EOTD: Maybelline Pink Persuasion & Revlon Black Magic/ REVIEW

I decided to try out these two quads today... It was quite a coincidence that the colors are literally identical to each other!

I've shown these two products in my previous haul with a mini review which can be found here: *hello, click me to see!* 

However, today was the first time I really tried out these products on my eyes so I will go into a little more detail!

Products:

Revlon's Illuminance Creme Shadow
Maybelline Eye Studio Quad

I applied Two Faced Shadow Insurance (an eyeshadow base/primer) first before applying the Revlon's creme shadows and I also applied a thin layer because creme shadows tend to crease easily.

I placed the white on my browbone, the silver on my crease, the pink on my lid and the black in the outer corner.
Then I just placed the same shades from the Maybelline quad onto where I placed the creme shadow colors! :)
It's like playing the matching game! lol


Pigmentation/Texture:
Maybelline Quad:  The pigmentation is pretty decent. The texture is smooth and blendable. 
The creme base underneath definitely help bring out the colors more. But I think it would be fine without a base/primer because I did a swatch before and it was pretty decent!

Revlon's Creme Shadow: The pigmentation is good when you layer it on. However, that could cause it to crease faster..
You would need to pack it heavy if you want real color pay off but you wouldn't need to and you shouldnt anyways! 
It's very creamy and blendable.
 
Creasing?

I didn't experience too much creasing, although I never really do anyways.. my lids are aren't oily. But like I've mentioned earlier, I highly recommend using a light layer of the creme shadows because I hear the Revlon's creme shadows crease very easily.

Price?

I don't remember the prices for these products, I'm sorry :( But both products should be under $10 each!

Okay time for the look!

EYES:

FACE TIME:



 Foundation: Revlon's Colorstay in Medium Beige

Cheekies: Maybelline's Expert Wear Blush in Berry Sorbet

Lips: Revlon's Matte Lipstick in Pink Pout
Revlon's Lipgloss in Pink Pop

It was a little too pink for me, I wanted to tone it down a little so I also applied Gosh Lipstick in Darling on top!

Wow, it was a Maybelline and Revlon day today huh? Weird.. quite a drugstore face I got on hahaha.
Hope you liked it...! 

NOTM - L.A Colors

I got this nail polish last winter at Forever 21 and I was absolutely in love with it...
I decided to bring it back and then the boyfriend said "ew" ....

It's different, and at the time it was one of my absolute favourite nail polish color.. and now I'm just not too sure about it anymore... boys always ruins it! LOL

It's actually a matte nail polish but I'm not a fan of matte finishes, here is what it looks like matte. 
*click* the pictures for better view :)


 And using my absolute favourite top coat: Seche Vite....


It's funny because last winter, my friend (that was a boy) said he really liked this color.. and that it was his favourite nail polish color I wore.

Well, at the end of the day: What do boys know anyways? Pfft! :P

NOTM

I totally forgot about my nails of the moment posts!!! It's been such a long time! So I do apologize! And as an apology, I will post a few pictures of some of the NOTM's I've had. :)

This is the current color I have on. 

It is Lancome's Vernis Magnetic Nail Polish in Extrovert
The color is a nice berry red, it's a nice slightly creamy finish with absolutely no shimmers. The brush application is nice and thin so you can really get into the edge. The formula is also really great and smooth!
(I am not sure if this color is still available...)


I wore this color last week, it's also by Lancome. It's their Le Vernis Nail Polish collection #013
This is a my absolute favourite royal blue nail polish. It is beautiful in the sunlight! It's a true deep dark royal blue with lighter blue shimmers.. absolutely gorgeous in person!

The next two following pictures were done by my sister. They're gel nails. :)


My favourite summer color! 

Revlon's Nail Polish in Minted.

And here are old NOTM pictures posted on my twitter...
 
OPI - Feelin' Hot Hot Hot


OPI - Shorts Story

I have a problem. I can't keep my nails naked and bare... if I'm not allowed to wear nail polish to a job, I might cry... sigh*
Ps. Follow me on twitter for more NOTM's. I definitely post beauty related things there more frequently! :)

Hope ya'll enjoyed this quick post! Remember, your nails deserve some attention too.. and it definitely adds to every outfit look. ;) 

xoxo.
