What are the best brands of drugstore loose shadows/pigments?
So far I've tried the testers of GOSH and Barry M and they were both great. I'm a cheapo though so recomendations welcomed!
Although I don't think there's gunna be much cheaper than £4.50 (Barry M)

I have some of the Loreal HIP pigments. I thought they were good at first but now I just think they are a rip off. They fade in the sun!

Yeah, Loreal is nearly as expensive as MAC and nowhere near as good in quality.

I've found nothing like that at my drugstore. I've never even seen a pigment there (and I've been looking for one!)

Its not drugstore, but you should be able to find it easily.

Stargazer have some loose shadows and stuff a la these which are only £3.

dunno if its what you're looking for tho

Barry M is fantastic. I have loads of their loose shadows, they blend so nicely

Yeah, Barry M is fantastic, I have almost 40 of their Dazzle Dusts, but Collection 2000 (available in Boots and Superdrug) do Dazzle Me, which are loose eyeshadows. You get a huge amount and the colours come out really well and blend well when used with a base. They are £2.99 but there are often deals on them. Also 3 new colours have just been brought out. You should check them out. x x

oh ive heard those are good too.

shame i can use loose stuff...i end up covered in it. altho i rarely use eyeshadow in general so..

Kiki, you should press loose pigments if you have a problem with using loose eyeshadow

but i also couldnt use them, I mean i was a complete retard with them but it just takes practise!!!

nah im just useless with makeup full stop
cept eyeliner.

thats why i wanna steal half the girlies on here to come live with me and do my makeup

Its more eyeshadow than pigment but the colours are really strong and beautiful AND their reasonably cheap. www.fyrinnae.com

I have a Stargazer eye dust in a dark blue (the shade is No. 2) and its niiiiiice. I really like it. It has held up pretty well for me, wet or dry.

I bought a green Collection 2000 'Dazzle Me!' pigment (Pixie, shade No. 3), and it's ok for the price I paid. I've only used it once and it seemed to hold up, although the quality is pretty obvious.... it's not great. I would have to try it again though.

Did the stargazer blend well? The pressed ones dont.
Mehh I'm gunna have to wait till me or one of my friends goes to Camden to get those..
Fyrrinae looks nice, but I hardly see it on ebay and that's the only place I can get stuff online.

I just buy it directly from the site using my dad's credit card. I've never had problems.

I wish i had stargazer here....

I really like a couple of Milani's shadows. Theres a blue that is really bright and amazing.
