Jordana Cosmetics "Cat Eye" eyeliners.

PR SAMPLE

ZOMBIES!!

How is everyone? I can't believe I haven't made a blog post since Feb 12th! My life is insane and I'm super behind on blogging. When blogging becomes a chore, you know it's time to take a short break, which is what I decided to do. I'm currently in school now studying Criminology and raising my 3 kiddos. Life is pretty damn good, but super busy! I'd love to hear how all of you are doing!

Today on the blog, I will be reviewing the new "Cat Eye" liquid eyeliners from Jordana Cosmetics. I'm super stoked on these, especially for the price!

The description given to these eyeliners on the Jordana Website:

 

Cat Eye Liner

The Purrfect Cat Eye

•Lightweight, Long Wearing, Smudge-Proof Color that Lines & Defines Eyes

•From Novice to Pro; Easy To Use, Tapered Brush Applicator

•Smooth Application



They come in slender tubes with 0.057 FL OZ of product.  Cat Eye liner comes in 8 different colors and retail for $2.99 each (USD) which may vary.

The color of each liner is indicated on the bottom of the tube.
 

The applicator tip is thin and perfect for achieving 'cat eye' winged liner.


SWATCHES!



I've read a few reviews claiming these liners take a long time to dry. I didn't experience that at all with them. They dry pretty quickly and last FOREVER. A few of the colors, such as 'Envy' and 'Future' aren't very pigmented on the first swipe, but they are really build-able. 'Twilight', 'Orchid' and 'Caribbean' are AWESOME! I was able to get awesome color payoff with two swipes (apply one coat, let dry and then apply another) and my eyeliner last for a good 8 hours until I took it off. I really am quite impressed with these liners and for the price, you can't go wrong. You can find the eyeliners wherever Jordana is sold locally or online.

Have you tried the new 'Cat Eye' liners from Jordana? What are YOUR thoughts?

Frosty Pink, Black, and Silver + Ombre lips!

Good afternoon Zombies!

I hope you've all been well! It's been quite an interesting Fall here in New Mexico! 9 degree weather? What's that!? We've had it and I've been freezing.....

To go along with the icy weather, I thought I'd do a dramatic icy makeup look for fun. I threw some ombre pink and black lips in for good measure! I quite like the final look, as the ombre lips made me feel fierce! ;)










The Goods:
TFSI as primer
Milani "Lovely Frost" Shadow Eyez as base and in water line
Silver from the Wet N Wild "Blue Had Me at Hello" palette on main lid
Matte and glittery black (mixed) from the Wet N Wild "Blue Had Me at Hello" palette in crease
Hi-Fi Cosmetics "Sound Check" for pink above crease, inner corner, and on lower lash line
Fyrinnae "Moon Child" as highlight
Random liner and mascara

Cheeks:
MAC "Fleur Power" blush

Ombre lips:
MAC "Candy Yum Yum" as base
Jordana Cosmetics Glitter Rocks eyeliner in "Black Rocks" as outline

Press your lips together to transfer the black into the pink. Use a lip brush to blend the black more evenly into the pink to create the ombre effect. Once you've done that, outline the lips once more with the black.

And there you have it! Easy peasy ombre lips.

Have a wonderful week everyone!

 

I Am Pain, LOTD!

ZOMBIES!

Monday? Again? Wasn't it just Monday last week?

I did at least do a little makeup this weekend, because I actually had a bit of extra time. I wanted to use the new Jordana eyeshadow pencils, and some of the new colors from Darling Girl's Halloween (Oh the Horror) 2013 collection so I came up with the following look. 

I WILL have swatches of the colors that Susan sent me from the 'Oh the Horror' collection soon! PROMISE! 











The Goods:

TFSI as primer
Jordana Made to Last eyeshadow pencil in "Stay on Black" as base. My base did not crease or cake my eyeshadow. Impressed!
Darling Girl "I am Pain" patted over black base all over lid
Darling Girl "Invisible Man" inner corner
Darling Girl "The Count" added to crease and blended
Darling Girl "I am Pain" blended above crease
Fyrinnae "Moon Child" for highlight (this is my favorite highlight color of all time)
Jordana Made to last eyeshadow pencil in "Aqua Last" added to waterline and lower lash line
Darling Girl "I am Pain" patted over "Aqua Last" on lower lash line
Random liner and mascara to finish

Cheeks:
Stila "Garden Bliss" all over shimmer powder

Lips:
Darling Girl "Bewitched" lip gloss. (This was from a few Halloween collections ago.)

There is just something about deep blues and bright pinks that I love. I can't put my finger on it.

Do you own any colors from Oh the Horror? What are your favotites?

Jordana Cosmetics 'Made to Last' eyeliner and eyeshadow pencils!

Good morning Zombies!

I meant to have this post up yesterday, but a migraine wiped me out. Anyhoo, here we go!

I was given to opportunity to try out the new Jordana Cosmetics 'Made to Last' Liquid Eyeliner and Eyeshadow pencils and have them swatched for you all.

Per Jordana's website:

12HR Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencil

• Long-lasting (Up to 12 Hour wear)

• Easy to use
• Water-Resistant, Crease-Proof

• Paraben-Free

 12 HR Made To Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil

• Intense, Instant Color Eyeliner that is Made to Last

• Smooth-Gliding Pencil For Precise Application
• Long-Lasting (Up to 12 hour wear)
• Water & Transfer Resistant
• Paraben-Free

Eyeshadow pencils come in 8 color.


Liquid Eyeliner pencils come in 6 color.


I love the chunky feel to the eyeshadow pencils. The packaging is also quite durable making the pencils have a sleek look and feel to them. The product glides right on the skin.


Liquid Eyeliner pencils are also pretty sleek and easy to work with. The product tends to glide on very smoothly.


Swatches of the eyeshadow pencils. Looks at Prolong Purple! LOOK AT IT!

Swatches of the Liquid Eyeliner pencils.


My thoughts:

I LOVE the eyeshadow pencils with a passion. My favorites of the group are Prolong Purple, Endless Emerald, Stay On Black, and Aqua Last. Not only do these glide on the skin super easily, but they are so pigmented and last forever. It took me getting in the shower and using my face wash to get the swatches off. :D I didn't notice much creasing with these and love the glitter in a few of the shades. Like I mentioned above, the packaging is really sleek on these pencils and has a nice smooth feel to them, making them feel more *expensive* and *luxurious* than their price tag would have you think. These will make a great base for underneath eyeshadow or fun to use alone.

I did indeed like a few of the Liquid Eyeliner pencils. I felt these were a little harder to work with and that the product didn't want to spread evenly in the swatch, even though they did glide on with no pulling (if that makes sense). Charcoal Definition was the hardest of the group to work with as it ended up patchy once applied. I love the pigmentation in Black Point and Jade Jewel is definitely a nice green jeweled liner. Purple Fix has pink sparkles within the base but once again, a little harder to apply evenly. They do seem to last a long time once applied.

12 HR Made To Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil can be found at your local Walgreens retail for $2.49 (USD) each which may vary from location.

12HR Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencil can be found at your local Walgreens and retail for $3.99 (USD) each, which may vary from location.

Have you seen or tried any of the new Made to Last pencils? What are your thoughts?

I've been in love with glitter/flakie mani's these days, so I decided to create another one today. The green I used was a little to opaque to allow for the glitter to shine through, so I added more glitter on top! Of course, DUH!

Be sure to click the images for maximum awesome!





 

The Goods:
Milani base coat
2 coats of Color Club "What a Shock!"
1 coat of Jordana "My Superstar" glitter
1 more coat of "What a Shock" (I should have skipped this step)
1 coat of Sally Hansen "Hidden Treasure"
Sech Vite Dry Fast top coat

I really like the look of this mani. In the sunshine a the glitter and flakie just sparkle and shine. FUN!

Zombies!

This weeks makeup challenge in Never Too Much Sparkle is "Orange" and I decided to come up with a fun manicure. I don't have many orange eyeshadows but plenty of fun orange nail polish!

I used Spoiled's "Lox-y Lady" and Jordana's "Cooper Blaze" for the bling. I topped it off with China Glaze's Fast Foward top coat.
