Laura Geller Baked Eye Shadows Review

I purchased the Laura Gellar Baked Vanilla Nudes collection a while ago from QVC. I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the foundation, blush and eye shadow, so I ended up picking up a few more of the LG eye shadows.

Shade Descriptions:
Vanilla Toffee – a shimmery caramel
Black Cherry – a black-cherry bronze
Blue Heaven – light blue, violet, sea foam green, black
Spumoni – a warm beige-pink
Sinful Praline – light brown with charcoal swirls
Macchiato – bronze with gold and copper swirls
Fruit Tart – olive green gold

The Website Claims:
The eye shadow and liner duo starts as a swirl of liquid pigments that are poured onto terracotta pans and baked for 24 hours. The result is an extremely fine powder that’s silky smooth to the touch, with a dewy fresh look that adapts perfectly to each individual complexion. Easy and goof-proof, this eye shadow and liner glide on with a fluidity that creates a smooth, flawless line.

Blue Heaven

Does it live up to its claims?
Yes. I think these are truly gorgeous. The baking really does impart a smooth, pigmented, multidimensional color that I thought was only available in loose mineral eye shadows. I could not get over how gorgeous Vanilla Toffee and Black Cherry turned out when worn, nor how beautiful Blue Heaven and Sinful Praline & In Spumoni are. I also really love Fruit Tart. Macchiato is nice.

Vanilla Toffee & Black Cherry

Would I purchase again?
Yes! I absolutely love the way one of these eye shadows can give such a gorgeous, multi-dimensional look. They’re very smooth, pigmented, silky and long wearing. I truly had no idea I’d love these so much and I’m glad I was finally turned on to Laura Geller.
