I find that a lot of drugstore brands are really stepping up their game these days. Maybe not packaging wise, but with their eye-catching shades and surprisingly nice quality. I’d still like to see some pretty packaging, but I suppose it really doesn’t matter if the quality is there along with nice shade selections.
e.l.f. had recently sent me a nice box of goodies. This beautiful little duo in the shade Tea For Two along with another in the shade Peach Squad really stood out. I just couldn’t wait to dig in and swatch them. The duos come with a shimmery shade and a matte shade. I found them both to be soft and nicely pigmented. The shimmery shade was more pigmented than the matte and it pops even more when you apply with a dampened brush. The matte was a little on the powdery side and needed some building up, but it built up rather nicely. You can probably tell from my swatch.
Overall, I’m really impressed with these duos. I think the shades are gorgeous and compliment each other nicely. You can see a look I created with Tea For Two below. e.l.f. suggests applying the matte shade on the lid and the shimmery shade in the crease. I didn’t apply the shimmery shade with a dampened brush because I wanted to go with a much softer look. I’m very happy with how it turned out.
You can find these nifty little duos on the e.l.f. Cosmetics website. There are 5 shades to choose from and they are $3.00 each.
What a bargain & tey are both really pretty shades! xx

A bargain indeed! :)
I think these shades look gorgeous and deff ones I would wear. I know what u mean about the packaging not being so great but I would rather them all keep the prices cheaper. I have my fancy packaging on hughend stuff so I can deal with cheap packaging for my drugstore stuff. Love the look u created girl!!!!
I can agree with that! And thank you, Julie! :)
I don’t like using too many eyeshadows at a time, so for me duos are perfect. I love my duos from NARS and this sounds like a nice budget alternative.

Oh I have a few of the NARS duos too. I love them! It’s definitely nice to have a budget friendly alternative though! :)
The shimmery shade is beautiful! Looks lovely on you. I agree, the drugstore brands are really going head to head with the mid-priced brands. I think it’s a good thing, some competition to get everyone to up their game!
