Underground is a great eyeshadow for a smokey eye look. The pigmentation is strong and it can be blended excellently for a smokey eye. If you want to use it for a more subtle look then a small amount can be applied for a more grey look. The texture is very smooth and soft. I apply this using an hard eyeshadow brush and then blend out using a soft eyeshadow brush, I feel that this works best to reduce any fallout.
Longevity
The longevity from this eyeshadow is great. I can wear it for up to ten hours without any creasing occurring. I will always wear a primer with this eyeshadow, however the swatch below doesn't have any primer underneath.
Packaging
This eyeshadow came in a nice purple cardboard box. The eyeshadow itself comes in a very hard plastic box with a removable grey insert that holds the eyeshadow. It can also be transferred into a palette.
Price
I purchased this from Love-makeup when they were having a sale on Michael Todd cosmetics. I paid £2.50 or €2.85 for this eyeshadow. They usually cost more.
Would I buy this again? Yes

Michael Todd Creme Eyeshadow: Flutter
Product
This is a champagne shade creme eyeshadow which also contains gold shimmer. It's very creamy and also very easy to apply. I have used both an eyeshadow brush and also using an eyeshadow applicator. It think it depends on the look that you want to create to decide on which applicator works best for this eyeshadow. This blends very well but can sometimes loose pigmentation if it is overly blended. Otherwise the pigmentation is good. This is also a very good highlighter.
Longevity
I can usually wear this for approximately eight hours. Some creasing will occur if it is on the crease of my eye but that is usually easily resolved. If used as a highlighter on the brow bone then creasing is not a problem.
Packaging
This creme eyeshadow comes in a cardboard style purple box and there is a bubble wrap packaging securing the eyeshadow inside the box. The creme eyeshadow then comes in a clear round glass container with a black plastic removable lid.

Michael Todd Frosted Eye Shadow: Pleasure
Product
The first thing that I noticed about this eyeshadow was how much glitter and shimmer it contained. I had not expected it to be that shimmery when I saw it online as the picture or description did not indicate this. There is good pigmentation from this eyeshadow and it is easy to blend. The texture is also very smooth and not chalky. I apply this using an eyeshadow brush and it works perfectly. This can be applied lightly for a day time look or if the intensity is increased then it can be worn as part of a night time look.
Longevity
An eyeshadow primer is needed with this eyeshadow, I have not used on in the swatch below. I can usually wear this for eight hours. If any creasing does occur it is easily solved using an eyeshadow brush.
Packaging
This eyeshadow came in a nice purple cardboard box. The eyeshadow itself comes in a very hard plastic box with a removable grey insert that holds the eyeshadow. It can also be transferred into a palette.

Would I buy this again? No, not there was anything wrong with the eyeshadow I just don't think I will use this colour that much.

Michael Todd Frosted Eye Shadow: Marshmallow
Product
This is a great matte eyeshadow. It is great for highlighting my eyes and also in the corner of my eyes to open up my eyes if I am wearing a smokey look. It is also very easy to blend and they are not chalky, which I had expected. It is a very wearable colour. I apply these using an eyeshadow brush and they work well with both hard and soft eyeshadow brushes.

Michael Todd Powder Blush: Sugar Daddy
Product
Michael Todd says that these 'powder blushes are triple-pigmented to provide perfect application each and every time'. This blush is definitely pigmented. The first time I applied this I looked ridiculous as I applied it with a very heavy hand. The second application was more successful. I lightly swiped the blusher brush over the powder and applied it. The texture of this powder is very soft which makes it easy to blend. The one aspect I don't like about this blusher is that there is a bit too much glitter in it. It isn't terrible however I prefer blusher that give a more natural glow. It is still a good blusher, however.
Longevity
The longevity from this blush is really good. I will usually get approximately ten hours from this blush. This will sometimes be longer depending on what I am doing, for example, if I don't have a very busy day.
Packaging
This blush came in a purple cardboard style box. The blush powder is then stored in a hard plastic purple box with an insert tray that can be removed. The tray can then be added to a palette or left as an individual eyeshadow.
Price
I ordered this online at Love make-up and paid £2.99 for it. It is also available at Michael Todd online.
Would I buy this again? No I wouldn't buy this shade again however I would purchase a different blush from this range. Everything was perfect expect I didn't like the amount of shimmer.
