MAC PEARLGLIDE INTENSE EYE LINER

The MAC PEARLGLIDE INTENSE EYE LINER in the color LORD IT UP is perfect for evenings out in Hawaii. It gives the right amount of shimmer and glitter without looking too done up. The creamy texture makes it very easy for me to create the look I want in a short amount of time. I've been using it both as an eyeliner and as an eye shadow. Without primer, this eye liner does smudge a little but with a primer, it's smudge proof. I'm giving this eyeliner a GOOD rating. I would have given this product an excellent rating if it didn't require primer.

BITE LUMINOUS CREME LIPSTICK SET OF 5

If you have a beauty artist in training in your household like I do, then you know what it's like to have one set of makeup as your own and one set of makeup to use on other people. My teen daughter has done makeup for 5 people for prom this year. She started her makeup collection to use on other people last year and has a decent amount of products and brushes to use on them. Her newest addition that she got a couple of months ago has been the BITE LUMINOUS CREME LIPSTICK LET OF 5. Prior to receiving it she was using lipsticks from different brands and purchasing them one at a time. This mini set of 5 lipsticks is perfect for the age group she has been working on. The colors are creamy and go on light in color and the price is reasonable for the amount of lipsticks received. I'm giving this lipstick set a GOOD rating for its price, usable size, and color selections. It would have been nice to have these lipsticks in a palette type of case to store them easier rather than a box.

MAC PENULTIMATE EYE LINER

The MAC PENULTIMATE EYE LINER in rapid black easily creates an amazing cat eye with its super fine tip. After many hours of use, this eyeliner is also smudge free. I'm giving this liquid liner an EXCELLENT rating. Minus the expensive price tag, I have no complaints about this product.

JUNE 2012 MYGLAM BAG

MYGLAM bag for the month of June came a little later than normal because of some shipping issues. I was very impressed with the timely help and problem solving through email that I received during the process of getting a new bag shipped to me from the Myglam team. On a scale from 1-10, I'm giving them a rating of 8 1/2 for customer service for my experience with them during the month of June. My rating for them would have been higher if there was a contact number to be able to speak to someone personally. 


The contents of July's bag included:
Nyx Lip Smacking Fun Colors in the color LSS 629 Power .14 oz.
Living Proof Nourishing Styling Cream 2 fl. oz.
Philosophy Take a Deep Breath Oil Free Energizing Oxygen Gel Cream Moisturizer .4 fl. oz.
Marbella Permanent Eyeliner Pen in the color black


All beauty products came in a gold glitter cosmetic bag. Out of everything, I like the Living Proof nourishing styling cream best. It works in fighting frizz and smells clean and fruity. I tweeted about the Marbella permanent eyeliner on the day that I would begin using it. I'm not crazy about this eyeliner, sad to say because I was excited and hopeful it would be my new favorite. In this humid Hawaiian heat, it did not pass the no smudge test. Approximately 2 hours after use, it did smudge. I did however love the tip of the pen and how easily and quickly I was able to create the look I wanted. 

SEPHORA COLLECTION MEDIUM SHOPPING BAG MAKEUP PALLETE

If you needed one travel palette that carries almost everything, the SEPHORA COLLECTION MEDIUM SHOPPING BAG MAKEUP PALETTE would be okay to have. The eye shadows go on very light and the blushes come in small rectangle trays making them hard to use. The lip glosses are great and come in 12 wearable shades for day and night. It closes neatly and compact  in a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 1" sleek box with slide out trays. My rating for this product is FAIR. 2 large squares for blushes and some pigmented shadows would have made this palette excellent.
