Swatches of them
From left to right: (Note, they're actually named eyeliner first and then shadow stick but I swatched them in shadow/eyeliner order)
Green/Moss, Brown/Basic, Black/Smoke, Plum/Purple, Pearl/Glow
Green/Moss has a really nice olive-green liner that has a gorgeous metallic sheen and the green shadow stick is a nice moss color.
Brown/Basic's brown liner is a little bit darker and the basic shadow stick is a little bit more copper.
Black/Smoke fits its name perfectly. There's some shimmer in the black liner that didn't show up well in the pictures and the smoke shadow stick is a nice blue grey color.
Black/Smoke, Plum/Purple, Pearl/Glow
Plum/Purple is named a bit strangely, I don't think the purple shadow stick is purple at all. It's more of a brown-plum with gold shimmer.
Pearl/Glow has a shadow stick that's a bit more warmer in tone but on my skin it actually just swatches the same.
Longevity on both halves leave much to be desired. Wear time on the shadow sticks is bad. As in I had creasing in 10 minutes, no primer. The shadow sticks are also a bit greasy on the lid so it makes getting a even line difficult with the eyeliner because it slips around easily.
The liners don't last that great on my lower lashline before sinking into lines and I get transfer onto my eyelid when it's on my upper lashline even with a primer underneath. I tested four out of the six and I got transferring on all four. I love the colors but don't like how it transfers.
I actually won the entire set of colors but there was a bit of a mishap with Midnight/Blue that I only noticed once I opened it up. The shadow stick is completely missing from the shadow stick half. I emailed ELF and they sent me a $3 online giftcard to make up for the broken one.
Have you guys tried these before?
