Unreal! My Under Eyes Never Looked So good!
I was skeptical of this concealer as I hadn't seen anything or read any reviews and it was a new launch from Charlotte. I was hoping for the best but prepared for it to look just like any other concealer I had used.
Boy was I wrong! This stuff makes me look like I have had the best night's sleep of my life. My under eyes look so bright and pretty. I love the coverage it gives and once you have blended it into the skin, it stays put.
I make sure that my under eyes are moisturized and primed and then I use a very small amount (A little goes a long way for me) and then pat it in with a different sponge than the one that is on the tip of this concealer, or on other days I will use a small, soft brush to blend it. I will set it on days when I think I need to, but I do have dry skin and sometimes setting powders under my eyes make them look creasy so keep that in mind, and this stuff does dry down very, very quickly.
I do love this and use it every time I do my makeup. The only downside to this is that you don't get a ton of product in the package (I LOVE the packaging, it feels weighty and it's gold so how can you go wrong?) but this stuff is amazing.
Another Great Palette
I own the 28 pan Purple-Blue palette by Natasha Denona and when she came out with this gem, I had to purchase it. I love purple eyeshadow and this one does it for me.
I haven't put this down since I bought it, I love it that much. I find that I using my fingers and tapping it onto my lids then using blending brushes produces some of the best color payoff and looks that I can make.
The colors are so pretty and vibrant and when I use my eyeshadow primer, along with an eyeshadow base, the colors last and last and do not crease on my eyelids. I barely need to tap my finger into the colors and BAM, there's tons of product that just feels like they blend themselves.
I love this palette so much, the looks are endless. A definite gem.
This Definitely is Magic in a Bottle For Me
I was having problems finding a foundation that would work with my maturing skin and the issues that come with it (fine lines, texture, dryness), so I wrote to Beautylish customer service and shared my issues and asked for help. I was so surprised that I received a response within an hour with a foundation that could work for me. I was skeptical due to the so-so ratings some people gave this foundation. After a while, I pulled the trigger and purchased it.
I am so thankful that I did. This is now my holy grail of foundations. I wear it with a pore minimizing primer on my T zone and a hydrating and smoothing primer on the rest of my face. This melts into my skin and makes my skin look like I don't have any issues whatsoever. I use two layers with a foundation brush and finish with a pressed powder, then I use a dewy setting spray and my skin just looks amazing.
I was worried that the shade Fair 2 wasn't going to work but it is a perfect match to my skin. I can wear this for six hours before I need to powder or touch up. It does not cake up on me and it does not feel like I am wearing any foundation at all. I am in love.
I want to send a special shout out to Alexis for helping me find my holy grail foundation. She is a doll.
Skin is Soft!
My skin has become dryer as I age and it never seemed to feel hydrated. I decided to purchase this product to help combat that.
I use this i the morning and the evening and I have noticed my skin seems to feel so soft and it no longer feels dry or flaky! I apply this to my full face after washing and before any other serums or creams. My face does not get shiny, I don't use a ton, a little goes A LONG way.
I don't find there is a scent at all. It is the consistency of a very thin oil and it is clear. It absorbs so fast that it makes adding this to my skincare routine a breeze.
I have also found I did not break out from using this and in fact, it has kept breakouts at bay (I'm sure along with all my other products it has had a helping hand with this). I really love this and for the price, you can't beat it. I love how little I need to use so I know that my bottle will last. Once I run out of it though, I will repurchase!
One of my favorites I reach for
If you can afford this palette, and if you like sparkly and bright and not that into mattes, this palette or its sister the green-brown one will speak to you.
I watched the video that was sent to me regarding how to use this palette and why Natasha aligned the colors that she did and it was like a light bulb went off. There are endless looks from this palette and it just works so well. If you use a sticky based primer no eye shadow or powder over top before doing your look, it works beautifully. I have also used my fingers at times to apply color to my lids and then a fluffy blending brush and it just turns out beautifully. The shadows do not crease on me and last a good 8-10 hours at least depending on what I am doing.
It is not a huge palette either so I can take it when I travel, I just would wrap it in a towel and keep it with me.
Overall I really like this palette, the colors blend, I love The Electric Violet and Nina's Orchid colors the most, along with the duochorome and piggy the most. I have used it every day since I got it. Watch the video, it will show you some looks to do with the palette as well and give you all the excitement and inspiration you need to use this palette.
20 Pan Palette-I am IN LOVE
I love to research makeup and I enjoy buying from brands that aren't as popular or advertised all the time. I stumbled across Inglot not that long ago and longed for a palette from them. I reviewed swatches, watched videos, asked other people if they knew or liked the brand and then decided to try.
I was scared to buy the matte shades because many times, mattes can apply patchy and be difficult to work with. Well not Inglot mattes!
I love being able to choose the colors and finishes I want. I feel like it's personalized and all mine.
This was the best makeup purchase I have ever made. The pigmentation is to die for. Other brands should take lessons from Inglot. You barely need to touch your brush onto the colors and they blend like a dream. I bought pearl, matte, metallic, sparkle, AMC and double sparkle finishes and they all perform amazingly. I absolutely adore this palette and plan on purchasing more.
Inglot, you have gained a customer for life. These shadows are amazing and for the price, it's unreal how well they perform. I use my Urban Decay synthetic brushes with this and it makes putting on eye shadow easy and effortless.
I can't wait to try out more products from Inglot.
Pleasantly Surprised
After eyeing the full Natasha Denona Blue and Purple, I decided to purchase this 5 palette because it had the colors I was craving most. I didn't want to put down the full price for the full palette without trying these out.
I have oily eyelids and was worried that these would crease on me or just slide off. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the lasting power on these shadows far surpassed what I thought would happen. Pairing the shimmer shades with nina's orchid (my overall favorite color) was a dream as they blend together extremely well.
I will definitely be purchasing more palettes or even the full Blue-Purple palette. I reach for this palette more than any other.
I do use a primer just to make sure the shadows stay in place. This is my new favorite.
