Review and swatches: Essence – @Holografics.com (eyeshadows) + KOTD

I didn’t even had the intention to post the review about @Holographics.com trend edition by Essence, because the collection is long gone in most of the stores. But then I read that in some stores in Slovenia they still sell it. So I decided to write a very short review. Here’s what I bought.

First I’d like to mention, that people at Essence do not know, what “holographic” means. There’s nothing holographic in this collection. The products are actually duochrome and NOT holographic. Moving on to the products.

Prism@tic White creme eyeshadow. Nice white with purple sheen.

Gigalectric creme eyeshadow. Teal with purple duochrome effect, that is visible only in the jar.

The eyeshadows are very sheer, but they look amazing over a black base. Main reason, why I bought these eyeshadows was, I wanted to use them as eyeshadow bases. Unfortunately they are not sticky enough, that’s why the eyeshadows don’t stick to them. :angry: A waste of money (for me).

Next is a konadicure I did quite some time ago. Although Blue Ray nail polish is on the sheer side, it was still pigmented enough for a subtle konadicure.
