On my never ending quest for the unicorn. (The Sonia Kashuk Highlighter Brush) I wandered through the cosmetic aisles in Target hoping I would find something inexpensive to quell my hunger for new makeup. Then I saw it. Taupe! Taupe Eyeshadow! How could I resist?
Sonia Kashuk eyeshadow single in Burnished is a VERY close dupe to BECCA Lame eyeshadow. It's a nice brownish-greyish taupe with microshimmer.
So here's the 411 on the shadow.
While it's similar to Becca Lame it's hardly a dupe. It's harder than BECCA (but really what shadow isn't?) and tends to be ever so slightly warmer than BECCA too.
All in All I think it is lovely and a nice addition to my Taupe Family. I know I will get a lot of use out of it!
Today I am wearing it with BECCA Chantilly and MAC Brassbeat Liquidlast Liner (My favorite taupe liquid liner)
This is now added to my list when I make my weekly pilgrimage to the Target. I swear, I have had more lemmings fed fromt his blog lately than any other!!! Also, I am insanely jealous you found BB Shimmering Nudes @ your CCO.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely taupe. I think Pink Traincase featured it too. It is definitely a must have.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I found the SK highlighting brush at a Target in Montclair/Woodbridge area. Call around to see if they still have in there. It's the newer Target in that area.
Dude I LOVE Brassbeat =D great EOTD!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I just ordered the Dior Earth Tones quint with the eGC you sent me a month ago. Thanks!! It's my present to myself for the beginning of the school year...and now I need to make a UD F&F order as my second present lol! =) I figured UD Gash l/s and l/l will look INCREDIBLE with the quint.
I seem to have developed a thick skin against eyeshadow lemmings lately- good thing, with all your taupey goodness pics!
ReplyDeleteI took a chance a called my MAC counter to see if they still had the Volcanic Ash- no luck. :-( I haven't called the CCO... I'm afraid to, 'cause if they say that they have it, then I'll have to drive up there and get it! :-P I did email the MAC CS though, to beg & plead. :-)
A woman after my own heart! I love deep taupes.

ReplyDeletet: Hey! I'll have to check out Pink Traincase's review of it. I enjoy the search for the unicorn. having a CP would make it less of a challenge. I may have to go out to IKEA so maybe I'll stop in Woodbridge on the way there. Thanks for the tip!
Joey: I love brassbeat! The perfect taupe liner. and it wears like iron too! Yea for Dior Earth Tones. Would love to know how it works for you!
