Konad iloje Flobu Eye Shadow in ‘ #002 White Pearl’

It’s been a while since my last review. Today, I’m going to review my current favorite eye shadow that I’ve been using since the past 2 weeks. This is from the brand Konad iloje Flobu (I still haven’t figured out the pronunciation for this interesting name!). I bought the White Pearl shade since I needed a new highlighter.

Packaging:
A hard plastic see through packaging that protects the eye shadow from falling and/or breaking.

Shades available:
Konad iloje Flobu eye shadows come in 10 shades : White, White Pearl, Soft gray, Dark Grey, Black, Romantic Pink, Pink Pearl, Ultra Violet, Evergreen and Chocolate.

My Experience with this eye shadow:

This White Pearl eye shadow is silky smooth, blends amazingly, and has a brilliant pigmentation. I love how it doesn’t crease without a primer even in the humid monsoons of Mumbai. I applied this on my eye lid at around 11 am and it stayed put till 10 pm at night after which it needed a slight touch up.

It can be used as a highlighter for the brown bones, inner tear duct area and also on the cheekbones. However, this shade might be too white for a medium skin tone and may wash down the skin tone. Dark skinned women may use this as a lid color and not as a brow bone highlighter since it has a tendency to look slightly chalky. This doesn’t happen on a fairer skin tone, but if intensified it gets chalky and the pearl finish doesn’t shine through.

Over all, I love this eye shadow and I can’t wait to get my hands on the other shades. Considering the extremely affordable price, quantity and quality, these eye shadows are a must try!

Price:

Rs. 130
