Essence Stay All Day Long Lasting Eyeshadow in Glammy Goes To...

Hey all! I was using this the other day, and I decided I should do a review on it. This may end up being more of a warning, rather than a review.

This is a cream shadow that you can find at Ulta or wherever else Essence is sold (I've only seen it at Ulta). I bought it upon recommendation from Emily (emilynoel83). She was going on about how gorgeous the color is and how long-wearing it was, and it was so cheap, too! It is cheap, it is long-wearing, and the color is beautiful. This product may have those things going for it, but there is a problem that outweighs its benefits. Let's take a look at a swatch.

As you can see in the swatch, it has a tendency to clump up. It's kind of flaky when it dries. It makes my eyelids look like dragon scales. I do not like the effect at all. And when I think about it, I'm pretty sure that it was like that from the very first time I used it. It's always had a drier texture to it. There are so many other cream shadows in the drug store--some that are just as long-wearing, if not more--that are creamier that I will not be repurchasing this. If you've had a different experience, I would like to know, because I do like that these are pretty cheap.

This was a pretty short review. I hope it was helpful. Have a great day, and I'll talk to you soon!

PS Sorry that there's all those indentations in the product. Hauls will have pretty, new product pictures, and reviews will not because I have to use a product before I can review it. If I've taken a picture of a brand new product in the past, I'll try to use it in the review so things look as nice as possible. Anyway, the little divets and bumps show off how pretty and metallic the shadow is. I just wish it wasn't so dry!
