    I don't think Black Opal is out of business. Their website is still up (though it's a sucky one) and I still buy their products at Rite Aid. My favorite eye quad is Sultry Sirens: a vivid violet,...

    The company is either out of business or on its way out so grab all of these while you can. This is high-end shadow sold at drugstore prices. I have two duos (Gold Rush and Chocolate Dreams) and...

    This is a wonderful eyeshadow, with great pigment, goes on smoothly, and lasts all day. it is supposed to be marketed for women of color, but I am a PPP and many of the shades have been flattering...

    Beautiful colors...great price. Perfect application wet or dry. I've used this line for some time now and their shadows can go head to head with any of the high end brands!

    I found the Black Opal eyeshadow quads on clearance in Walgreen's one day, so I thought I'd try them. I've found that drugstore cosmetics marketed toward women of color tend to be highly pigmented,...

    Black Opal Eyeshadows have lots of pigment and great staying power. My favorites are the ones with two coordinating shades in one pot. PurplePassion has a bright shimmery lilac and a darker purple,...
