Salma Hayek Nuance Mineral Eyeshadow Duo First Impressions Sheer Plum/Putty

The new Salma Hayek Nuance line is exclusive to CVS, so I had to pick up a few products when it released b/c it was buy one get one free and this is on the more expensive side for drugstore.  So far there is a fairly limited color selection (maybe to "test" the market).  The products I will review are the eyeshadow duo, the eyeshadow quad, and the lipsticks.  The tinted moisturizers looked very limited in shades and more yellow-based, so I didn't pick up those.
The packaging is pretty sleek and more impressive for drugstore.  It resembles a leaf (which ties into the line as you'll see in later posts).  It's very sturdy, I've thrown this shadow in my purse to take to work.
The shade I bought is Sheer Plum/Putty 001 (putty on the left in above pic).  You get one matte shade and one shimmery shade.  I always get fearful of drugstore mattes.  They seem so hit or miss, but I'm loving this one!  (And for some reason, I didn't really want to like this line).
The colors are pigmented, soft enough to blend easily and compliment eachother.  This is a great duo to have on the go and it's also a more neutral based way to wear purples.  I had no problems with fall-out and the colors stayed all day.

As far as price, I can never pay full price at the drugstore.  I just can't do it!  I feel cheated!  Plus, if you wait a week, it's usually on sale again.  I would repurchase more shades when they are on sale.  Again, there are a limited amount available right now (and this shade sold out at my store as did the brown duo).

Cons: I don't like when duos aren't divided.  I just don't like eyeshadows touching each other, but that's a personal thing.  Slight chemically/cosmetic odor that is hard to place.  It's not noticeable unless you shove your nose in the shadows and sniff (which I did, haha).  None of these things are deal breakers for me.  Another con is I wish there were more colors and possibly individual shades.

Rating: 4.5/5
Repurchase: Yes
Best For: All skin types.  Multiple colors available to suit skin tone.
Price: $8.49 (at my CVS at least, also it was buy one get one free when I bought)

Are you picking up anything from the Nuance line?

  4. Your concept and ideas for an app being detailed for your nofollow.
    Your logo is the very first day that you conceive of your nofollow.

    Then ask your clients again. John F Brock Yeah.
    Offering discounts can attract customers, but today's customer is more educated and smarter. Is what little pricing you have or the modest pricing that you have dreamed of.
