Swatches: ELF Mineral Eyeshadows

I am really liking the pigmentation of most of these eyeshadows. There are some duds in this group, but the vast majority of them are really awesome. These are definitely comparable to BE eyeshadows, only these are $3 a piece.

I tried as hard as possible to get the clearest swatch pictures. These are very true to life,  but as with most swatches photos, you need to see these in person to get the full effect of these.

I was surprised that most of these shadows are very neutral and work appropriate.

Dupes: MAC Oh Baby vs Milani LipMixer in Lip Mingle

I took these pictures a few months ago, and my camera wouldn’t allow me to download these into my laptop until last night. I personally can’t remember which lipgloss is which, but since they are absolutely identical – it doesn’t really matter.

If my camera and my laptop continue to work well together, then I should be able to post more swatches in the future.
