Eyetini Cream Shadow + Base In One

Packaging - 3 (average)
Texture - 4 (very good)
Lasting - 4 (very good)
Color - 5 (excellent)
Variety - 4 (very good)
Overall:


I am a big cream eye shadow fan! I loved this product! It lasts all day, it is easy to blend and control (perfect for eye shadow gradients), it has some shine without being to flashy, and it comes in such fun colors! I tried the Spiced Rum and promptly purchased the Dirty Martini color as well! I love these fun color accents! They last all day, they are easy to use and the colors turn out awesome!

Mary Kay Cream Eye Colors

Packaging - 4 (very good)
Longevity - 5 (excellent)
Color - 4 (very good)
Texture - 5 (excellent)
Variety - 3 (average)
Overall:


Mary Kay Cream Eye Colors are great! They work as an eye shadow primer as well as a color. It comes in nine colors, and when you put them on they are creamy and they last all day. The only issues I have are that when you buy the shades that are "matte" they are still very shimmery, and the colors do tend to appear a little lighter on the skin.

100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Mascara

Packaging - 4 (very good)
Formula - 4 (very good)
Clump Factor - 3 (average)
Lengthening - 2 (not very good)
Separation - 5 (excellent)
Flaking - 3 (average)
Overall:




This mascara is different because it is all natural and pigmented with fruit (instead of ink or coal like most other mascaras). The black mascara (which I tried) was pigmented with black tea, and even though it doesn't matter at all, it smelled good. It allowed for some serious separation, and no clumping, and because the formula is thin it has a long lifespan before any clumping will occur. But because of that "thin" formula it also has no lengthening benefits. It also has no healing or protecting or growth benefits or properties. The reason I am saying that is because while most mascaras don't have any of these benefits, this is all natural, which a lot of people equate to "better for me". But this mascara isn't any better for you than one you find at the drugstore.

MAC Eye Shadow Pucks


Packaging - 4 (very good)
Variety - 5 (excellent)
Lasting Wear - 4 (very good)
Color Vibrancy - 4 (very good)
Overall:


MAC eye shadow is one of MACs most wells known and sold products. It has a high color vibrancy and it doesn't fade to fast. It really does last a long time when you put it on. The reason I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 is because I really feel like with MAC you are just paying for the brand. There are other eye shadows that costs less (or the same) that are just as good (or better than MAC) and for that price it has to be the best of the best.






NYX Slim Pencil Eyeliner

Packaging - 3 (average)
Lasting Wear - 4 (very good)
Smudge Proof - 4 (very good)
Variety - 5 (excellent)
Application - 5 (excellent)
Overall:




I love NYX eyeliner because it is cheap, but it works amazing! It stays on a long time, putting it on is smooth and easy, and there are so many colors to choose from! It's kind to hard to find the Slim Eye Pencils in stores, but you can buy them at NYXcosmetics.com or on Amazon!





Mary Kay Lash Love Lengthening Mascara


Packaging - 4 (very good)
Formula - 5 ( excellent)
Clump Factor - 3 (average)
Lengthening - 4 (very good)
Separation - 3 (average)
Flaking - 4 (very good)
Overall Rating




The reason I gave this mascara a 4 instead of a 5 is because of it's price. While this mascara is top of the line and overall incredible, it is also very pricey! It costs $15 per tube of mascara, and I personally feel like it's not much better than some drugstore mascaras I have bought for $6-$8. While this mascara lengthens, it tends to clump about midway through it's life and doesn't do a whole lot for the separation of your eyelashes.

Lengthening - 4 (very good)
Separation - 5 (excellent)

I love this mascara! It was recommended to me by a makeup artist I met in cosmetology school, and I have been using it on myself and all of my clients ever since. It doesn't clump until you are almost out, it lengthens, and it gives serious separation and definition to the eye lashes! Plus you can pick it up at a drugstore! so it is convenient and budget friendly!
