Stila Magnificent Metals Eyeshadow Dupe

Did you get up on the hype of the Stila Magnificent Metals eyeshadows? I know I did. However, after visiting Ulta and eyeing the price ($32), I politely put the eyeshadows back on the shelf! Lol

Metallic Gilded Gold

Although I didn’t purchase any of the eyeshadows, I fail in love with the texture and appearance of them as soon as I saw them. The consistency was velvety, seemingly with a mixture of mica flakes and glitter. They were highly pigmented and just all around gorgeous!

Fast forward to today, while browsing the makeup aisles at my local department store, I stumbled upon the E.L.F. Long-lasting Lustrous Eyeshadows. Jackpot!!! Without even opening the package, the E.L.F. eyeshadows appeared similar to the Stila metal eyeshadows.  So, I decided to open one and swatch it.  The eyeshadow had the same smooth gel consistency as the Stila eyeshadows. However, they contain more glitter. The E.L.F. shadows were very creamy in texture and are build able. I believe E.L.F. long-lasting lustrous eyeshadows are a great dupe for the Stila Magnificent Metals eyeshadows, and an item worth purchasing. You can’t go wrong when its only $3!
