I'm bad at matching eyeshadows so I like palettes over single eyeshadows. Plus, it's easier to bring 1 palette out than several separate eyeshadows =/ There are about 7 of these Elf palettes in my drawer and this has become my utmost favourite among them since dark eyes are just my thing.
The Elf Brightening Eye Colours come with 4 shades, a sucky applicator (better use your fingers) and a mirror so small, it's unusable. IMO, 4 eyeshadow shades for RM 6.50 is just ridiculous!
The cream shade is the perfect highlighter shade for me. From the name, I suppose you could use this to transform a day look to a night look just by adding the dark gray.
Now.. For a measly RM 1+ per colour, the quality has gotta be really bad, right?
WRONG!
Okay.. Fine.. Without primer, it's chalky and the cream barely shows plus the purple isn't really purple but I'm sure you can afford their primer which is also RM 6.50.. When applied above a primer, it's smooth and pigmented yet easy to blend.
These are from my Refa roadshow job. I actually wore this for a few days and got numerous compliments ^_^
Paired with black eyeliner and lots of mascara~
It lasted all the way from 8 am til 10 pm. That's more than 12 hours! Definitely something I can wear to work and not worry about it fading. It's so tiny and portable too ^_^

I do but I have not used it since I'm not too impressed.. (also, I'm bad at black smokeys lol) Will see what I can do =)
@ queerpinkfish
Elf doesn't but you can get spree holders to order them for you. Elf sends it to a US address who then sends it to the spree holder who distributes it to us.
I love this, it's simply AMAZING for the price! I still can't believe it every time I use it!
