E.l.f. essentials smudge pots

Hi everyone
I hope your doing well, today I will be reviewing the Elf smudge pots
packaging

Product claims:
This smooth gel formula glides on perfectly. Use it as a long-lasting eyeshadow or eyeliner! Enriched with Vitamin E to nourish and hydrate the delicate eye area.
Dip a brush into the pot and apply along the lash line for rich eyeliner color. Use a brush or your finger and apply to the eyelid and buff out for vibrant eyeshadow color. 




Product experience
Product comes in these small plastic pot I bought the colors cruisin chic which is a shimmery medium taupe and brownie points which is a shimmery warm dark brown you get 0.19 oz 5.5 g for $2.00
The product was creamy to the touch but felt very light on the skin and blended easily.
Unfortunately the wear time is limited, it creased and disappeared on my lids when I wore this alone. It is a must that set this product with an eye shadow to extend the wear time.

Pros
  • 10 colors to choose from
  • Has good color pay off
  • Inexpensive
  • Easy to apply with fingers or a brush
  • Easy to blend
  • The product feels very light and creamy
  • Easy to remove or correct, doesn't need specialized make up remover.

worn alone after 5 hours of wear


Cons

  • Comes in a pot
  • Unsanitary
  • Only comes in shimmery finish.
  • You get a lot less product compared to other cream eye shadows.
  • Did not last every long, creased and disappeared if used alone 
  • Needs to set with powder, it will increase wear time.



set with a powder after 7 hours 


This product I feel is best used as an eye shadow base. If you don't have oily eyelids you might be able to get away with using this product alone. For me I have to set it with a corresponding eye shadow.
