ok guys, i really like barry m dazzle dust+find not only does it stay on all night, but a little goes a very long way, also the colour is so intense! so im after some new eyeshadows that are just as intense (i find the little solid powder things aren't half as bright.)
Can anyone recommend any brands to me that i can buy in the uk, and that are around the barry m price (£4.50 a pot). i really dont want to be spending £10+on 1 eyeshadow colour, as i like combining colours+it could cost me a fourtune.
thanx.
BTW, ebay+websites r great, and also photos of how the colour looks on would be ace!

    You'd probably be better off just going to a department store/boots/superdrug and having a play around with testers and things - that's the only way you can really test a product before buying it.

    I'm pretty useless when it comes to eyeshadows. I've lived on Barry M Dazzle Dust for the past 2/3 years and then suddenly "found" expensive makeup and was taken in! Haha, I'll never go back.

    Again, just go to a large boots and have a play around.

    Have you seen B Never Too Busy To B Beautiful? They are affiliated with Lush, and although a bit out of your price preference, their glitter cream eyeshadow is lovely and their glitter pots come in the sexiest colours....

    Agreed about Never Too Busy - their eyeshadows are beautiful and stay on for aaages. All their stuff is lovely, and they do an awesome liquid eyeliner too

    Mac pigments are totally awesome, and though they're not cheap, there are loads of ebay sellers selling sample sizes. They are usually 1/4 teaspoon, which doesn't sound like a lot, but a tiny bit goes a looong way and they are such intense colours.

    I got a lot of 10 - something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAC-eye-shadow-pigment-10-pc-set-pick-from-100_W0QQitemZ260019245889QQihZ016QQcategoryZ67610QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    And I :heart: them.

    I bought a really nice loose Bourjois eyeshadow for my prom.. the colour was really vibrant. Think they're about the same price as a Barry M pot.
