Hank and Henry Stick With It - Blickity Black Eyeliner

I have heard many good things about this brand but, this was my first Hank and Henry product. I was very excited to try the eyeliner because it was a very hyped up product. I was sadly disappointed at the quality of both the product and the packaging. The eyeliner came out very watery and bleed. And usually, the product would start pooling by the tip. And no matter how gently and how I stored the eyeliner, the top would fray the brush making it look dingy after just two uses. For $20, I expected better.

Tarte Apple of My Eye Eyeshadow Palette

The Tarte eyeshadow quad is composed of four eyeshadows with apple-related names such as golden delicious, caramel, gala, and Honeycrisp. There are two matte colors and two shimmers. The palette colors can be used for a subtle look or a dramatic natural look. I felt like the pigment was a bit weak and felt very talc-y/chalky.  Not my favorite palette but, I did like the shimmery gold colors.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

The Better Than Sex mascara is a cult favorite. I can easily see why hordes of people love this mascara. The hourglass-shaped wand reaches every inch. The formula is enriched with Acacia Senegal Tree Extract and peptides. The vegan-friendly formula provided length and volume. A few coats of the jet black mascara made my lashes look like I am wearing falsies. I did notice that I got a few smudges on my cheeks and lids. But, overall it's still one of my favorites mascaras.

Colourpop Super Shock Ultra Glitter Eyeshadow - Birthday Wish

The creamy powdery eyeshadow goes on smoothly when applied with my fingers. I found when I used a makeup brush there was a lot of fallout. The champagne color eyeshadow has pink, violet and blue glitter. I love that most of Colourpop's eyeshadows are long-lasting and doesn't crease and fade.  I believe I got this eyeshadow for free as part of their birthday special. Otherwise, while it is a beautiful color, it's not usually my go-to color.

Colourpop Super Shock Eyeshadow - Arrow

Colourpop is known for their creme to powder formula which has a slight bouncy texture. The red eye shadow is topped with pink and copper fine glitter. I personally thought this was more a dull rust color than the vibrant red Colourpop lists it as. However, it goes on smoothly and lasts all day but like with the eyeshadow I tried, you will hit pan very quickly, especially if you use everyday or a lot at a time.

Stila Eye Shadow - Kitten

Probably known as Stila's most favorite color, Kitten is probably the most well known color. I have tried the Stila Lip Glaze – Apricot and wasn't overly excited over it. However, the beige shimmery eye shadow provides a sheer or a deep coverage when applied liberally. Perfect for work or a base for smoky eyes.

Pop Beauty Bright Up Your Life Eye Shadow Trio - Sugar Plum

The three color combination palette is perfect for creating  a smoky eye. The eyeshadow promises to be long lasting and long wearing but I notice my eyes creasing and the color fading after an hour or two of use (even with a primer). The color itself came off as soft wash color instead of being strong and bold like many other makeup brands like Nars, Urban Decay, etc. The palette is more affordable, of course, but the color payout wasn't there for me.
