Cover Girl Intense ShadowBlast
We all see the commercials with the fab Drew Barrymore with perfectly smoky eyes that seem effortless and it's all thanks to one product: Intense Shadow Blast. Amazon lists the description:
Intensify your eye look! Our innovative formula of rich eyeshadow with built-in primer gives you intense crease-proof color that last for hours. Intense Shadowblast is rich color that stays!It's offered in six different colors:
Beige Blaze- a light champagne with a strong white/silver sheen
Blue Bomb- strong sky blue with a silver sheen
Brown Bling- medium blue-based brown with a subtle silver sheen
Extreme Green- between a spring and a pistachio green with a gold sheen
Forever Pink- ballerina pink with silver sheen
Platinum Pop- a medium silver with a hint of sky blue.
I personally love these! I have four of them:

Beige Blaze, Platinum Pop, Extreme Green, Brown Bling
-The texture is nice and creamy when you first put it on, but dries to a nice powdery finish in about 90 seconds.
- It really lasts all day! I tend to have oily eyelids and I live in Florida, so it's Humidity Land, and I put it on at 10 a.m. and I was still looking great at 6 p.m, no creasing in sight!
- Beige Blaze will look great on just about everyone. It's a great base from natural daytime looks to nighttime drama! I've even used this on my burlesque girls.
Cons
- It doesn't really go on super evenly or blend out well with the applicator. I use a finger to even it out and blend outward.
- The most of the colors have a pretty strong silver sheen to them, including the brown.
- Platinum Pop, when used by itself, comes off more blue than silver. However, it is great to use as a foundation for some rock n' roll inspired eyes!
I would recommend everyone to get at least one of these; they're a great buy at $7-8 a piece. They're a wonderful base for a variety of looks or can work as a quick wash of color. If we were to have only one, it would definitely be Beige Blaze: looks great on so many skin tones and brightens every eye color.
Tip: let the product dry with your eyes closed for about 90 seconds so there's no creasing.
A tutorial using this product will be up soon.
Later, my pretties!
