Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Eye Shadow

          I haven't been shopping for quite some time at a beauty store. So I decided to get myself something little as a treat. I was walking near my favorite brands and I remember seeing this Josie Maran eye shadow before, but at the time I was not really interested in trying it.  The way this shadow separated (water on the top and shadow on the bottom) does not look like it would apply well. Also, I didn't have a lot of time to look at it closely so I didn't consider buying it. 

          This time around though I had a bit more time to look the shadow and a coconut water shadow is kind of interesting since I have never used one before so I decided to give this shadow a chance. The store had four colors and I carefully dabbed a little bit of each shadow on the top of my hand (I shook the bottle to mix the shadow and water). I went with rio de rose gold after testing out the colors. 

           This eye shadow is packaged in a glass bottle and has a cap on it, while the applicator(like ones used in lipgloss) is packed separately.  I shook the bottle to mix the contents well before applying. The directions said that a little goes a long way so I lightly dipped the applicator in the shadow. I used the applicator and dotted the shadow on my eyes. Then, I used my ring finger to blend the shadow. This eye shadow feels cool and is a shimmery pink gold ( looks more like a peachy gold on me). Unlike my shimmery powder eye shadows, the shimmer from this coconut watercolor does not fall out (so nice). I'm actually glad to have tried this out because I got more than I expected. This is truly the most unique eye shadow that I have ever owned so far.

P.s. I thought this shadow was made using coconut oil the first time that I saw it. (-_-'||)
