Review : Innisfree Mineral Single Shadow #11

Helllo friends! I'm back for another daily dose of reviews! Today, I will be reviewing a make up product that's under Innisfree. In the photos that I provide, the eye shadow might be a bit different...I tried to break the eye shadow and stir up the bottom to compress it back to one piece. When I was doing my prom make up, I was in a rush and kept on using one brush without cleaning it and dipping it into all of my eye shadows.. Now my light colored eye shadows have a tint of another color in it. But I will provide the original picture and the picture of it now for you guys to see. It kind of had a brown-shimmer eye shadow on it after I finished using it. Today's item that I'll be reviewing is the...
Innisfree Mineral Single Shadow #11

First Impressions
This product did not interest me that much when I saw it online but I ordered it because I wanted to try out one of Innisfree's eye make up. Normally, I only purchase skin care products from them because they're more of a natural ingredient using-brand but I wanted to give it a try. Through their variety of single eye shadows, this blue shade stood out the most to be because the options that were given to me (through TesterKorea) were mostly matte or shimmery browns/creams/pinks/tans. I like to get some cool colors added to my collection because they match with most of my clothes and also, they give you a unique look. This eye shadow was pretty inexpensive, about... $4 USD max. This item wasn't as important to me when I made the order because I also bought different eye shadows from different brands like Etude House, Missha and Aritaum at the time.
This is the original l color and the selection that I saw online when purchasing
Texture/PigmentationWhen I first got the item, I kept "swatching" it and the texture was pretty rough, sandy and gritty. It was not creamy or jelly-like like I'd prefer.. But after using the item for the first time on the day of prom, it became really soft and creamy. I prefer this over sandy/rough because it makes the product last longer and makes applying it easier. The product isn't really strong on pigmentation and you'd have to swipe at it a few times to get it's true color. If you only go through it once or twice, you'd only get the shimmer glitter that's on it. When you go through it and fully get the color, it'll come on as a lilac-blue shimmer that has an iridescent glow around it.
ProsI really like this eye shadow after using it. I was pretty surprised by how well it came on when I was applying it. Normally, when dry/sandy eye shadows like this (at first) are applied, they do not have a lot of pigmentation and they do not apply evenly. For this eye shadow, after rubbing my eye shadow brush into it for awhile, it became really creamy and melted on my eyes, making it last longer. The amount of time that it stayed on my eyes was ridiculously great. I applied the eye shadow on around 12PM and it lasted all the way until 1AM on the day of my prom. My prom had terrible conditions to it too; the humid/hot weather and the pouring rain/wind. For the price of this item, I was surprised it could last this long. I also like how it came on as an iridescent color and shined really well in the light. The iridescence made you look friendlier when applied in the center and inner tear of your eyes. Most shadows do not become creamy after it started out as gritty so that's always a bonus. It also comes in a single container and the metal tray that it is on is tightly glued down unlike the Etude House Look at my Eyes shadows.
ConsThis item had a con of starting out as a gritty and sandy shadow. And it also really got mixed in with my other eye shadow (maybe that's my fault..). Another problem I had with it was that it isn't really pigmented so I kept on having to go through it several times to get my desired color.
Ratings
4 out of 5! This product is a really good product to lighten up your make up and make you look fresh and friendly! It's iridescence gives you this special look. When I wore it, it lasted for over 12 hours through thick and thin weather. This color works with almost any color because of it's light but cool glow. I feel like it really awakened my eyes when it was on. The only problem I had with it is that it lacks pigmentation and takes a lot to get the actual desired color. But other than that, it really satisfied me. It also feels pretty cool when you put it on, if that makes sense. It's perfect for an elegant look or just a fresh summer look!
