Marc Jacobs Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon Swatches, Review, Ingredients Analysis

Image
Marc Jacobs' Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon is the brand's new eyeliner product, and an extension of the existing Highliner eyeliner range. As the name suggests, the main difference is that the new Highliner Matte Crayons are, well, matte, as opposed to the original Highliner eyeliners which had a bit more of a sheen. And as with the original Highliner eyeliners, these are also advertised as being akin to having a pot gel eyeliner, but in pencil form. They're also advertised as having " 15 seconds of play time " before they set, so you can smudge out, soften, or otherwise adjust your eyeliner before it sets. Marc Jacobs Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon: 12 shades of matte eyeliner I've never tried the original Highliners before, but they seemed to have really good reviews, so I was hoping the new Matte Highliners would be equally great. And I'm glad to say that after testing out all 12 shades - yes there are 12 shades of Matte Highliner - I think these are a...

L'Oreal Super Liner V-Sculptor Swatches and First Impressions

Image
L'Oreal's Super Liner V-Sculptor eyeshadow sticks were launched last month, and yes, I'm only just getting around to swatching them. I wanted to blog about these because they're pretty interesting as far as eyeshadows go. These are powder eyeshadows, but instead of being in a pan and coming with a brush, these are actually in a pen form, with a cushion tip, as you can see below. The idea behind the cushion tip is that it's easier to blend the eyeshadow out to get a natural-looking application. As for the eyeshadow powder, it's stored inside the cap of the pen. L'Oreal Super Liner V-Sculptor: A powder eyeshadow with a cushion applicator for better blending If these look a bit familiar, it's because these are basically the eyeshadow version of the L'Oreal Tint Caresse that was launched last year. Pretty much everything is the same - the pen format, the cushion tip (right down to the cushion material), the storage of the powder product in the cap. So i...

Too Faced Cat Eyes Eyeshadow Palette Swatches and Review

Image
I've always been eyeing some of the lovely Too Faced products, and recently actually bought some of their lip products, as seen on my Instagram ). In addition to those two lip products I bought, I also finally got one of their famed eyeshadow palettes - the Cat Eyes Eyeshadow Palette! Too Faced Cat Eyes Eyeshadow Palette: Finally got my hands on one of these pretties! I got the Too Faced Cat Eyes Eyeshadow Palette from Beauty Bridge , an online retailer that is based in the US, but ships overseas. They have a ton of products, from niche brands to mainstream ones, and from skincare to makeup to fragrance. I'm glad to say my package arrived on time, and that nothing was broken, which is good (shipping eyeshadows overseas always makes me a little worried). So yay for well-packed international parcels! Too Faced Cat Eyes Eyeshadow Palette: I received mine from BeautyBridge Anyway, now that I've gotten my hands on the palette, I figured it's a good time for me to give you gu...

Image
Clinique's Pop Lip Colour + Primer is the latest lipstick launch from Clinique, and these are marketed as a hybrid lipstick and primer, that doesn't shift or fade, and has a moisturizing sheen. I was told that the lipstick contains flexible polymers that bind together to ensure that the lipstick remains fresh and stays in place, and the ingredients include Shea butter and some other plant oils. Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer: A hybrid lipstick and primer that is Clinique's latest launch These were launched last month over here at $33 a pop, so I'm a little bit late, but better late than never right? They seemed pretty nice overall, and not ridiculously expensive, either. Anyway, without further ado, let's move on to the swatches! I've swatched them by the same categories they're sold in - Tawnies, Nudes, Pinks, and Violets. Continue Reading . . .
