Quickie Product Reviews - 12/22/2008

Wet n Wild Ultimate Brow

I found these by spotting the "Last Chance" tag underneath their cubby. I had no idea Wet n Wild made such a product. There is a pencil on one end and a mascara-like substance on the other end. I've asked at Walgreens before if they sold anything like a mascara but for eyebrows and the answer was always 'no'. Well, temporarily they do, until they dissappear. Which they have because I bought them all out - of that store anyway. They also have a darker brown, which I bought one of to try. It works on me but not as well as the lighter so there is a lone dark brown left at the Walgreens on Pine Ridge Road.

I thought I would be driving all over trying to get the rest in my color. They work really well & give me a more casual, not as 'done' look. But the truth is that it takes just as long to apply as my powder. I always thought it would be like, slick and it's on. But it still takes a steady hand because it is easy to make a mess with.

Overall rating - 4/5. I do wish it were quicker/easier to apply since I thought it would be a real time save. However, I think it gives me a less 'done' look & I don't want to look like I tried too hard EVERY day.



Cover Girl Smoothers - Illuminator

Nice but not quite what I was hoping. However, anything that is supposed to cover my undereye circles is never quite what I was hoping. It covers a little, does that illuminator thing do distract (I guess) from the purple undereye issue. It is rather thin & light colored though - even for me who is a step darker than an albino. So it kind of gives me raccoon eyes for a bit in the morning and then disappears when I touch it.

Overall - 3/5, just because I like that it goes on quickly. I don't have to smudge it much, just tap with my finger to blend a tiny bit.



Revlon ColorStay Mineral Eye Shadow

Nice & stays on for a long time. Very sparkly, good colors for us pale girls.

4/5 but not because it's mineral - I don't even notice that. I like the color palette a lot & that it stays on well.
