Makeup Forever Artist Shadows - swatches

Makeup Forever's new artist shadows are extremely creamy, pigmented and blendable.

I can't express how much I love them, and after searching a bunch of them at Sephora, I chose these three for my first palette. There were a few others that I wanted, but they were sold out (eg. Morello Cherry, Red Brown, Auburn, and Burgundy).

Here are swatches of the shades I purchased:

L-R: Fawn, Mahogany, Cauldron

These retail for $21 each at Sephora (stores and online) or $22 (with a single case), $34 (for 2 with a case), or $44 (for 3 with a case).

Loreal Infallible eyeshadow - eternal sunshine

Hello ~
Today ill be reviewing the Loreal infallible eyeshadow in Eternal Sunshine. I'm sure that many of you have already heard of this eyeshadow, but I love it so much that I want to review it today!

So let's get started with the review

I have really been loving Loreal infallible eyeshadows. They are so creamy, pigmented, and long wearing

I like to use Eternal Sunshine as an all over lid color, with a darker color in the outer v, or as an inner corner highlight, or sheeted out as a brow highlight on the brow bone. It's one if those versatile colors that really goes with anything, since it is not too yellow and not too gold.
This eyeshadow lasts like crazy! And it is so wearable - i could wear it every day and still be able to change up my looks, by adding other colors to my eyes in conjunction with this one.

In case you haven't heard about these shadows, they are sold at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart - or any other drugstore that sells cosmetics. They go for about $7 on average but there are always sales and coupons to make them even cheaper!!

Do you own this product? Let me know? Any questions - leave a comment and I'll do my best to answer!

Xoxo, jammie

Maybelline Colorplush eyeshadow quads

OKee DOKee
so i have these shadows in 5 different colors - picked them up at Longs or CVS on sale for 30% off.  So, they came out to $5.14 each.  I have only used one so far, since i just recently got thses.  I used the Taupe Temptress one and it is SOOO beautiful.  This eyeshadow is soooo shimmery and smooth, and goes on without much effort at all.  I touched one of the shadows and swatched it on my arm, and with just a light touch, soo much shimmer came onto my arm, which i love, (but this may not be good for those who hate shimmer).
This eyeshadow is definately a great quality shadow and i love it!
 this shadow may be used either dry or wet (wet for a more dramatic look).  i definitely recommend this product and would buy it again (:  i got a great deal on these shadows as they are usually around ten dollars/  (: LOVEE it (:
