Chic Beauty And Fashion

Eyeshadows that are promised to smooth blend and hydrate, a Perfetto eyeliner that will create three rad effects, a fun tin as well as a character nail file and “toy” magnet: this makeup set by Tokidoki has just about everything a girl can imagine. Not only does it offer so much, but the eyeshadow set just seems to lend itself to imagination & playfulness. What youthful inspirations- what more could you ask for in the way of a beauty boost? Sephora offers this set for a mere $35, although the site claims the set is worth near $225. Not sure how that’s possible…but I sure do still wanna check it out.

Smashbox’s new smashing Limited Edition eye collection comes in natural shades that promise to make your eyes look “wow.” The set is better than an artist’s palette with nine delicious confections, eye shadows that will enhance but not overpower, two creamy eyeliners (my newest fave in eyeliners, the cream). An eyelid primer is included to ensure staying power, a guarantee that this Softbox works, and also included is a two sided brush. Everything you need to make up your eyes better than nature made them while -ssshhh!- still keeping it a secret is contained in a fabulous box, stylish and compact.

Ooh la la!  This is one of my new favorite things.

By Two Faced, Eye Shadows in colors that are meant to make the eye look “naked” as though you just rolled out of bed.

Meaning, Natural Beauty at its best. Their first palette like unto was “Natural” although Buyer Beware, these shades look much more natural (ie barely there) than the actual “Natural”. Although Naked is true to form- the form that your eyes will be in after applying these fabulous shades. I don’t really like this one nearly as much as the first, but hey ya gotta hand it to ‘em for trying.

Bare Escentuals has done it again with their Buxom Mascara- its been a known winner for over a year now and will enhance any set of eyes. This mascara creates a dramatique look, but isn’t really “too much” nor the most intense mascara effect out there. My fave though is the new color, “Blue Noir”. This super pigmented beauty is all a girl could ask for- I have green eyes, and while blue is not typically recommended to bring out the “greens” so to speak, I noticed a huge difference in comparison to my black beauty mascara. My eyes are just a tad bit too light for black mascara to really do the trick, but I highly recommend this color to all those who have light eyes like me. The color enhanced rather than overpowered for an uber-pretty-peepers look.

Anastasia’s Age Defying Eyeshadow in Illumin8te comes in 5 fab pallets so there are plenty to choose from. From the beginning, her first and “original” eye shadow provided nice neutrals that would flatter just about anybody. As you can see, she’s been quite busy whipping up a line that’s to die for. I’ve only tried the Original case but ooh baby- did it make my eyes glisten! If you are obsessive about preventing eye puffy circles you will love this stuff. I doubt it would take away the nasty look of a night on the town (sleep does wonders) but it certainly made my eyelids look smooth and carefree.
