Separate reviews for DARK PEARL and BLACK DIAMONDS
DARK PEARL
Love! I bought this because it looked like a versatile shae in swatch pics. It's intended for brown eyes but looks lovely on my blue/green eyes too. The quality blew me away, it's very pigmented and glides on beautifully. It can be built up to a higher intensity. I once used it with a primer underneath but didn't like that quite as much, it felt like it set instantly and I had no time to actually smudge it out. I also like that it can be used as an eyeliner, which makes it quite versatile.
BLACK DIAMONDS
Disappointment. After getting Dark Pearl I was keen to try another one, one for blue eyes. I got the dark one. The quality is a lot different. The glitter specks are HUGE, whereas in dark pearl it's a beautiful shimmer. It didn't apply nicely at all either, very patchy and the stick was a lot more melty and soft.
OVERALL
Pricey, some colours are better than others. Packaging looks nice but I would have prefered if it was an automatic pencil rather than one that requires sharpening. While I love Black Pearl I think I would get a cheaper alternative the next time. There are some great budget alternatives available (thinking of Rimmel Scandal Eyes for instance).
