This week, Alima Pure staffer Amanda selected Pearluster Eyeshadow in Mocha as her Staff Favorite. “I like the Pearlusters best because I like shimmer, but I also like intense color that really shows up,” Amanda said. That statement made us wonder, do people who don’t work with our eyeshadows every day know what she means by that? Let us explain!
