e.l.f Eye Transformer Palette

Today's post will be a short review on the e.l.f. Eye Transformer Palette. This was another birthday gift from my lovely sister (Happy Birthday to her, btw!) and I'm glad she gave it to me because otherwise I wouldn't have known it existed. I've never seen it reviewed or talked about elsewhere so it was brand spanking new to me. The palette consists of 4 very pale, pearly shades and comes with a small, stiff brush.

 At first glance, the colors aren't exactly impressive but they're not really meant to be used alone. According to the package, "Wear alone or in combination with your favorite dark eyeshadow or line color to transform the shade." And as you can see in the photo, when swatched over a dark color (in this case Nyx's Jumbo Eye Pencil in Dark Chocolate)the shades really do come to life. I also applied each color to my eyes to get a better idea of what they would look like:

 I was most impressed with the green and purple/blue colors - they popped the most on top of the dark base. The other two were more muted, but still pretty. It's definitely a fun concept to be able to change your shadow color but the extra step doesn't seem like it would necessarily be worth it. If I want any of the colors in the photo above, I would be more likely to just choose them from an eyeshadow palette instead of creating them myself. Still, not a bad little palette and for $3.00, it's worth it just to play around.
