Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow Review!

July 21, 2011

Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in “Va Va Va Bloom”

So I bought this eyeshadow quad recently, (been considering it for a while) and I really like it, so I’m going to do a review on it! 😀

Here are some pictures of how it looks…
I’m not using primer. All the eyeshadow used is in the “Va Va Va Bloom” Revlon Creme Shadow quad, and I’m just wearing a bit of mascara.

Pictures in normal lighting…

Eyes close up:

with flash!

Okay so I reallly realllllly like the colors omg. I bought the darker shades of pink, purple, etc, but they also have a quad called “Seashells”, with lighter pinks and sparkly whites.
I’m planning on buying that one in the winter when my skins paler!

Packaging:
The packaging is very simple, but looks cool! There’s not a lot of product, but I probably won’t be using this every day so it’s okay. There’s a mirror, but no applicator. I actually like it better that way because then the quad is smaller and more sleek.

Pros: I love the colors! They’re pretty pigmented, and since it’s a creme shadow, no powder falls into my eyes! (I have REALLY sensitive eyes and I wear contacts.) The brighter shades look great as highlighters and on your tear ducts!

Cons:
It creases pretty easily, but with a good primer, it looks better and lasts longer.
It’s kind of annoying to open, especially if you have shorter nails.

Price:
Only $8 and probably even cheaper at some places!
I think it’s a really good deal for the price!
I would definitely rebuy this, and I’ll probably buy a few more shades too…

So, I really like this product! I’ve read a lot of good reviews on it, but also a lot of bad ones, so I guess it really depends on the person using it!
Questions/comments welcome

Urban Decay PRimer Potion Review

July 19, 2011

Bought this while I was in Vegas!
I’m going to give a really quick little review on it…
(By the way, I bought it in the original color, they came out with other ones too)
Sorry, I was too lazy to take more pictures and compare swatches and etc,

Price: Around $20 (but i got Sephora insider points for it)
Packaging: CUTE! And URban Decay came out with a new squeezable tube, got rid of the wand. There’s “10% more product.”

It does make your eyeshadow a lot brighter and gives it more pop!
It also helps your eyeshadow stay on a LOT longer!
Helps my eyeliner too 😀

People who wear a lot of eyeshadow should definitely consider buying this!
I don’t actually wear that much eyeshadow though, so idk why I bought it…LOL
I’m going to buy some sort of mascara primer next, because I wear a lot lot lot of mascara!

July 16, 2011

Yayy finally making my lazy ass type up this entry

okay, so third day was a bit more relaxing!
me and bridgette watched Spongebob for about three hours in the hotel room while my mom went shopping in the stores at the hotel
She brought some chicken wings back for us because we were craving them LOL
don’t have a picture, but just visualize me and my nutty sister plopping around on the bed, eating chicken wings, and watching spongebob
nice visual huh….
so afterr that, my mom and sister insisted on going swimming, so I just grabbed my bag and sunglasses and headed down to the Strip again to breathe in some more city life.
After walking around for an hour or so, I went back to the hotel, and SURPRISE….
lazed around some more eating donuts and watching iCarly with Bridgette
so after a few more hours of that, my dad came to meet us and we took a taxi to RIO! (another hotel fml)

and we went to the buffet their, yum yum yum!
Look at all the food.

picture of me because i have to take a picture of myself every 5 minutes =.=

after being happy and stuffed, we took a cab to Fremont Street, Las Vegas’s “Old Downtown

Vegas part 2!

July 13, 2011

Probably all I’m going to be posting for tonight *yawn*
okay so day two, woke up in the morning, got dressed etc etc
it was pretty late when I woke up, so got brunch at Nathans

never heard of it before, but it’s pretty much fast food
EXPENSIVE FAST FOOD THAT DOESN’T EVEN TASTE GOOD =.=
sick of vegas food
don’t worry, didn’t eat all of this myself….
so then we split up with dad, went down to the Strip to do a little shopping
pictures of New York New York, view from the Strip, etc etc

first went to M&M world.
it’s hugeee and a Vegas tourist must see attraction

four stories of chocolately goodness
afterwards we just walked around the malls, not buying much
for once i was too lazy to shop…
but I did get a Betsey Johnson “Betsyville” tote

and a cute Fox tank top that I didn’t take a picture of…
but here’s a picture of me wearing it and being a camwhore again ^__^

okay, so after that, we went to a fake “paris” (another hotel?) and it was really pretty
had like, a fake eiffel tower, fake Arc de Triomphe, etc, etc
no pictures sorry

walked past Bellagio, past Caesars, Palace, Mirage (all hotels)
mom wanted some Starbucks so we stopped at the mall at Mirage
Then we walked to Treasure Island (OMG ANOTHER HOTEL) to get tickets to “Mystere”

famous Vegas show. tickers are like, $80, $90 each?
the show starts at 9pm , so we still had a few hours left

we walked on further to the Venetian (ANOTHER FREAKING HOTEL) which is all Venice themed, no shit, and went to the Palazzo.
pretty….ceiling decorations?

The Palazzo is pretty much a super high end mall in the middle of the Venetian, with a man made river running through the middle. And there are gondaliers and a fake sky and everything it’s SO PRETTY
took pictures

can you believe this is entirely indoors?
too bad the stores were so expensive
whyyyyyy can’t money randomly appear in my wallet already? T^T so after that, we went back to Treasure Island and ate some food, then walked to the Treasure Island theater to see Mystere.

i thought the show was so so =.= just a bunch of weirdly dressed humans doing acrobatics on a funky stage. there was a HILARIOUS trouble making baby in the play though, cracked me up like hell because he reminded me of tiffany LOLOL
i told my sister and she cracked up too

almost fell asleep during the show LOL. paid almost a hundred for this? but maybe people who actually have attention spans might enjoy it…haha.

that ended our night and we took a taxi back to the hotel, where I, again, slept like a pig
