Have you ever purchased something that was "name brand" or expensive only to realize later that it was utter crap?
I bought an Urban Decay essentials kit and it came with their "cult favorite" Midnight Cowboy eyeshadow. It looked very pretty in the package. A kinda pink based neutral champagne/beige. Opened it up and tested it on my hand. GLITTER GALORE! Not shimmer. Not micro glitter. CONFETTI countable chunks of glitter. And by itself, Urban Decay charges $16 dollars for it. Totally not worth it when you can get preteen glittery makeup for 99 cents. |
