A Purple - Blue Eye Look With Orissa Cosmetics

As promised , this is a look I did with the purple mineral eyeshadow I received from Orissa Cosmetics. Me not liking loose powder shadows is well documented on this blog but then the purple was so gawgus I had to give it a go !

This is what I ended up with. Isn't the color pretty ! I have in the past tried a few loose shadows and my biggest issue was fall out. With this shadow, there was fall out but very very very less. It sticks very easily to skin, to the eyeshadow primer and has a long stay-time on my lids. The feel of the shadow though shimmery is silky and soft making it blend effortlessly. You can almost see the softness in the pics. This is the only shade I've tried but I am looking forward to ordering a couple more shades when their site is updated.

That's it !
