This week I'm going to review 5 shadow sticks from a relatively new brand for me, Mally. Mally is a cosmetics line created by Mally Roncal, a celebrity makeup artist with many years of experience who started her own line of cosmetics 9 years ago. They are sold at QVC.com, mally's website, and at ulta online and recently at ulta stores.
The Evercolor shadowsticks are cream eyeshadows housed in a retractable mediun sized pen for convenience.
They are super creamy and once they set they stay there until you take them away. You can apply them as shadows or use them as an eyeliner, they are also the perfect size to use on the lower lash line to complete a look. As I said before, they set really nicely to prevent smudging but they give you about 30-45 seconds to blend and smudge them to create a nice blended eye look.
I bought these in a set that was available during the holidays but they are all available as separates as part of the permanent range. The five colors I have are: saddle shimmer, champagne, camo, dusk, and deep plum.

Saddle Shimmer is a dark bonzey-brown shimmery color. It is very creamy and a great color for the lid, crease, or even as a liner. It is very long lasting and a nice neutral color. Suitable for many skin tones and very workplace suitable, which is theme with all 5 of these sticks.
Champagne is a very shimmery champagne/golden color.. Great for a nice wash of color on the lid, and perfect as on inner corner highlight. It is very, very shimmery, so if you don't like shimmer this might not be for you. More shimmery than other champagne shades of powder eyeshadow, (urban decay sin and Stila Kitten) but with the same kind of uses. Great as inner corner highlight but not so much as an underbrow highlight because of its excessive shimmer, very sparkly.
Camo is a forrest green with a greyish tint and a little bit of silver shimmer. It is a very pretty dark green, great for the outer corner of the eye or for the lower lashline. I'm not a big fan of green eyeshadow and don't wear it much, green is my least favorite color, but it is good to have.
Dusk is Saddle shimmer's cousin. It is a light brown-bronze with some shimmer to it. Very pretty and very neutral. Perfect color for all over the lid as a one shadow look.
Deep plum is a dark purple color with just a tiny bit of shimmer. It is almost matte, and the little bit of shimmer it has gives dimension to the color. Absolutely amazing to complete an eye look and smudging it on the lower lash line. I have a purple problem so it is not a surprise this is one of my favorites in this set.
These shadow pencils retail for $25 each. During the holidays there are various kits with these available for a fraction of the cost. I don't remember how much I paid for these but it was about the price of one pencil. QVC usually have bundles for a lower price too!
