Nivea Pure & Natural Colours Eye Shadow for Sensitive Skin

Nivea Pure & Natural Colours Eye Shadow

First, I must disclose that I received this product free, in exchange for an honest, unbiased, and quality review. I received my Nivea Pure & Natural Colours Eye Shadow for Sensitive Skin from Toluna on March 31, 2016. I received this product because I signed up to test it, which is one of the many activities that Toluna offers to get opinions from consumers.

Copied from the back of the label: "Eye Shadow with organic butterfly bush. 100% free of preservative, talc, and fragrance. Natural satin colors. For sensitive skin. Compatibility ophthalmologically approved. Upon peeling the label up to see the ingredients, I loved that I could almost recognize everything. The exceptions were Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Kaolin, & Tocopheryl Acetate. Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate is an amber liquid made from naturally occuring fatty acids, and is often used in cosmetics to slow sweating. Kaolin is a white clay. Tocopheryl Acetate is a man-made vitamin E, used in cosmetics for skin hydration. The rest of the ingredients seemed to be types of herbs.

Unfortunately, I have very soft lighting in my house, so I don't know if you can even tell that I have the Nivea Pure & Natural Colours Eye Shadow for Sensitive Skin on. The one I received is a very light color for me, and shows up on me as a frosted eye shadow. It appeared frosty and white. I had to apply three coats for the pink tint to show.

So, how does the Nivea Pure & Natural Colours Eye Shadow for Sensitive Skin stack up?

Pros- It is for my skin type and did not irritate my eyelids or eyes period. Even though it is kind of light for my complexion, I still like it. It's a cute color that I still was able to make work. It came with a little applicator brush, which is always a plus. It comes in a small, travel sized case that is easy to take with you. It glides on very silky. It has cute, garden pattern. Less is more when it comes to make-up for me, so I love neutral/earth tone colors. This was my cup of tea, so to speak. I feel made up but not over-done.

Cons- It is very messy. I am very heavy-handed, so I went to town on this eye shadow, thinking I would have to press hard to get some on the applicator brush. It broke up really bad inside of the container. This would make a mess in my cosmetic bag. 

So, would I buy Nivea Pure & Natural Colours Eye Shadow for Sensitive Skin? Yeah, you bet I would!!! I really tried not to be biased but this is EYE SHADOW, and I'm a lady with a love for it. I would just choose a different color. <laughs>
