Its All About the Eyes

Empowering Women with Makeup

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

Smack My Fat Lash-Tyra Banks


Empowering women with Makeup

Did I find the Holy Grail of Mascara's?


EVERYBODY that knows me knows how big of a mascara junkie I am. It would be a horrible thing in my life to be without mascara and to be without lip products. Seriously!!  

Recently, I have been introduced to a new mascara that matches perfect with the Blinc Black Eyelash Primer .  It is Tyra Banks mascara called Smack my Fat Lash Now, of course you will hear me say a zillion times that I cannot be without such and such product because I am madly in love with it and so on.  But it almost feels like I have found the Holy Grail of Mascara's when I started using Blinc Primer with Tyra Banks Smack my Fat Lash.  Yeah, I know right.. pretty big comment coming from me!!


A little about Smack my Fat Lash Mascara

When you start searching for mascara's the two main things most people look for are: either lengthening mascara's or mascara's that adds a lot of volume and/or thickens.  Smack my Fat Lash does both in one product!  The formula is a dual action formula that adds volume and extension technologies to create one amazing product.  No, you are not seeing things, on one side of the mascara wand you will see blue which is a blue volumizing formula and the other side will be black which is the extension formula.  When you apply it to your lashes, do not worry, you will only see this beautiful rich black color!

To apply the mascara, start at the base of your lashes and wiggle the wand back and forth in a side motion, than bring the brush upwards.  You can take your lashes as long as you want. For me, so far I have only applied two coats, I am curious to see how far I can take the length of my lashes though.  I will have to try it and post an update!

As with most people, I am addicted to reading reviews.  Yes, it helps me to understand the product a little better but in the end, I always make my own decision if I want to try the product or not.  Reading the reviews on Smack my Fat Lash was pretty amazing.. there are 19 reviews posted and 17 of the reviews are FIVE (5) STARS... what does that tell you?

I am just going to add a side note here about the Tyra Banks Beautytainer Megan Burk. I can honestly say I have never met a nicer person - that is a 100% devoted to her beliefs in Tyra Banks Products! She will do everything she can to make sure you are completely satisfied with your products. To ME personally, if the representative of a company has a bad attitude, I don't care how good the product is, I will not purchase it.  Megan has found a forever customer in me-not to mention I am head over heels about this mascara.  For me it is a win-win... I found a fantastic mascara and a beautiful friend!!
