Maybelline Eye-Studio "Autumn Dream"

Today's review is on the Maybelline Eye Studio Shadow quad in "Autumn Dream". This was a LIMITED EDITION quad, so I'm not sure if you can still get your hands on it, however I have seen it at some local Walgreen's stores alongside some other limited edition quads. These quads retail around $4.99 and this particular quad features a champagne-sparkle shade, a jewel tone purple, a jewel tone green and a navy. After using the quad at least 4 times since purchase, I can say that the colors together wear beautifully! The shades give you that dark smoky look from far away, but getting up close, you can actually see the colors and how they work together. Here are some swatches of the shades:

(Without Primer)

(With Primer) 

As you can see, without using a primer, the shadows can be a tad bit dry and powdery, but over the top of a primer they are stunning on the eyes! I definitely recommend picking up this quad if you are lucky enough to see it in the stores! 

(The finished look: I used the champagne color in the inner corner and as a brow highlight. Then went in with the green all over the lid. I applied the navy in the outer corner and worked it a bit into the crease, and then applied the purple in and above the crease.) 

"Blistex Lip Medex" Lip Balm

This shall be the first post I make to this blog so of course it's going to be a good product. (To be honest I was testing my camera capabilities on my phone and this was the closest product to me xD ) Regardless, this is the Blistex Lip Medex Lip Balm. As you can see on the package, it claims to have a cooling effect to the lips and to "restore moisture balance". 

As you can see from the photos above, this balm has a very thick jelly texture, which allows it to smooth right on the lips. It also does have a tolerably intense cooling effect witch feels amazing on the lips. Because of this lip balm's texture and effect, I personally like to use it right before bed, so the moisturizing process can take place overnight, allowing you to wake up with incredibly soft lips. 

I hope this was alright for a first post...They'll get better with practice, I PROMISE!! :D 

I hope you all have a beautiful day and stay lovely! ^_^
