I was sent two single shadows from HOT cosmetics to review. nr. 30 and nr.39.
Price: 119DKK currently on sale for 49DKK here
Packaging: A convenient sized matte black squared container. Very sleek and travel friendly. You get a good amount of product: 2,63 grams / 0,09 oz. The container seems very sturdy. I had a hard time opening it the first couple of times, but at least it won't open in your makeup bag. When the eyeshadow first arrive they will come in in a small box. On the box is an ingredients list and the number of the colour. I do wish they would put the number on the colour on the back of the eyeshadow as well so I wont have to open every single shadow to find the right one.
Nr. 30: Is a pale shimmery green with some golden shine to it. It's quite sheer and will be good for applying all over the lid, blending it up towards the browbone. I used this together with a darker green for a green smokey eye.
Nr. 39: Is a very pigmented bright pink eyeshadow. It's almost matte with just a slight hint of something pealy. This is VERY pigmented. I paired this with a matte bright yellow to make a cool yellow/orange/pink summer eye. It's slightly warmer on colour and more true pink in real life. It comes off a little more purple and cool toned in my picture.

Staying power: All my eyeshadows crease on me if I do not wear a primer, and these shadows are no exception. Wear a good primer underneath and they will last you the whole day. I find them very easy to blend.
These shadows are certainly worth the price and I will definatle need to buy some more shades to try out. You get a good amount of product in just the right sized container and if you are into bright bold colours these are definatley for you.
Hot makeup can be found at Sephora and Douglas, they are currently planning on expanding to UK, Norway, Sweden, Germany and France.
