I hate it when work gets in the way of blogging! Been really busy at work but now I am back... Here's a review and look featuring Jesse's Girl Mineralized Baked Powder in Kiwi Shine. This particular shade is one of my favorite eye shadow shades ever. I like how this particular shade brightens up my lower lid. I know that green looks great on brown eyes, so I can never have too many green shadows. This particular one by Jesse's Girl is pretty special, though.
This reminds me of the baked mineral shadows I own, but I was shocked at how affordable this is. I've always had the impression that baked shadows are more expensive than regular ones because they're usually hand-crafted and baked for 24 hours in terracotta pans. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that this baked shadow costs only $3.99. What a steal! As with typical baked shadows, Kiwi Shine has a vibrant hue but it gets brighter and more pigmented when foiled (wet application). I foiled Kiwi Shine in the look below using MAC Charged Water, and it really applied well with a nice pigmented sheen.

As you can see, the pigmentation becomes more intense and vibrant when the product is foiled. I also love how the green has a gold flash to it. Quite pretty!
For this eye look, I used Kiwi Shine foiled on lid, the green Rainbow shadow from Inglot (#109R) on the crease, and MAC Grand Entrance (dark hunter green) from the Holiday 2008 Warm Eyes palette on the outer lid. I also used my favorite highlighter, an Inglot yellowish white pearl shadow in #393.
All in all, I am pretty impressed with Jesse's Girl Mineralized Baked Powder shadows. They are quite affordable and yet pigmented especially when foiled, and also lasts a decent time with a good base.
