Mally Beauty!! Review and swatch photo bomb :D

Hey everyone!!
This is a post about some pretty awesome products from Mally Beauty. Where have you heard that name before? Well the products are sold on QVC and the creator, Mally herself, is a well known makeup artist.
The two products I was sent are: Evercolor Silk eye defining system and Evercolor poreless face defender. 
Which did I like more? It is a toss up. But I will introduce ya'll to the first one! Evercolor silk eye defining system.

Why is it awesome?
Packaging is absolutely adorable!! Pastel snake skin boxes!
The actual packaging of the products are also fun. They are the same color as the outer boxes in a soft metalic plastic compacts. The Eye defining system was in the color Tidal Wave. 


Using just the flat oval side of the double sided brush I was able to create a fun colorful cat eye with a sharp wing!

I lined this eye with the eyeliner and then went over it with the powder eye shadow to soften the look!



Cute packaging!!!!!!!
Comes with it's own brush!!! 



The top is just the eyeshadow (no primer used in any of these swatches). The second from the top is the eye liner only and the bottom is the eyeliner smudged out.

Eye shadow layered over eyeliner. The darker section is only eyeliner the shimmery is with eye shadow over it. 

These two were super easy to apply. The eye shadow brush is small and precise. So you can layer eye shadow directly over the eyeliner and not have any unnecessary smudginess!
I  love the color, it is universal and would look good on anyone. It is on trend and fun for any time of the year depending on how you wear it! I love to wear the eyeliner smudged along my lower lash line to give me a fun pop of color!




This product is not as obvious. It is a great pore refiner and feels wonderful on the skin. But there isn't a whole lot you can say about it. I love the packaging. It is convenient and easy to use. It includes a foam round that is soft on the skin and it creates a soft finish that is quite nice. Also a great multitasker! You can use it both under and over your finished makeup.

Now that is just about it.
I hope this was a helpful review.
Until Next Time,
GLITTERPUKEE!!!!

     LOVE THESE EYELINERS!!! I actually did a test to prove that they are waterproof :D Just because I am a dork like that.



    The colors are amazing and color payoff is even better. Check out these swatches :D
    Before I went snorkeling... ALL DAY

    After.. I have found that the Natural Smokey and Liquid eyeliner have the best staying power over a few different tests..




    Beautiful packaging of the actual products!!!




    These are some of the most amazing eyeliner products I have ever used. I love that they do not tug on the eye in any way. They do not run when you splash your face with water... but a good cry does seem to dislodge them fairly easily. They suggest the use of just some warm water and what I found to be an awesome microfiber wash cloth that they include in their Ultimate Goddess set. 
           The products I received were the Natural Smokey eye pencil, of which is the non-shimmery black pencil pictured in the swatches and photos above. It has amazing staying power and I love that all of the pencils included a built in smudger!

    The Bronze Amulet Goddess pencil, which is a beautiful bronze that gently adds some shimmer to your eyes without being too dramatic.

    The Charcol Obsidian Smokey Goddess pencil, the shimmery black featured above. It is a great soft black that adds a little extra something that you just wouldn't get with a plain old black pencil.

    The Liquid Define eyeliner. The finest tip eyeliner I have used in a very long time. It is super pigmented, drys just fast enough that you can catch it before it is there for the day but you wont smudge it if you close your eye too soon. I was able to get sooo close to my lashline that most people would not even notice that I am wearing eyeliner. I was also able to wear the liner all day. 

    Lo and behold. I forgot to take off my eyeliner one of the days I was testing these products. I woke up without the nasty raccoon eyes or the I  haven't slept in days look/never got home last night black stains on my pillow. 

    THE MASCARA!!! There is a reason why Eye of Horus is famous for their mascara!!!! It allows for both natural and dramatic lash looks. The mascara doesn't budge during the day. The brush is amazing and allows you to get every little lash without creating a crazy clumpy mess. You know all of the companies that promise *clump free* yada yada??  This mascara is the closest to clump free I have ever used. I apply one coat from underneath to put my lashes in position and then a second to give them a fuller look from the top. And I barely need to wipe off the brush either. Eye of Horus products are now my new go to :)




     

    I would hate to bore you guys... But I also received an awesome pencil sharpener and mirror compact from the company. To say the least they are awesome. No splinters from the sharpener and there is a magnifying mirror in the compact. As well as a normal one. 

    I SUGGEST THEIR PRODUCTS 100%

    They are in Australia however, so I do understand if the shipping and the fact that they seem to retail for A LOT. But remember that the site is not in USD and shipping isn't too bad when you get more than one product. 

    Check out their site and social media :D

    Re: Frugal Midwest's cry for help: Humidity hates my makeup D:


    Hello Patty,
    I live in Florida. Miami to boot. So I know the worst (And I Mean the WORST) of  worst humidity wise.
    Generally I do not wear a lot of makeup in the summer. Going to the beach, going running, hanging out with friends, going to the pool generally are not makeup occasions in my book but instead sunscreen days.
    However, there are loads of great brands that have put out 24 hour or waterproof formulations.
    Amazing cosmetics amazing concealer is a Waterproof albeit pricey option the .2oz tube pictured is $28 at sephora. http://www.sephora.com/amazing-concealer-to-go-P208606


    Buxom WaterProof Smoky Eye Stick is just plain awesome. Great color selection and 3 in one capabilities it can be used as a super pigmented shadow, smokey or liner because it has a handy sharpener at the bottom. (Can tell I used this before XD) It is $19 and will last forever. But the price might not be all that awesome if you want every color. I will be honest. I can't afford even one atm. Worried about paying for CLEP exams lol


    A ton of companies have waterproof formulas. Just google Waterproof cosmetics. or search on Total Beauty .. (I LOVE TOTAL BEAUTY!!)



    Look into some sealing facial mists and opt for either a BB (beauty or blemish balm) as well as tinted moisturizers. They tend to hold up better in the heat because they are not as highly pigmented. Another product that is starting to become popular is the tinted sunscreen.

    A sealing facial mist that I will get to review soon and have heard amazing things about is .. Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray. I also like ELF cosmetics Mist and Set from their site;
    Wish you could have a product for your makeup like Hairspray is for your hair? Well�keep your makeup staying in place all day with a radiance boosting invisible hold with our new Makeup Mist & Set. The invigorating mist moisturizes and soothes the skin with key ingredients Aloe, Green Tea, Cucumber and Vitamins A, C & E. The lightweight, comfortable and alcohol free formula improves makeup wearability and prevents color from running or fading.

    It is only $3
    They also have a new one from the mineral line that is not sealing but revitalizing. It is a bit pricier at $8 but boasts lots of great ingredients. 
    From their site:

    e.l.f. Mineral Revitalizing Mist

    Replenish and boost your skin with the revitalizing Mineral Mist. This unique blend of Witch Hazel, Rosemary, Chamomile, Honeysuckle, Aloe and Vitamin B work together to balance and enhance the skin, leaving you looking energized and renewed. These nourishing key ingredients keep your complexion radiant, brighter and provides instant moisture to smooth and boost skin circulation for a firmer more youthful glow. The lightweight and invigorating mist leaves skin feeling revived and restored, perfect for the gym, office or after travel to rehydrate dry skin or to refresh makeup throughout the day.

    BB creams are a big deal right now. I have not had the chance to try one.. **HEAR THAT REVIEWING GODS!!! I WANNA REVIEW ONE** XD Seriously, if you know some good ones post below. Their benefits are being sung from the heavens and I would love to know what you guys think. Smashbox has a great one that everyone is talking about, as well as Garnier Fructis.  Clinique also has a BB creme. I love clinique but theirs is about $37. I will have to go and check it out in store soon so I can tell you guys what I think of it. If you are feeling gutsy it is available at any clinique counter now ;D


    I love Laura Mercier's Tinted moisturizers in both oil free and regular!! The have the perfect amount of coverage for me. (have you seen photos of my skin on here? I don't wear makeup in them>..<)  They do run for $42 so I have not had the chance to buy myself a full sized one. Got lucky and found a mini in a Sephora Faves Box.  I wear Bisque or Natural.  According to the site:
    This sheer, lightweight formula moisturizes the skin softening fine, dry lines, while adding a smooth, healthy glow to your complexion leaving a natural, dewy finish. Providing broad spectrum SPF 20 UVA/UVB sunscreen protection from the harmful, damaging rays of the sun, Tinted Moisturizer features an antioxidant vitamin complex that acts a free radical scavenger to protect the skin from even the most aggressive effects of the environment. Perfect for all skin types, Tinted Moisturizer is extremely long-wearing and remains colour true. 
    The only Tinted Sunscreen I have heard of is from CoTZ. But tons of companies are sprouting up with their own versions. This is another uncharted territory. But I love the idea. Who needs more than one face product during the summer anyways?? face wash, serum and moisturizer are a duh but foundation shouldn't be a must in the heat of summer.

    I hope this was helpful :D
    I will be posting more about sunscreen and summer products in the next few weeks including two different kinds of self tanner. (one smells like chocolate Puddin :DDD) and a few more sunscreens

    Until Next Time,
    GLITTERPUKEE!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

    Eylure false lashes review/demo

    Alo :D 
    This post is about the awesome false eyelashes Eylure makes.I was sent two of their new line Naturalites to test out. One is called Superfull and the other Natural Volume. In my photo review/demo thing. I love that these eyelashes are soft, feather light and fairly easy to apply. The fact that they weigh so little actually threw me off a bit. I am used to applying fairly heavy false eyelashes for runway shows (Not me modeling but doing the makeup) when I was in a design highschool. So barely feeling the weight in my hand was strange. I had a harder time than normal applying these lashes because of it. Old habits dye hard they say.

    The lashes I used in my photo demo the Natural Volume ones

     The wonderful visual instructions that come on the back of the package. I love that they help in visualizing how applying false eyelashes should work.


    Contents of the package. Not only does each one include its own little tube of great glue, but it has this neat little application system that makes not globbing on wayy too much eyelash glue a breeze. I also love that it is not a squeeze tube or a one time use packette.  There is a small angled stick inside that is your applicator. Scroll down to see photos of it :)


    The photo below if of my natural eye lash. If you check out my last post about eyelash tinting you can tell that my skin definitely has improved due to a skin peel I recently did. That is for a later post however. 

    With the eyelashes on

    My right eye has the lashes on and my left is my natural lashes. I love that I was able to wear the lashes all day without them coming detached from my eyelid or feeling heavy. I would recommend these lashes who want a natural looking eye boost :) They are pretty, natural (ish) looking and make the eyes look bigger and brighter without the weight of a heavy fuller lash. 



    That is about it. 
    I hope this review was helpful :D And check out the Eylure site here   or paste this link in the Url  http://www.eylure.com/
