e.l.f. Essential Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick ($2.00 for 0.11oz/3g) are described as creamy and richly pigmented Jumbo Eyeshadow Sticks that create natural or smoky eyeshadow looks. Infused with nourishing Vitamin E to condition the delicate eye area. The twist up component and smooth glide formula is easy to use for on-the-go beauty. These eyeshadow sticks are available in 10 shades.

These Jumbo Eyeshadow sticks are similar in look to NYX, MUFE, Urban Decay and countless other brands. And because of that I decided to try out two of these jumbo sticks.

Little Miss Thing is a soft gold with slight shimmer. This jumbo stick is nicely pigmented and applies evening to the lid. I strongly suggest an eye primer as this only wore for about 2 hours without one. When layered under an eyeshadow this wore for about 6 hours before I began to see some fading.

Feeling Lucky is a creamy deep burgundy that has this hint of coppery brown mixed in. This color is well pigmented and applies evenly onto the lid. This shade lasted about 3 hours without a base but, I strongly suggest an eye primer. When layered under an eyeshadow this jumbo stick lasted for about 6 or nine hours.

Overall, I think these are OK alternatives to the higher end versions. The colors offered are versatile and can be worn alone or under coordinating eye shadows. They have a decent lasting power but, again I strongly (no, wait it’s mandatory) suggest using an eye primer. Also I have to mention the smell of these. They smell horrible, like stinky plastic mixed with gasoline. The smell doesn’t last long but, it must be noted. These and the other 8 available shades are online now at www.eyeslipsface.com . I haven’t seen these in any of my local Target’s yet but, hopefully they will make their way there soon.

Have you tried these jumbo eyeshadow sticks yet?
