My Collection...

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers Single Eyeshadows
$3.50 at drugstores

 

French Vanilla, Champagne, #760 Tapestry Taupe

in order as above

 

French Vanilla- matte cream shade
This is a nice neutral shade I use for a brow bone highlight. Nicely pigmented but can be a bit chalky

Champagne-shimmery champagne shade
Pretty neutral (not too pink, not too gold) highlight shade. I use this shade under my brow bone or on my cheeks for a shimmery face highlight

Tapestry Taupe-shimmery taupe shade
One of my favorite taupe shades. Beautiful everyday neutral shade, very wearable

 

#445 Golden Sunrise, #730 Swiss Chocolate, #740 Brown Smolder

in order as above

 

Golden Sunrise-shimmery golden bronze shade

I like to sweep this shadow all over my lid for a pretty golden eye look.

 

Swiss Chocolate- reddish brown with fine gold shimmer

My least favorite shadow of the bunch. The pigmentation is lacking and the gold sparkle seems to just fly everywhere instead staying on my eye. Not impressed with shadow at all.  

 

Brown Smolder-matte medium brown shade

This is one of my favorite brown shades to blend into my crease, Very smooth and pigmented, great everyday shadow.

 

 

My Review...

I've found that brands like Cover Girl are very hit and miss. Some of these shades are absolute favorites in my collection and I can't be without them while others are a complete mess right from the start. My definite stand outs are Champagne, Tapestry Taupe, and Brown Smolder. The hot mess award goes to Swiss Chocolate. I had such high hopes for this shade because it looks really beautiful in the pan...but that's about it. The swatching, pigmentation, application, and fall out with this shadow is a complete nightmare. This is the only shade in the bunch that I would not repurchase.
