ugh...
I hate this mascara. Maybe it is just me but I feel like it does NOTHING for my lashes. I don't have super long ones to begin with, but normal drug store mascara usually gives me the perfect look...not this stuff! After reading the reviews, I may try it some more but the few times I have used it, I was really unhappy with how my eye lashes looked.
Wow...
After getting a few Hard Candy products that I was NOT thrilled about (Namely the blush & mascara) I wasn't too hopeful for this eyeshadow (I have the dark purple) but when I saw it in the sale isle I had to try it. I actually like it! I don't think its too hard to achieve the dark purple color that it looks like, the glitter IS a bit much though. I tend to use my finger to apply this one as it doesn't stay on the brush very well.
So pretty!
I have this in Northern Lights - It is SO beautiful! Very pigmented, colorful, sparkly, amazing. I love it. Perfect color. (With that said, make sure you use a primer!!). I got mine @ Sally Beauty Supply.
Flaky!
I have this is Twinkle Pink (which I don't see listed) and the first time I put my brush in the powder - compressed - it almost...exploded! There was color EVERYWHERE, along with the adorable golden glitter. Which is GREAT if you're a stripper...not so much a mother. Once the color got on & I got past the mess & the crazy glitter, I do like it, so so. Maybe for a night out. Over other blush.
Whoa, Brush!
I'm not going to lie, the brush kind of freaked me out at first. Now that I've gotten used to it though, I kind of like it. The coverage that comes out of this bottle is almost impossible...I mean, it covers really well (for me, at least). I don't like wearing foundation & really don't wear it a lot, but this is light-weight and easy to apply. I do use a sponge after its on to blend.
So Pretty!
I have had my Chanel quad for awhile now (probably longer then I should of) and it is still amazing. Not the same colors as above, mine is purple, gold, pink & orange - but I just had to review on the quality. Granted, the price was disgusting, but it was WELL worth it. Like I mentioned, I have had this longer then I should of, and it is still in perfect shape - the eye shadows are creamy without being cream & don't make a mess. What you see is what you get. Great product.
Love the colors
Essie has beautiful colors, nice brushes that are still a bit thicker then the "cheap" nail polishes, and good coverage. With that said, unless I use a top coat my nail polish DOES chip pretty quickly when wearing it. It dries fast though, and is easy enough to do 2 coats of. As I already said, I love the colors. I found mine @ TJ Maxx & it wasn't too expensive.
Pretty Packaging
I bought this because it caught my eye the other day, and I have to say...not too shabby. It is NOT a pigmented color, more of a highlighter, and it does have some subtle sparkles but they don't really show up once its on. I prefer to use the actual compact to brush the blush across my cheeks and then use a brush to blend. Not a big color, as mentioned, but a nice little shimmer over normal blush if you must :)
Best, ever.
This is my favorite scent, ever. I haven't had any in a few years (the price is sick) but I won't even bother with the knock-off's. This has a perfect clean & light scent that lasts. I can't wait to get another bottle. *edit* after writing this review & being sad I don't have any more, I found a gift set of Sephora. Happy face! I can't wait for the compliments to start rolling in :D
Amazing? Hardly.
Maybe its just me but I prefer a smaller brush to put on my eye-shadow. I like this brush, but I feel like its size kind of makes you just put too much eye-shadow on & not really define it where you want it. Sure, if I want to put a heap on my eyes & then wipe it off or blend with another brush, its all good, but I prefer to use a smaller brush for more detailed application. I got this with the 11 (?) piece kit, for the price it was worth it, I just don't see the big deal with this brush & am not a huge fan of the size.
