I could have easily discussed Vasanti Cosmetics as a whole, but the eyeshadows are so wonderful that I wanted to comment on them separately. As their website (http://vasanticosmetics.com/ca/) states, this company was "founded by three Canadian women, Vasanti recognizes that women have different needs when it comes to their makeup and have embraced an attitude of inclusivity in developing light-weight, easy-to-use products for all women. From highly pigmented shades to sheer washes of colour, from porcelain foundation to rich warm hues, our colours and formulas beautifully suit all skin types and tones. Vasanti Cosmetics aims to encourage women to celebrate and enhance their natural beauty."That last statement rings true to the eyeshadows - I first bought the shimmery deep brown shade called "Madrid" back in early March, right before my first trip to the city itself! At the time I bought it, I thought that this was definitely my new favourite eye shadow! Having enjoyed it so much, I noticed that they went on sale at Pharma Plus (probably for Mother's Day) and proceeded to purchase the golden peachy pink tone "Paris" (a city I have visited) and the deep pink shimmer "Tokyo" (a city I have not yet visited!).
I am super impressed with the quality of the shadows as they do not feel too 'powdery' and do not appear too shimmery. All of the colours also look great on my darker skintone, and I'm sure it will complement others, as well. I can honestly say that these shadows are even better than much pricier brands, such as Urban Decay and Smashbox (which I think are totally overrated - UD Naked Pallette, anyone? [I know I may have just committed cosmetic junkie blasphemy by that last statement, but that's how dissatisfied with that product I was])
Overall, a must try! :)
