I forgot to snag pictures, and it;s been several weeks, so I am just putting the titles of the products here.
1.) ModelCo Blush Cheek Powder in Peach Bellini ★★★
Don't get me wrong, I love ModelCo! BoxyCharm introduced me to their products in March and I reaaalllyyy like it!! But, my blush literally fell out in a full powdery mess when I first opened it. I am assuming it's supposed to be more solid, but..it fell out in the top drawer of my vanity, and since it was all in one pile, there was no real way to try it because WAY to much clung to my blush brush. I am assuming here this is neither ModelCo's fault, nor BoxyCharms but just what happens sometimes in shipping. All in all, I was unable to use the Peach Bellini Blush in any form, so I can't tell you whether it's good or not.
2.) Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in “Hollywood” ★★★
If you look this up, do not be shocked by the color. It looks BRIGHT PINK...but it isn't that pink when you put it on. The color is pretty good, but...I found it to be a bit drying and...not to my liking. I will give this one to my 10 year old who is just learning to experiment with make up.
3.) ModelCo Eye Pencil in Black ★★★★★
I. Love. This. Eye. Pencil! Seriously, I use it almost everyday. The lid has a handy built in sharpener, so a quick 1/4 turn gives you a nice sharp point for a thinner line. It glides on smooth, and actually attaches to the tear line of the lower lid (my experience has been that eye liner pencils don't attach well.) First run along the tear line, and it's there, and the BEST PART, is that the eye liner tends to stay! I love in the desert, and it can get sweltering out here, and often if I wear eyeliner on a hot day, I end up looking like a raccoon by 3 PM. Even if I powder underneath, which I don't like to do, because the powder often settles into the wrinkles I am starting to develop. (I am 36...it happens) Not with this eye liner...nope. It's awesome! Will definitely buy!!
4.) bellapierre Nail Polish in Lavender ★★★★
Cute nail polish. I wore it on my toes, and it was great!
5.) Coolway Glow Finishing Oil ★★★★
I loved this stuff, too. ESPECIALLY with my hair texture and humidity induced frizziness. Now, as with all hair finishing oils, "a little dab'll do ya", and one, maybe two sprays should be more than enough. More than that, and your hair may end up feeling greasy. That's the nature of finishing oils, though...not a mark against the product.
And there you have it!! For me, front runners were the ModelCo eye liner (HIGHLY recommend) and the CoolWay Glow. Sorry about the no pictures thing, but I figured for this instance, you could Google it if you are curious.
Until next time,
XOXO
