    MAC are my favourite pigments. They stay on for super long and come in sooo many colours. I buy them off ebay (BEWARE: THEIR ARE SO MANY FAKES) only if i am positive they are authentic. I get them for about $20 ea with postage :D. But Chi Chi loose eyeshadows are really highly pigmented, cheap, good quality and pretty too.

    MAC is great, i really like bourjous and red earth. Have you tried using an eye shadow medium? It’s kind of like an eye shadow primer but i find it much better! You can make your own medium by adding 1/4 glycerine (which is $4 a bottle! Will last you FOREVER!! Lol) to 3/4 water, just make a new batch every few weeks because bateria can grow it in.

    Aussie Mineral Makeup has an excellent eyelid primer. It keeps your eyeshadows in place all day and helps with the vibrancy (it doesn’t fade over the course of the day.) Remember when using eye lid primer don’t over use it just a light application works best. They are freight free, Australian and part of Beauty Heaven.

    I have ordered eye shadows from Pure Luxe and I am so excited! They look fabulous. The samples are $1each and look generous. Just cant wait to try them. They have shadows which change colours in different angles and some which glow in the dark!

    I have read quite a bit lately that just applying translucent powder alone on your clean eyelids makes your eyeshadow last heaps longer 🙂

    Here it is I think Hooha, out of stock at the moment but keep an eye on it, it’s on my list. Just page down to the black pigment primer.
