Do Your Little Turn on the Catwalk with Jesse's Girl's Runway Eye Shadow Collection

I may be showing my age with my title reference, but that's totes the first thing I thought of when I saw Jesse's Girl Cosmetics' new Runway Eye Shadow Collection. That followed my several oh em gees for how gorgeous the colors looked and how perfectly they paired them together. This collection features six eyeshadow trios that truly wow in more ways than one!

• Los Angeles - Apricot beige {pearl}, dusty rose {satin}, rich chocolate brown {matte}.
• Paris - Creamy vanilla {matte}, light turquoise blue {satin}, deep ocean blue {matte}.
• Milan - Sheer lilac with silver flecks {shimmer}, creamy mauve pink {satin}, black {matte}.
• New York - Creamy beige {matte}, peachy gold {pearl}, medium hunter green {matte}.
• London - Pale pink {pearl}, lavender pink {satin}, deep eggplant purple {matte}.
• Tokyo - Nude pink {matte}, salmon pink {satin}, light honey brown {satin}.

Packaging

The packaging is simple, yet elegant thanks to its glossy black case and push-button opening. I love how the front has a large window with which to see the shades inside, and how the logo is cleanly printed without distracting. The rear label is informative with the trio name, net weight and ingredients. The quality is far from "cheap", as in I don't have to worry about the lid cracking, and a few of these have even survived a fall or two thanks to my clumsiness. I'm thrilled to report the window has a holographic effect when at an angle! These trios do not include any applicator, but I can easily fit a small sponge applicator near the hinge and still close the lid! {I prefer Up & Up Shadow Applicators - great quality and super inexpensive!}

Texture/Pigmentation/Application

While each trio differed slightly in texture and application, each trio was consistent in terms of pigmentation. Considering I'm a fan of drugstore makeup, I'd like to think I've seen my fair share of winners and losers, and let me tell you... the Runway Eye Shadow Collection is a winner! I am seriously so impressed with the pigmentation and ease-of-use from these shadows, especially considering their very budget-friendly price point!

Some shades kicked up more product than others when loading them onto my brush, but they applied to the eye as they appear in the pan, were beautifully pigmented while layering well for a more dramatic effect, and blended nicely without sheering away or splotching. I love the variety of finishes and how Jesse's Girl arranged them per trio. {There's nothing worse than a chunky glitter bomb highlight, am I right?} I enjoyed the buttery smooth textures and effortless application.

Trio Recommendations

While there are certainly trios that lean more strictly on the neutral side of the color wheel, the other more colorful trios aren't ones to turn a neutral girl like myself away. They're wearable colors, and thanks to Jesse's Girl's pairings, it takes the guesswork out of what other shades to use with them! If you're looking for more earth-toned trios, try Los Angeles, New York and/or Tokyo. If you're looking for more color, try London, Milan and/or Paris.

Note: My eyelids are extremely oily, so I can't report on their wear without a primer. However, with an eyeshadow primer, they hold up wonderfully well!

In conclusion, I have not been this excited about an eyeshadow collection in quite a long time! I can't stress enough how amazing the Runway Eye Shadow Collection is, and I highly recommend picking up not just one, but the whole collection! Each eyeshadow offers something different, and they all pair well with one another in different looks. I used a shadow from five of the six trios for my eye look today! {Ex. Crease, contour, lid, highlight, eyeliner.} Oh, and the icing on the cake? Jesse's Girl products are cruelty-free!

I'm not too sexy for Milan, New York and.... Tokyo?
