, which I find is rare in a "value" pack.
ReplyDeletethose shades are pretty, I love the shimmering effect they have!
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty, great on their own or under shadow!
DeleteThose are so pretty :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, I was really excited that all the colors are so usable :)
DeleteWow these are so pigmented! I agree about the packaging though, you'd think they'd come in a box shaped as Hello Kitty's head or something.
ReplyDeleteThey are very nice! And I don't want a Hello Kitty head but don't just throw my pencils in a baggy!
DeleteI agree with you about the plain packaging, where's all the pink? LOL The color of the eye shadows are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis was a score!
DeleteDo they crease on the eyelid?
ReplyDeleteI haven't had that problem yet, but I use Too Face Shadow Insurance underneath and a lot of times a bit of shadow on top.
