Makeup Revolution Eye Like Angels Eye Shadow Palette-Review, Photos, Swatches + Looks

Brand Claim: The ULTRA collection of 32 brights and smoked shades to experiment and play with.

Result: I was on a lookout for an alternate to the Morphe 35 U palette which is still on my wishlist. But since I didn't want to spend the hefty amount I found this little gem after some research. This palette however, I do feel is underrated because I haven't read about it much on social media. So after playing with it for quite some time, I'm finally out with my opinion. Lets roll!

Mini Review-Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal 006 Deep Blue

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal 006 Deep Blue

Since I have been hauling blue eye liners for months now in search of that perfect one, I got a chance to try and test the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Kohl in Deep Blue this time. This one is somewhere between navy and cobalt. I have the black version and it is one of the best makeup eye liners ever, however, this one despite having similar qualities kind of falls behind on the color part. It still is not my perfect blue. And I sharpened it to less than half after first use because the tips are just too soft.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Perversion-Review, Photos, Swatches

Company/Brand Claim: Creamy, forever-lasting, award-winning and waterproof, 24/7 pencils delight you with lush tropical hues, deep metallics, and unusually vibrant neutrals. The best Eye Pencil ever, ever, ever! Never before has a pencil this creamy and brilliant been waterproof, too. Velvety-soft, this never-before-seen formula stays soft and creamy for blending (about 30 seconds), then dries down to a long-lasting finish that WILL NOT budge.

Result: To be honest, I would never have purchased this eye pencil alone, because it is too expensive that way. But since this one came along with my UD Smoked Palette (read review) I got a chance to try it and share my opinion.

Barry M kohl Pencil, Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal, Makeup Revolution Eyeliner, Luscious Bold Smudgeproof Intense Eye Liner, Christine Kajal/Eyeliner Pencil

Packaging: All except for the Luscious Bold look like basic liners with the glossy texture. The luscious one looks very similar to urban decays 24/7 glide on pencil and it takes extra points for the packaging.

Urban Decay Smoked Eye Shadow Palette-Review, Photos, Swatches+Look

Company/Brand Claim: This palette is no more available on the website or at Sephora, therefore I could not find the brand claim.

Result: I finally had a chance to grab one of Urban Decay's finest offerings, The Smoked eye shadow palette, which has an extended version out now namely, The Smoky Palette. But I was most interested in this one after the Naked 2.

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Rockin' Curves Mascara 001 Black-Review, Photos

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Rockin' Curves Mascara 001 Black

Company/Brand Claim: Our first broken heart-shaped brush creates a fringe of big, curvy, rockin’ lashes. This cleverly-shaped applicator twists and curves to hug the lash line; the thin tip grabs hard-to-reach inner lashes, while the amplified base pulses lashes with incredible volume and curve. Lashes are plumped and lifted in one clean stroke.

No clumps!

Mini Review-Milani Eye Shadow Primer 01 Nude

The Milani eye shadow primer in Nude is a cream formulated, slightly transparent primer which not only helps eye shadows stay on longer but also intensifies pigmentation, as you can see in the picture above. Apply it using your fingers all over the eye and up towards the brow bone. For those who want to use it everyday will need a new one soon as the 9 ml tube runs out quickly. Avoid it if you have oily lids.

Mini Review-Barry M Kohl Pencil 1

Barry M Kohl Pencil 1

This is my first take on a Barry M product. I randomly picked this up at Boots after hesitating first. The kohl pencil has an ultra soft tip and smoothly glides on the eyes.  To get that beautiful black color, you need to layer it a bit. The bad part is that despite being a kohl pencil, it doesn't stay on the waterline. Just wear it and it's nearly gone within half an hour but stays on the upper lash line for a few hours. It transfers on your finger if touched. Plus, looking at its size, for Aed 18, it is expensive.

EOTD: Blue Ivy + Tutorial

I created this very simple yet glam look for an evening out using blue products. If you wana know how I did it then read on.

Boots No 7 Stay Perfect Amazing Eyes Pencil Deepest Blue-Review, Photos, Swatches

Company/Brand Claim: No 7 Stay Perfect Amazing Eyes Pencil is a long wearing and silky smooth pencil for amazing color and definition.  

Result: It looks like a professionally designed pencil with a smudger at the end and exact color cap. Feels slightly dry and rough when applying and has a metallic finish. The color is a glamorous electric blue, which I fell for instantly. I wear it like a regular eye pencil on the upper and lower lash line.

Mini Review-Catrice Gel Eye Liner 020 It's Mambo Nr. 2

Catrice Gel Eye Liner 020 It's Mambo Nr. 2

Catrice gel eye liner Mr. Mambo is a cream formulated rather deep glossy purple eye liner. Since the little glass jar is topped with a brown lid and the name doesn't let you make a guess, I only bought it
because I though it was brown. The consistency is not gel like to be honest. It is slightly creamy. I wasn't happy with the application as it applied sheer with a brush and I couldn't even layer it. It works much better as an eye shadow base for a smokey eye or some other bold look but it definitely does not fit into my idea of a gel liner.
