Jesse's Girl Pure Pigment Eye Dusts

I'm a sucker for eyeshadows.  BUT...believe it or not, I've never used pigments.  (*gasp*)

It's not that I don't like them.  I actually have several of them from a few MAC holiday sets I purchased some time ago.  I just never really took the time to learn how to utilize them.

Recently though, I noticed this cute inexpensive product line at my local Rite Aid called "Jesse's Girl".  I was tempted to pick up a few items, because, well...that's what make-up junkies do - cop cute little scores at all costs and opportunities (<----well maybe not all costs and opportunities).  However, I managed to talk myself out of it and pick up a few new Wet & Wild lip shades to ease my cravings (<----more on those later).

So...I go home...feeling good about my ability to stave off yet another temptation in the face of danger (*cue dramatic music*), and I hop on YouTube.

Bad move.

Next thing I know, my little hungry fingers are typing in the words 'Jesse's Girl' and a video by @start2finishmua is popping up!  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bUs9QJMJpI) Grrrrr.... Worse yet, there she is, in all of her YouTube guru beauty, giving this product line, and the eye dusts over which I was drooling in particular, a great review.  Double-Grrrrr!!

Three days later, here I sit, four gorgeous pans of delectable makeup candy staring me down like nobody's business.  Allow me to introduce my new friends...
                                           
                                          JESSE'S GIRL PURE PIGMENT EYE DUSTS

                                     Clockwise (L to R): Key Lime, Ultra Violet, Trouble Maker, Penny Arcade

Ahhhh...once again...I am in luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuub!  Yes, I said "lub"!

Here's my take:

PROS

• Vibrant & very true to color
• A lot of product to last you a while (as with most pigments)
• Extremely blendable
• Easy to wash off (I didn't even need any make-up remover)
• Cheap (These retailed for $4.99 at my store, but others have discovered them for as low as $2.99)

CONS

• Packaging (I had to remove the sticker with the respective shade names in order to open the pots. Ultimately I was smart enough to place them on the bottom of the pans, but I wish all make-up companies would recognize how much easier it is for the end user if they just did this to begin with.)
• Sifter was weird & hard to remove/handle (Perhaps this could be the result of me being a 'pigment novice' but I'm pretty sure there could/should have been a better way to factor that part into the product design.)

My favorite out of the bunch is "Trouble Maker" because, as mostly everyone knows, turquoise is like my ride or die color always.  And "Key Lime" reminds me of Sugarpill's "Absinthe", which I totally and completely heart as well.  But they're all absolutely stunning.  There are 28 shades in total, which you can get in one collective set for $92.50 USD believe it or not!  (Why did I have to find that out???  Ugh!)

Overall Rating: A-
