If you have been itching for some really cool, fresh new type of makeup for this Holiday season I think PUR Cosmetics has filled that bill. I recently received their new Eye Polish to try out, and after playing with them for a week or so, I’m ready to give you the low down.
PUR Cosmetics Eye Polish is such an interesting and versatile product and they are really like nothing I’ve ever tried before. They can be used in a few different ways such as: alone as a cream shadow for a vibrant iridescent look, as a base for other shadows for a deep dramatic effect, or as a top coat for added shimmer and depth. Each Eye Polish comes with a latex free silicone applicator and a mini instructional guide.
The product itself is a thin pure-pigment liquid that is intensely pigmented. (Think like how a loose shadow is, only this is liquid.) The hard plastic jar has a mesh screen and a raised circular shape in the cap that pushes the mesh down, which collects the pigment, each time you open and close it. I have tried to apply them using a few different methods, but I found that the silicone applicator gives you the boldest and most opaque color. The pigment can be applied with a regular eyeshadow brush, but the result is much more sheer. Also, when they are applied with the applicator provided I hardly got any fallout, which made me really happy since most shimmery shadows are notorious for that. They also wore extremely well, with no creasing or fading for 6-8 hours on me!
- Cashmere – Shimmery Champagne
- Velvet – Plush Amethyst
- Silk – Prism Copper (One of my favorites)
- Caviar – Lavish Black with Gold Karat Flecks. (This is insanely gorgeous!)
- Satin – Sheer Crystal Pink
- Suede – Earthy Seductive Neutral Brown
These are quite difficult to blend out (for me), so I think that they work best when they are applied strategically on the lid and or brow bone. I love the shimmering effect that they have though, the light really seems to catch my eye when I am wearing these and the colors are all very flattering and wearable. They retail for $26 each and you can find them at PUR Cosmetics, Ulta and Kohl’s. These, and all PUR products are cruelty free.

These are rather unique! I should try at least one shade
I’ve got the two lightest ones and the sparkle on them is beautiful. Plus it doesn’t migrate. I didn’t end up with the silicone brush so I’ve been using a taklon flat brush without a problem. I love your swatches.

These are gorgeous. They would be nice as a pop of shimmer on the lid or brow bone.

The colors are gorgeous. Too bad they’re so hard to blend though.

These drew me to them at Ulta a couple of weeks ago. I think they’re stunning. The consistency of these reminds me of the dual=ended Revlon shadows with glitter that I bought last holiday season. Like you, I thought these would be difficult/impossible to blend but for an all over eyelid look, I thought they would work. The shades are stunning. I want a couple!

They are kind of like those Allison but slightly more shimmery. My faves are Silk, Suede and Cashmere for everyday looks but they are all so pretty!
