I wasn't a fan of Mally's. Don't know if it was the shades or the shimmer effect, though I haven't tried the mattes. I do like the Make Up Forever at Sephora. Color last, lots of shades and what they call shimmer is very subdued. They have the perfect shade of a khaki green that I love.

@Dazlin    I did a little snooping...and it appears that most of the department stores don't currently have it.  I do see that Walmart.com has it though.  I  wouldn't have normally looked there but I was ordering something else and decided to check to see if they carry Clinique...apparently they have it.  🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm looking into trying an eyeshadow stick...I've never used them before.  I've searched a few, and see ingredients may play an important part.  Bobby Brown,  or Laura Mercia seem to have more emollients...is that important,  or will any shadow stick do just as good??

I'm basically only wanting a pink for the lid area...so I wouldn't want anything dry, or that tugs.  I'm not using this for a liner, more of an shadow only. Any suggestions??   They're pricey...is it worth it for such a tiny area??


 

@Dazlin   I love shadow sticks. They're creamy and most are waterproof. LM sometimes have a mini set and BB, too. 

 

There are more pink shades in the LM line, but you're correct more expensive. You only need a bit and I find it's easier to use them by applying them directly to lid...skip the brush since it wastes product. Do one eye at a time since they dry quickly and blend with fingers. 

 

They can also be used as a lid primer for a powder shadow. 

 

Laura Mercier's Rose Gold is a beautiful shade of pink w/ a bit of shimmer. Her Blossom is a pink matte. Bobbi Brown's pinks are Pink Sparkle (cool) and a warm pink is Pink Sparkle. BB matte shades are Malted Pink (a bit darker pink neutral) and Shell, a lighter neutral pink.

 

IMO, Mally's sticks have a lot of shimmer...too much for my taste.
