TARA HIGH INTENSITY PIGMENT: PRODUCT REVIEW

I have been wanting to do a review on Tara/ orekelewa products for ages. i love that woman , So a negative review was a no-no even if i was paid, i just could not - but those first set of orekelewa eyeshadow where nothing to write about, pardon me i love the "ovialeke" but still it just wasn't it for me. Those old 3-in-1 eye shadows had a great satin finish but it will not last up to 3hrs it just disappears your have to use a primer to get it to last 5hrs. But that is enough rambling on old school tales backup to lastest news, about the new tara high intensity pigment eye shadows.
 First thing that caught me was the fabulous advert pictures, i couldn't believe our beloved tara who is a freak for natural looks will have tons of lovely looking pigments on her own face. Anyway, i have been curious but i ain't buying any more local brands - have been badly burnt (too much money for less quality) so i didn't allow myself get moved until one of my student brought it in yesterday after like a year of release. i was shocked and duly impressed, hence my review.

This eye shadows are simply divine and that is no exageration (this is not a sponsored review) i really love them. it has a very mineralized feel, sleek satin finish (so it suitable for even for a bride) yet its so pigmented that you can do without primer and still get 5hrs good hours out of it.




The colour combination in my pallet is great(queen amina),containing colours you can use on a daily basis. you might of-course have a favorite color but am sure you will find all shades in it to be useful.

Colors: gray,deep blue, teal, bronze, baby pink, lilac, fushia pink, peach, silver, deep bronze,sky blue and a grayish blue. I find the various shade of pink to be fantastic and if are like me i.e you love blending colors- you will love this pallet.

The outer packaging is lovely though the applicator inside is useless for a professional. I also had issues with the fall out from application, i guess this expected from any highly pigmented eye shadow but my main issue is with fact that the fall out eye shadow didn't clean off easily.

This are the swatches of the color set that i have and am hoping to get the remaining so i can show those one too.

THE GLOSSOVER

The texture is soft and buttery,sleek satin finish, very blendable, good variety of color combination suitable for every day use and it lives up to its name as a high intensity pigment.
