Addiction eyeshadow: Pink Sky

I was so happy with my recent Kate eyeshadow I thought I would pick up another brand in another color. Cosme ranked Addiction eyeshadow as the best, so I gave it a whirl, selecting Pink Sky (pearly type) for 2160 yen (available on the Addiction website- Japanese only).

I was thoroughly disappointed. The color looks like any brand and had no shine at all. I'll be sticking with the Kate brand!

Kate dual blend Eyeshadow (gold)

My Japanese girlfriends all wear sparkly pinky silver eyeshadow everyday. I'm not sure if that color would go with my skin tone, so I picked up the new Kate dual blend eyeshadow when I was at the drugstore yesterday, for about 1000 yen.

It went on nice and smooth and stayed put. I really liked the gold color, lots of sparkle. I contoured with the dark brown today, and felt it blended nicely. Not bad for a random purchase. It will last forever - there is so much!
