Today I put 2 of my favorite indie single eyeshadow brands, Clionadh and Looxi, to the test and compared how they handled similar shades. Some shades from looxi came before the clionadh ones, others came later, so i don't think looxi is always trying to dupe clionadh but they have a hell lot of overlap. I could make a couple more of these just with these two brands and I think i will later on

Just a little disclaimer, what we call cheap or expensive really depends on everyone's situation and point of view. I know some very unimpressive singles retail for over $20 and some people don't call that expensive while others don't agree $3 is cheap for a single eyeshadow, so "cheap vs expensive" is not an objective title cause cheap/expensive is quite subjective.
