CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 4-Kit Shadows in Sugar Coated Review and Swatches

Hey guys!

CoverGirl has added new set of shades in their Eye Enhancers collection with sleeker and thinner packages. In Canada, I have seen the newly packaged quads in Walmart, Shopper's Drug Mart and Zellers. I bought mine from Walmart for about $6.00.

CoverGirl Eye Enhancers in Sugar Coated includes shades in mossy green, eggplant purple, turquoise, and golden peach. The pigmentation for these shades are quite sheer but you can pack them on for them to show up more.

On to the swatches.

Without primer

With primer

Over white cream base

I think the colours showed up the best and are more vibrant over white cream base than using just primer underneath.

I have used each of the shades individually but I have not used them altogether in a look yet. I can't seem to create a look showcasing all shades that would look good together.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post!

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipsticks in #08 and #14 by Kate Moss Review and Swatch

Hey guys!

Rimmel has recently launched a lipstick collection wherein they had collaborated with Kate herself for limited release. These lipsticks come in a sleek black tube with their signature crown on top and Kate's name printed across.

I have two out of the five that they have launched and I have to say that I quite like the colour payoff of the ones I have. I have shade numbers 08 and 14 and they are the nude-y, MLBB (my lips but better) shades. I think it's boring that they only gave numbers and no specific names for their shades but I can get pass that.

Shade # 08

This shade is a plum-y colour with somewhat of a pink hint to it. It has a matte creamy finish but its quite drying and not that moisturizing to the lips. You surely need to apply lip balm first before wearing this lipstick.

For the swatch

Shade # 14

This shade is definitely lighter that shade #08 with a brown undertone. This also has a matte creamy finish but its not as drying as shade #08 on my lips.

For the swatch

Rimmel claims that these lipsticks will wear for 8 hours but they only lasted me about 3 - 4 hours and needed to be re-applied again. Also, I have to note that both lipsticks have a strong plastic scent that can be overpowering that will last for about 10 minutes after applying them.

Nail of the Week: Essie Ballet Slippers

Hey guys!

For today's post I would like to share one of the new shades of nail polish I recently bought. Since my nail polish collection has a lot of bright and dark colours, I thought I would change it up with something pale and nude-y.

Ballet Slippers is officially described as a "classic pale pink with sheer finish." It's a gorgeous light and girly pink but since it has a sheer finish, I needed 3 coats to get full opacity. This is one of the first Essie nail polishes that I have tried and I was quite surprised with how it applied. The application was somewhat streaky and uneven, and it took quite a while for it to completely dry.
