I found L’oreal HiP Pure Pigment Shadow Sticks on clearance in my local drugstore for $2.00 a piece. I often times look for extreme markdowns in the cosmetics section, and since I know how rich and pigmented all the L’oreal HiP products are, I grabbed three of these. Since I don’t see this product on the L’oreal website, I am guessing these are discontinued in the United States, hence the reason they were on clearance. Regardless, I have seen these in several stores around me still, and they are well worth the purchase. To learn more about these extremely pigmented shadow sticks,
L’oreal Paris HiP Pure Pigment Shadow Sticks are multi-use eyeshadow sticks that are literally pure color. They are so intense and rich in color that a little goes a long way. You can apply these shadows wet or dry – simply wet a brush and dip the brush into the stick for a wet look, or apply straight to the brush dry. The wetter your brush, the more intense the pigmentation of the color will be. I saw several shades in the store, but I was drawn to the three above colors for their versatile uses. I chose all metal shades: Exquisite, a gold metallic eyeshadow, Alluring, a mocha metallic eyeshadow, and Dazzling, a silver metallic eyeshadow.
These pigment sticks work fantastic as a base, or alone, and will not crease. I wore these shadow sticks with my regular eyeshadow base, and they did not budge until I removed them. The reason for this is because the shadow sticks dry into somewhat of a “powder” feel on your skin, rather than being creamy. The lighter shades would look fantastic in the inner corners of your eyes for a bold look, and would also be a great addition to your lipstick or lip gloss, for a gorgeous metallic sheen.
L’oreal Paris HiP Pure Pigment Shadow Sticks retail for $6.99 each at your local drugstore. I believe L’oreal is getting rid of this product, and is putting them on clearance in many locations. If you spot these shadow sticks, you will want to give them a try, if not for their insane pigmentation and crease-resistant wear.
