Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Not Just Nudes: Review and Swatches!

My biggest weakness by far when shopping for new makeup is cream eyeshadows. I love them, use them practically every day, I just cannot get enough of them! I had been eyeing this certain product for quite a while and finally just decided to pick it up since it was so cheap. I think it is safe to say Revlon is one of my favorite drugstore makeup brands, so I didn't see myself being disappointed in this product.

This palette in Not Just Nudes has a light beige shade that has very minimal shimmer, a taupey shade with shimmer, a medium brown, and a shimmer dark brown.

The colors are very pretty.

This product is so creamy and applies so easily. There is just one problem. It creases like mad, and fast. I put this on for work on day at 8:30, and on my lunch break at 11:30, it was completely creased. I even topped it off with powder eyeshadow. I don't understand what caused it to crease so fast, but I was not impressed with this. The consistency and pigmentation are great, otherwise.

Sorry Revlon, I love you, I just can't give you props for this product. What are you favorite cream shadows? Suggestions are always appreciated :)

Jordana FabuLiner: Review and Swatch!

In my opinion, felt tip eyeliner pens are the easiest form of eyeliner for beginners or anyone who struggles with applying eyeliner! Today I'm going to share with you my thoughts on the Jordana FabuLiner!

The felt tip on this product is chunkier than most. It is really stiff as well which makes it easier to apply than the flexible felt tip pens. I really am a fan of this tip.

This is highly pigmented. With the tip of this product, you can achieve a very thin line, or easily make a thick bold line. Winging out eyeliner couldn't be any easier with this eyeliner, I don't recall ever messing up a wing while using this. So you know, if you wear eyeshadow with this, some of it will latch onto the tip of this, but it doesn't affect the way it applies or it will not wreck your future makeup applications.

I wore this for the first time when I was going out one night without a primer. I quick threw it on and ran out the door. Let me tell you, after I looked in the mirror next, I looked like a hot mess. I do not recommend this eyeliner if you refuse to use an eyeshadow primer. When I did use one though and had eyeshadow on, this lasted all day and night! This won't budge if you prime properly first.

I have had my same pen for over six months and it is still going strong. For $2.99, and having it last that long, I think this product is incredible! You can find this at Walgreens, or wherever else Jordana products are sold such as Kmart.

Have you tried this eyeliner? What is your favorite felt tip eyeliner?

Covergirl Eye Enhancers Eye Shadow in Shimmering Sands: Review and Swatches!

Let's talk about an inexpensive, simple palette that is great for every day use. I think it's amazing when we can find drugstore items that are great enough to use every day, and this is one of those products in my opinion!

I bought this simply because I heard everyone talking about this and wanted to see what all the hype was about. I'll be honest, at first I wasn't all that impressed and hardly ever used it. One I made myself start using it more, I saw the true quality of this great product!

The texture of Covergirl eye shadows is incredibly smooth. Pigmentation is great. They blend out very easily on the eyes. I never use eye shadow without a primer so I don't know the lasting power of them without using one. I think Covergirl eyeshadows are great for beginners because they take no effort to use and it would be very hard to people to mess up a look with them. I like that you can build these colors up to get even more drama for like a night time look as well.

I think this would be an easy go to no fuss eye look for any girl, especially low maintenance ones! Pick it up next time you see it. For under $5, you can't go wrong with this, even if you don't use it very often.

Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel CreamLiner Review!

As you can tell from the title of this post, the name of this product is definitely a mouthful! I'd like to share with you my thoughts on these gel cream liners by physicians formula.

This line from physicians formula comes in trios for each eye color. So you can pick the set that compliments your eyes, or pick the colors that you like the most! You have complete freedom with this line, but I like that they do have a set category for newbies who may not know what colors they should go for.

I have the set for hazel eyes. It comes with a very rich black, that does have a hint of purple sparkle in it. On the eyes, I can barely notice it to be honest. The next color is a purple that has a hint of pink to it. The brown is a standard pretty brown that may have the slightest bit of a gold or silver sparkle, but it is really hard to detect. Less noticeable than the black color that has sparkle.

As you can see, the pigmentation is amazing with these. The formula is so creamy and easy to work with, but once it sets it stays in place all day for me. I can use this as eyeliner, or as an eyeshadow base (it doesn't crease!) This comes with a brush that isn't too bad honestly, I just tend to grab whichever eyeliner brush I find first since I have more of them than I need. I have had these for over a year and they haven't shown any sign of drying up on me! The price I see for these varies from place to place, but I have seen them around $10-12 at most places and they are totally worth the money! You get three awesome eyeliners for the price so it really isn't "expensive" if you remember that.

Have you tried these? What is your favorite eyeliner?

L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer Review!

Well, it's Monday guys. Hope you are all having a fantastic day. Mine has been so beyond busy, working all day plus classes are starting but I still wanted to be able to find time to blog!

Today I'm going to share a product review on the L'Oreal Magic Lumi Primer. I'm the type of person who likes to use products as they are stated to use, that is fair right? Well I simply cannot use this as a primer. It feels way too heavy on my skin! Not to mention, when adding products on top of it, you lose the "glow" aspect of this product. I'm not really a fan of this as a primer in general because I feel like there are definitely better quality ones even in the drugstore. I so badly wanted to like this since it had special luminating features but it doesn't come through in this aspect for me.

As you can tell, this is straight up pearly white. I'm not saying that is a bad thing, I'm sure some people really enjoy this about it. I'm just not a fan of that.

Once blended into the skin, it does look very nice. But I don't like that you can detect a white patch on my cheeks when I wear this as a highlighter.

All in all, I'm not to impressed with this product. For about $11-12, I could easily have saved that money and put it towards a product I would enjoy much more. Do you enjoy this primer?
