Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly Shadow #1 Review

Hello everyone! Today I have a review on Holika Holika's Aqua Petit Jelly Eyeshadow in #1.






After I tried the Aqua Petit Jelly BB cream I wanted to try something else from the line so I chose this shadow. They come in four shades- white, purple, pink, and green. I got the white one because I thought it was the most wearable color and often I like to wear just a bit of white eyeshadow on my eyes with mascara.



The shadow comes in a little frosted glass jar with a blue cap. For a single shadow it's a good size and when you use it you only need a small dot because it spreads easily. One thing I didn't quite expect is how shimmery the shadow is. The glitter in it is large and the shadow is full of it. So what I like to do is to use a thin brush and use the shadow as a glitter liner on my lower lash line around my inner corner. Sometimes I also add some to my lids for a sheer sparkle.

When I think of jelly I think of something moist but once the shadow is spread out is dries so the staying power is good. Here are some swatches:


If you prefer subtle looks then you'll probably want something else but if you want to brighten up your eyes with some glitter then go for it!
