HIP Eye Shadow VS. Lancome's New Black Eye Shadow

Before I had the nerve to purchase a pot of M.A.C. eye shadow, I kept my cosmetic shopping at Wal-Mart. Why? Well, everyone knows why. The great prices, of course! Since I was always on the look-out for good quality eye shadow that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg, I decided to try using a brand called HIP. HIP stands for High Intensity Pigments shadow. The duo I had purchased was called Brazen. This HIP Brazen eye shadow was half magenta pink, and half brown. HIP is made by L'Oreal. I thought it was a pretty good combination, even though it was a little pricier than the other eye shadows that it was competing against on the shelves. When I opened up the package to the HIP eye shadow, I noticed that not only did it come with an applicator, but it came with a brush too! How convenient! The pot-like device the eye shadow came in was a good size. I thought I was going to love this eye shadow. And I was right! The brown was could be blended easily on my eyelid, and the pink was very intense, but pretty. Who knew you could find great quality eye shadow at Wal-Mart?
