Jojobs: oops got a bit confused… I might try it anyway though. Stila sounds great though but they don’t sell it here so it’s more difficult for me to get.

Alyssa: I hadn’t thought of that, but you’re right. They look similar.

The eyeshadows remind me of Milani’s wet/dry for some odd reason.

Anastasia: you’re right, most eyeshadows can be applied wet or dry. I bought this because I never tried baked eyeshadows before and was curious. And Pupa eyeshadows are usually really good. I thought about giving it to someone, but I feel guilty because of the ingredients. Although if they knew about it and would still use it, then it would be ok, I guess.

Jojobs: this was the first time I tried baked eyeshadows. I usually prefer powder e/s as I find they are easier to work with and last longer. It’s a shame about the nasty ingredients really cos the eyeshadow works really well. I don’t think I’m gonna try another baked eyeshadow in a while although the Chanel one sounds interesting.
I was very disappointed by the packaging, as well. Their products, esp the palette usually has very pretty packaging.

Nikki: you’re welcome. I like Pupa products but this is definitely one I don’t recommend.

I never liked Pupa in the past but you grabbed my attention when you said it has a creamy texture (even though it is a powdered product.)

I have always worried about “baked” eye shadows/blushes as they tend to get hardened after a period of time and I am sick and tired of having to scrape the top off for pigmentation. (The very reason why I dtopped trying out Bourjois stuff.)

However, Chanel and Stila changed my mind. I have not experienced with Euro Chanel Joues Contrastes or Stila baked eye shadows turning hard rocks. Therefore, I’d keep an eye on the baked eye shadows from Pupa.

But like you, I think that packaging is not good. Pupa usually has cute packaging. What happened?

Haha, don’t bin it, give it to someone!

For the price though, it doesn’t sound that different from any MAC or decent eyeshadow that I know of. I’ve been wearing hastily-applied Sleek all day, applied dry, and there’s no creases or fading, and my sweep-shape at the edge hasn’t smudged either.

Any powder shadow can be applied wet or dry! =S
