Since the smokey is so in right now, and ocasionally can be hard to master, I was very excited when DuWop came out with Smoke, “the easiest way to get sultry bedroom eyes – a user-friendly palette…” I recently purchased the black/gold palette with high hopes.

Now, let me start by saying that I wanted to like this palette, I really did. And some of you reading this may think that I’m a harsh critic, but I’m not – I just have standards, espcially when I’m spending good money for these products. So, I used it several times with the hopes that my opinon would change, and I’d somehow have the hottest smokey eyes going, but I didn’t. The eye shadow is nice, but the eye liner is bascially non-existent. It’s sort of waxy, doesn’t apply well, and isn’t bold enough.

I felt a lot better about my conclusion about this product when I was just talking to a fellow beauty junkie on IM. Without even knowing what I thought about the product, here’s what she said: “I hate the eyelinner too! It is too sheer and the color is just wrong on me -I thought it would be fun/different and it just makes me look tired.”

Like I said, the eyeshadow is nice, but not worth $28. So, to my disapointment, I haven’t found the secret to creating the perfect eye yet. Have you?
