Today I wanted to talk about my most used eye products
and do a little review on each. As you can see by the above
photo I don't use much. I am a creature of habit and when
I really enjoy something I usually stick with it for a while.
Urban Decay Naked 2: This was my very first "high end"
makeup product I've ever gotten. I believe I had received
this as a Christmas gift last year. It's still my first go
to shadow pallet. I just love nudes and that this pallet
gives you some shimmers and some mattes. I am missing
Blackout at the very end. It fell out and crumbled into
little pieces. :(
Smashbox Full Exposure: As you can see I have a little
sample size that I bought in Ulta about a month ago. It's
slowly turning into my most reached for pallet
but I do also like to mix it with some of the Naked 2
colors. The main reason why I reached for this
was because of how it offers the same exact shades
in shimmer and in matte. I would say some of the
shimmers are not very pigmented but if you mix them
with their matte counterparts then you get a really pretty
shade.
Buxom Cream Shadow: I LOVE THIS! I use this all
over my lid pretty much every day. I have in the shade Mutt.
It's the perfect classic brown shimmer that looks so
great all over the lid. It doesn't crease or smudge and I
highly recommend this to anyone looking for a
good cream shadow.
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion: I have used
many drugstore eye primers that just did not work
so I decided to spend a little bit more and try this.
I do not regret that decision! I really notice
a difference in my shadows when I don't use this
compared to when I do. They just stay put and last
all day with no smudging. This formula is so
light and easy to apply. I highly recommend this
to anyone looking for a good high end
eye primer.
Anastasia Brow Wiz: My eyebrows are horrid
little monsters. I can not seem to get them to
look remotely normal but this brow wiz really
helps tame them. It's duel ended with the
brow pencil on one end and a brow brush
on the other. It lasts all day and is very
easy to apply. Also, it doesn't leave
my eyebrows feeling waxy. That is a major
plus in my book.
Elf Liquid Eyeliner: Elf has such amazing products for
the price. This eye liner was only $2 and has worked
wonders for me. It's also very long lasting and is very
pigmented. I also love that it has a very long and narrow
applicator brush that helps making cat eye flicks
easy to apply.
Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner: I like having this
gel liner in a different shade because it helps add that
extra something to a smokey eye. I mainly use
the gel liner when I feel like smudging rather
than having the harsh line of a liquid liner. I just use this
with a angled brush and sweep it on. It's very easy to apply
and is also very long lasting and feels quite light on the lid.
Maybelline The Falsies Volume Express Mascara:
This is been the only brand of mascara in my makeup
bag for, oh, since my freshman year of high school. (I'm now 22)
This is the most amazing mascara. It really lengthens my lashes and
builds them up and makes them look so flawless. My most
favorite part about this brand is the formula. It doesn't clump, or
dry out so your lashes feel like hard wires. It's easy to
take off even if it's waterproof and very easy
to build up. It's the best drugstore mascara
out there, in my opinion.
