Hi everyone

packaging

Product claims:

This smooth gel formula glides on perfectly. Use it as a long-lasting eyeshadow or eyeliner! Enriched with Vitamin E to nourish and hydrate the delicate eye area.
Dip a brush into the pot and apply along the lash line for rich eyeliner color. Use a brush or your finger and apply to the eyelid and buff out for vibrant eyeshadow color. 

Product experience

Product comes in these small plastic pot I bought the colors cruisin chic which is a shimmery medium taupe and brownie points which is a shimmery warm dark brown you get 0.19 oz 5.5 g for $2.00

The product was creamy to the touch but felt very light on the skin and blended easily.
Unfortunately the wear time is limited, it creased and disappeared on my lids when I wore this alone. It is a must that set this product with an eye shadow to extend the wear time.

brownie points and cruisin chic

Pros

• 10 colors to choose from
• Has good color pay off
• Inexpensive
• Easy to apply with fingers or a brush
• Easy to blend
• The product feels very light and creamy
• Easy to remove or correct, doesn't need specialized make up remover.
• Compact easy to store and travel with

worn alone after 5 hours of wear

Cons

• Comes in a pot
• Unsanitary
• Only comes in shimmery finish.
• You get a lot less product compared to other cream eye shadows.
• Did not last every long, creased and disappeared if used alone 
• Needs to set with powder, it will increase wear time.

set with a powder after 7 hours 

This product I feel is best used as an eye shadow base. If you don't have oily eyelids you might be able to get away with using this product alone. For me I have to set it with a corresponding eye shadow.

Face Make up review: E.L.F. Studio Concealer and highlighter duo

Hi everyone,

I hope your having a wonderful week, today I will be reviewing the ELF studio line concealer and highlighter duo.
Like everyone else I'm starting to have dark under eye circles. I get plenty of sleep but age is starting to show and I am in need of a little help to brighten my eyes.

Product claims:
Corrects under eye problematic areas such as dark circles and bags easily and effectively.
Contains vitamins A & E, chamomile, green tea and caffeine to moisturize, soothe and tighten the skin around the delicate eye area.

Product experience:
The product comes in a rectangular shaped tube. One end is the concealer and the other end is the highlighter or brightener. It has a doe foot one applicator and you get 0.17oz/ 5g for both concealer and highlighter. First I think I bought the wrong color light is too light for me right now, since summer is beginning to end I still have my tan. The concealer is very light in texture, it will not hide any heavy under eye circles.

Pros:

• Compact, the packaging is sleek, doesn't take much room easy to store and good for travel.
• You get both the highlighter and concealer in one
• Price $3
• Can be purchased online or at participating target stores.
• Great for cleaning up fall out from dark eye shadows.

Cons:

• Comes with a doe foot wand, not very sanitary but it's okay for personal use.
• It only comes in 3 colors fair, light and medium.
• It's a very light concealer, it will not cover really dark under eye circles.
• The highlighter is a stark white, unless your very fair then this is not going to work on your skin and will look ashy.

All in all I wasn't crazy about this concealer duo, I liked the idea of having two items in one compact case. The problem is the formula, I think I got the wrong color, I feel this is too light for my skin. The highlighter is just too stark white that it looks unnatural.
