I'm just like any other typical, normal girl with a need for make up. I get this weird urge like I need it. Even if I don't, my alter ego takes over and hits the purchase button. Well, I know morphe has been trending like crazy and I wanted to jump on that band wagon. I mean for the price, who wouldn't?!
Well, this is where my story begins. I was recently watching a youtube video because I stalk the shit out of beautiful girls on the internet who tell me which make up to buy, who else is with me on this?? When I found a video on a tutorial I liked, she was of course using the morphe 350 palette, which everyone knows is a bitch to get your hands on. So I went with the 35W palette. Seemed like more of a palette that I tend to go towards so I figured it would be a perfect staple in my palette museum. $19.99 is all that bad boy cost me. I hit that purchase button and wished like hell it would appear in my mailbox overnight. The one downside to online shopping.... anticipation. I anxiously awaited the arrival of my new beauty, I tracked my shipping like a hawk. Then finally, it was out for delivery. I could smell the mailman coming up my street. Before he could put it in my mailbox I ripped it from his little mailman hands, ran inside (heavily breathing), ripped open the box... yes your palette, or at least mine came in a box, and instantly swatched every single eyeshadow until my arm looked like a bob ross piece. The colors were beautiful, I couldn't wait to put them on my eyes. I also decided to buy a few eyeshadow brushes from them as well, which thats a whole nother story.
The next day I pulled open the palette and got to work. You know when you get a new palette and you cant decide which one to wear or which ones go well with another, so you just use all of them. Yeah, that pretty much happened to me haha. They went on very great, I did however notice a few went on a bit choppy and the purple/burgundy colors weren't as pigmented as I'd hope. Also, these eyeshadows had a horrible smell. I don't know if I got a bad batch, but they smelled very plastic-y and like chemicals. Which isn't to big of a deal considering they are going on my eyes so I'm not really smelling them throughout the day.
When I was blending the eyeshadow my eye became really sensitive, almost like a burning sensation. I thought it may have been the brushes I was using and that the hair may have been to rough. So I switched brushes and the feeling was still there. I bared through the pain, because beauty is pain or pain is beauty, however you say that gay romeo and juliet bullshit.
I then applied my eyeliner, mascara, etc. and was finally finished. The burning feeling was still there and at this point it was almost unbearable. As I was finishing up my hair I noticed my eyes were extremely red and starting to get puffy. I knew it had to of been from the eyeshadow because everything else I have used before. Once I rinsed off my masterpiece, that took me all damn day to do, my eyes looked like someone had stabbed them with forks. It burned so bad that I had to put eye drops and a cold rag over them to ease the pain. Now, I'm not sensitive to anything. My skin puts up a good fight, but this time the eyeshadow won. I have no idea what those eyeshadows are made out of, but itching powder and cayenne pepper may be a few.
I was sooooo upset. Everybody loves these palettes, howcome it didn't work out for me? If this happened to you, I would like to know so I can share my pain with you. I guess cheap palettes and my eyes don't go hand in hand.
