Review: ELF Essential Liquid Eyeliners

If you watch my YouTube videos, you have probably deduced that I am an ELF fanatic! I absolutely cannot deny myself makeup at those prices, especially when the quality is 99% of the time acceptable! I have 4 of these eyeliners, and instead of reviewing individual colors for this product, I decided to review them as a whole since they all perform similarly.



The colors I have are: Coffee, Plum, Black, & Copper.



The one thing that I will just go ahead and get out of the way here that drives me nuts on ELF's website is that their color swatches are no where near the true color that you get. For example, Plum is shown to be a light purply-pink on the website whereas in person, it's a very dark, deep, well, plum color. Copper is also not near as opaque as they make it seem. It's basically a clear liquid eyeliner with gold glitter. Anyways. Onto the review!

Review: Hard Candy Meteor Eyes Baked Eyeshadow in "277 Lunar Eclipse"

The only Hard Candy products I have really dabbled in are their baked face products (blushes and a highlighting bronzer). I was not disappointed with those products at all, so I decided to pick up a baked eyeshadow to see how I liked it compared to the other products that I have tried by this brand.

Lunar Eclipse is the only shade I have tried, so I have nothing to compare it to. This review will be based solely off of this shade and this product alone.






Review: Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo in "20. Painted Purple"

Maybelline's color tattoos are all the rave lately, and I can't say I blame them. My experience with them thus far has been nothing but positive.

These little beauties are cream shadows that the company claims can last 24 hours. While I haven't experimented with a full day, I can attest to the fact that they last a good 4-5 hours (more or less depending on your skin) without a primer. They really don't crease much at all, and the colors stay vibrant, though they may fade a little without a primer.

These can be worn alone or as a base to other eyeshadows. I also find that they make great eyeliners as well! The versatility of cream shadows is what has attracted me to them, but I found that I always had duds until I found these little gems.

They come in a variety of shades and finishes (including matte!), and you get 0.14oz/4 g of product.

That's the general overview of these shadows. Now, I will review the color Painted Purple!

Review: Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Khaki Suede

Revlon, as a whole, has never done me wrong. I have not been completely unsatisfied with any products I've purchased. Granted, I've mostly just purchased lip products and an eyeshadow quad, but you get my drift.

Review: Hard Candy So Baked Bronzer in "129 tiki"

I have been extremely impressed with Hard Candy's baked products. I have not dabbled much into their other products, but from just using their baked products, I would more than willing to.

And of course, this beautiful bronzer/face highlight was no exception. This is one of the most beautiful products I have ever put on my face. It is in the Baked Bronzer line, but it is definitely more of a highlight, although if you wanted to use it as a bronzer, uh, go for it.

Review: NYC Ultra Last Lipstick in "Berry Rich"

NYC is a fantastic drugstore brand. There are diverse ranges of products that they sell for very affordable prices that are great quality! This lipstick was no different!
