Good day everyone! Today I am going to review one of the Mary Kay eyeshadow palettes that a friend of mine who is a Mary Kay consultant sent to me to test out. The eyeshadow palette that I will review today is the Mary Kay Black Ice Eyeshadow Palette.
The Mary Kay eyeshadows cost less than $10 each. They are made in Canada, and they are mineral-based eyeshadows. This eyeshadow palette, the Black Ice Palette, is great for creating a smokey eye, as well as for fall and winter makeup looks.

Color: The Black Ice Eyeshadow Palette comes with four colors: A light brown shade, a white shade to use at the inner corner of the eye or underneath the brows to highlight and create contrast, a black shade (this shade is not the blackest black, but a lighter charcoal black shade), and the last shade is a silver shade, which is my personal favorite of all of these shades.
All of the shades in this palette have a lot of shimmer, except for the black shade. The black shade has a little bit of shimmer, but not nearly as much as the other shades.
Pigmentation: All of the shades in the Mary Kay Black Ice Eyeshadow Palette are very pigmented on their own, so you can wear them with or without eye primer. However, you will need to layer these eyeshadows to get the most pigmentation possible.

Long-Lasting: These eyeshadows last on my eyes all day long, even without eye primer.
Texture: The brown, white, and silver shades feel very soft to the touch, so they go onto the eye very smoothly and easily. The black shade is rougher in texture; it is not soft like the other shades, but it is not rough enough to pull or tug on the eye either. This black shade still applies fairly easily overall, but it will be a bit more work to smooth and blend out.
Packaging: The eyeshadows in this palette come in a small pan. The eyeshadows are not glued to the packaging, so make sure that you do not turn the eyeshadows upside down because they will fall out. I recommend putting these eyeshadows into a magnetic eyeshadow palette or keeping them upwards.
