New! Smashbox Ultimate Eyes Brown Swatches & Review!

I had recently purchase this item online with a few other things. This item was only $10 when it's a $22 value, so obviously I couldn't pass up on that, especially since it's so neutral I can get tons of use out of it! I've never tried Smashbox before so I thought it was a good deal.

Smashbox Ultimate Eyes Brown
←               ↑

The product is about palm size and the colors are so beautiful and neutral. The colors are very pigments and they feel very silky/velvety when applied. In two of the colors, cabernet and shimmery sienna, have a bit of shimmer but not too noticeable that someone is going to think "WOW! She's got some shimmer on her eyes!" The other two colors, ivory and matte navy, are matte. 

The colors do last, because as I was washing my hands from the swatches and I did have to rub a bit on the shadows. This palette can be definitely used for like a smokey/ night out look. I am definitely going to use the ivory color as a brow highlight and for all over the lids. These colors are so nice, I might get the other Smashbox Ultimate Eyes in Hazel.

You can purchase this at Sephora for only $10 for either the Brown quad or the Hazel quad.

Have you tried this little quad, what do you think about it?

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick - 08: Review & Swatches!

I've been recently loving lip products and especially lipsticks that are neutral colors that can be worn everyday. I've heard great things about Rimmel London and I own one of their lipsticks but in the Kate Moss collection and I fell in love with the one I have, but sadly the color is a bit to bold for me to wear everyday (by the way it's a deep red). So I had decided to purchase a brand that I love, but that I can wear everyday. I have been loving this color and type because of its shade as well as scent.

The lipstick is a mauve-y pink with a hint of brown/purple tint. 

Swatches now:

(R→L: 1 layer, 5 layers)

This lipstick has a nice creamy formula which makes the lipstick glide on smoothly, and while applying you can taste a bit of a cherry taste as well as the scent. Swatched on, with 1 layer it is quite pigmented and with several layers of it can be very pigmented. I think that the packaging itself is very unique and cute with a cool looking style of a slanted cap.

You can purchase this product at any drugstores that sell Rimmel London and it retails for about $5-6 (good deal to me).

Let me know if you like Rimmel products and which is your favorite?
