EOTD with Vivo
2012
Vivo is the new affordable cosmetics range exclusively available from Tesco. It may be old news to some but for me it’s a new discovery. We are spoilt for choice with more affordable make-up on the market, and the ‘cheaper’ ones are definitely giving the high-end established brands a run for their money. Why fork out £11 for an eyeshadow when you get an excellent dupe for no more than a couple of quid?
I picked up these two single eyeshadow shades on a wander round my nearest large Tesco. One is matte (Slate) and the other is pearl finish (Golden Leaf).
Slate, as its name suggests, is a dark, murky greyish shade although it looks like a sludge-like marshy green to me, which is why I teamed it with the olive greenness of Golden Leaf.
Vivo individual eyeshadows are an incredible £1.50 and the quality does pack a punch. Pigmentation is rich and the size and quantity of the product is generous. The picture above is how my make-up looked after a long night so not bad holding power for the shadows for what they’re worth. Have you given Vivo a shot?

I do have a Vivo mascara and it’s fine.
Tremendous eyes. I don’t see the point in spending money on expensive eye-shadow unless you MUST have the packaging and (maybe) a pretty smell.
Save pennies for perfume, skincare, foundation etc. Eye-shadow is the one product where you can get all the colours you need for very little.
Thank you, Jen! You make a very valid point about distributing the spending on beauty products. Fortunately there is a lot of choice and competitive prices for eye make-up with more affordable brands appearing on the market.
i really love that olive shade
Really like the olive shade. I was just looking for something similar but was reluctant to pay for a full Mac eyeshadow. Now I know where to head next time I’m in Tesco! Thanks!
