Its All About the Eyes

Wet & Wild Eye Shadow Pallet
&
Tyra Banks Eyes in a Stick Eyeshadow

Well, here we are it is Monday, and I have already been playing with some new makeup. Before today I never tried either of these eye shadows by Wet & Wild or Tyra Banks. I already know I like them both, that is why I am going to share my thoughts with you. 

Wet & Wild Eye-shadow Pallet

First, I paid $6.99 for this Wet & Wild Eye Shadow Pallet at Walgreen's.  Since 'gold' is the thing for spring I wanted to get this pallet because even the brown colors have gold flecks in them.  My first thought (and shame on me for prejudging) is I thought there would be a lot of fall out when applying the eye-shadows.  My bad, seriously... the fall out was not half as bad as some very expensive brands I have tried and used. The pigmentation is fantastic, and it blends out like a dream. In the opening picture, I am wearing four of the wet & wild eye-shadows blended out really light.  I would recommend this pallet, seriously.  You cannot be the price and it is well worth it.  So on a scale 1-10 I will give it a '10'

Tyra Banks-Eyes in a Stick Eye-shadow

Where in the world do I start with this one?  The day I got them in the mail the first thing I did was run each one across my hand to check for two things: (1) Pigmentation (2) Lasting Power.  I got my mail sometime early afternoon and I immediately did the test.  By 12-1 that night/morning the marks were still on my hands.  AFTER washing off my makeup (meaning getting my hands wet), the marks were STILL on my hand.  I finally got the makeup off of my hand my using a facial makeup remover cloth. YES Virginia, these eye-shadows last a very long time!!

I ended up getting three shades, bubbly which is a like a light peach color on my complexion, Green which has beautiful gold flecks in it and violet which is a little shimmery it looks like flecks of silver to me.  Regardless, they are beyond wonderful!!  I have brown eyes, depending on my mood, they can either be dark brown or light brown and all three of these colors go GREAT with brown eyes.

The formula of these eye-shadows feel like butter. They go on smooth and blend like a dream.  But like I said earlier the lasting power of these eye-shadows is amazing.  I am so impressed with them that I had to order two more colors.  There is a total of six shades:  Bubbly (light peach) Sand Dollar (light Bronze) Green (Hazel Green with Gold Flecks) Violet (metallic plum) Brown (chocolate brown with gold pearl) and Black (Gold and Black =Blold) 

1. I drew a side way v shape-above my crease

2. I drew a line half way across my lash line

3. I drew a line completely across my bottom lash line.

Afterwards, I took a small blending brush and smoked the eye-shadow out. Like I said, this green is the most beautiful green shadow I have ever wore... !!

Check out these eye-shadows, I know you will love them as much as I do!!  Contact:  Eva Thomas-Beautytainer
