nomad cosmetics nordic lights intense eye shadow

hello everyone, today i will be reviewing the nomad cosmetics nordic lights intense eye shadow in the shade norrsken no 3. i got this in one of my ipsy glam bags, though i can't remember which month. i want to say october? anyway the one i have is not full sized, it is 0.05 ounces while a full size is 0.08 ounces. these eye shadows are made in china and are vegan and cruelty free. a full size of this from the nomad website is $12.

here are the swatches. the first one is done with a finger while the second is done with a brush. the website calls this a plum but to me this has a lot more pink in it than purple. it is a pretty shade but it does take some work to bring it to full opacity on the eyes. i will also point out that blending it is a bit difficult. the packing on this compact is a bit of a pain to open. i don't know about you, but breaking a a nail trying to open an eye shadow isn't a thing for me. anyway this eye shadow is just ok, it's not something crazy amazing out there. in fact i don't really use this eye shadow much. i will say though that if i were to get another one of these in an ipsy that i wouldn't be mad at it.
