White Russian on the Rocks

Buxom White Russian on the Rocks Eyeshadow Bar Palette ($40.00 for 0.30 oz.) includes six eyeshadows ranging from pale gold to deep plum. I wasn’t a fan of this palette; it took twice as long to apply due to how long I spent packing and patting colors on to get enough product to stay in place. Many of the eyesahdows were sheerer, dusty/powdery, and prone to fading compared to what I’ve experienced with this formula in the past.

Born Glam

Born Glam is a bright, white gold with a frosted sheen. It had good pigmentation with a soft, blendable consistency that was more loosely pressed in the pan, so there was a bit of excess product that kicked up in the pan when I used it, but it applied evenly and was not prone to sheering out on bare skin. This shade lasted for seven and a half hours on me.

Formula Overview

$12.00/0.05 oz. - $240.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "primer-infused technology" that gives it longer wear with "intense payoff" and a "powder-to-silk feel." The more shimmery shades were most consistent: semi-opaque to opaque coverage with soft, blendable textures that ranged from more loosely pressed to slightly creamier (newer shades seemed smoother and creamier) with eight to nine-hour wear.

The mattes were a little more powdery, so they were sometimes prone to sheering out but were often buildable, blendable, and easy enough to work with and also lasted around eight hours.

Gilt Trip

Gilt Trip is a pale peach with warm undertones and a soft shimmer. It had sheer coverage, which was mostly due to the texture, as it was incredibly dusty and prone to sheering out. It just did not want to adhere to my skin at all, and even over primer, it struggled to build. On me, it seemed to last four to five hours–it was hard to tell definitively as it was so sheer to begin with.

5" Stiletto

5″ Stiletto is a light-medium pink-peach with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation, but it suffered from a more powdery consistency. This resulted in sheerer coverage as soon as I tried to blend it on the lid. The only way I was able to get more opaque coverage out of it was to use it over a primer and pack it on. The color started to fade significantly after six and a half hours of wear.

White Russian with a Twist

White Russian with a Twist is a soft, peachy coral with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. The consistency was looser and a little dry in the pan, which resulted in sheerer coverage when I tried applying it to the lid. It was also hard to apply the eyeshadow evenly, as it adhered more strongly in some places and not others on me. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that lasted for six and a half hours on me.

Precious Metal

Precious Metal is a medium-dark bronzy brown with warm undertones and flecks of bronze glitter over a metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque color payoff that applied somewhat evenly to bare skin and blended out decently. The texture was chunkier and loosely pressed in the pan, which made it a messy shade to work with. The color started to fade on me after seven hours of wear.

High Society

High Society is a muted, dark plum with warm, brown undertones and flecks of plum and gold micro-shimmer over a matte finish. The pigmentation was good, while the eyeshadow felt soft, smooth, and blendable without being powdery or dusty. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.
