It seems like there are so many eco-friendly products coming out into the mainstream market these days. I am excited to see the beginnings of what I hope to be a major revolution in reformulation of mass-marketed products to include healthy, pure ingredients. So I gotta try them when I see them.
I picked up four of the five shades of Almay Pure Blends™ Eye Shadow to try (Lavender, Sage, Petal and Cocoa). They are marketed as being 98.2% natural, including yummy ingredients such as extracts of lotus and orchid. They are talc and paraben free, which is awesome. They are also packaged in pretty, simple eco-packaging.
I wanted to love these - I did! I got them on a 2 for 1 promotion, the colors looked beautiful. But after trying them several times, I just don't think they are for me. The colors were very pastel and very sheer. Too pastel and too sheer for someone as fair as myself. It almost looked like I didn't have anything on. The texture felt great, though. Light and airy. And they were super-gentle on my eyes, which is a plus as they are usually fussy with eye products.
I think that these might look great on someone with a darker skin tone than myself, so I would say give them a try if you are a medium to dark skin tone. They might work out great for you!
