Forest Night

Kaja Forest Night Beauty Bento Bouncy Shimmer Eyeshadow Trio ($26.00 for 0.09 oz.) is one of two new-for-spring trios that includes one very sparkly shade, one shimmer, and one matte shade. The shimmer was so weak; it was one of the worst-performing shades I’ve tried from a Kaja trio, which are normally one of my favorite products!

Earth Glam

Earth Glam is a bright, light copper with strong, warm golden undertones and an intense, metallic finish paired with a moderate amount of sparkle. It had a very “wet” look when applied to skin.

Mostly opaque pigmentation
Smooth, moderately emollient consistency without being too dense
Best applied with a fingertip to avoid fallout
Long-wearing (8 hours before fading visibly)

Wood Breeze

Wood Breeze had a darker, warm olive base with flecks of olive and gold micro-sparkle throughout. This was one of the worst Kaja shimmer shades I’ve encountered–really surprised (and disappointed!).

Semi-sheer pigmentation
Stiff, slightly firm, difficult to pick up
Hard to blend out due to the consistency
Average-wearing (7 hours before fading visibly)
