Welcome back, cult members.
Beauty Brief
💄WHAT I TRIED: MAC Dazzleshadow Eye Shadow Stick in “White Gold,” a cream eyeshadow stick with a pearl base and a chunky gold glitter. It retails for $28 at Ulta.
Why It Works: This stick is sparkly. The base is sheer, and the heavy glitter makes it perfect over matte shadows.
Why It Doesn’t: The glitter has a lot more fallout than I would expect from a MAC product. I’m also disappointed this isn’t a “one and done” shadow — it’s definitely more of a topper.
Worth It? Eh. If you really love the color and have Ulta points to burn, sure. But the price is way too high for the quality.
