Maybelline Diamond Glow Eye Studio Review

Sometimes all one wants is a simple easy-to-use set of eyeshadows not a whole full palette or to carry around 5 different single pots so when I picked this out at the recent Maybelline 100 birthday bash I knew that I would find myself reaching for it fairly often.
