Eyeshadow Review: Lancome 500 Enduring Vert Color Design Infinite

Hey folksickles, so today I'll be reviewing the Lancome Color Design Infinite in 500 Enduring Vert.
Availability: This has been discontinued.
Would I buy this? Probably not.
Notes:  I'd describe the color of this as semi-translucent seafoam green with a teal pearl and greenish teal sparkles. It's quite pretty but I wish it was more opaque. This has an odd, memory-foam-like texture that... I don't know how to feel about it, but it applies really smoothly. This might be great with a base but on its own I'm not really all too impressed to be honest.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Moisturizer Review: Clinique Rosy Glow Turnaround Daytime Revitalizing Moisturizer

'Ello folksickles. Today's review will be for the Clinique Turnaround Daytime Revitalizing Moisturizer in Rosy Glow.
Availability: This appears to have been discontinued.

Would I buy this? Maaaaaaaaybe :P

What it is formulated to do:
Allow us to quote the lovely sephora.com
What it is:
A lightweight, oil-free hydrator to instantly deliver a fresh, luminous, wide-awake glow. 

What it is formulated to do:
This ultra-light, luxurious moisturizer creates a refreshed, glowing, beautiful complexion. Carefully selected optics immediately boost the radiance of any skin-tone without the oily shine. Skin looks completely invigorated and healthy—like it got a great night's sleep.

Does it contain any special/beneficial ingredients?
I can't find an ingredient list anywhere :/ Phooey!

What is the texture like?
This has a cushiony, gel-cream texture that feels refreshing when you apply it and is very lightweight and fast absorbing.

Is it scented?
This doesn't really have a scent.

My overall experience/comments on the product:
    In terms of reviewing the product, this is a first impression - I've used it three times so far. If I had to be honest, my expectations for this weren't very high and I wasn't expecting to like it much but so far, so good. It feels really nice when you apply it - refreshing, calming, soothing. For being such a lightweight moisturizer my skin doesn't feel dry at all, in fact my t-zone has been somewhat oily lately and since I've used this it hasn't gotten as shiny. That said, it provides a really pretty glow to the skin.
    It also comes in a golden color, just so you know. If I'm being honest they're both sheer and the iridescent sparkles in them tend to just melt into the skin to create an overall glow, they're not mega obvious so I can't say there will be a real noticeable difference between the two, especially with makeup over the moisturizer.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Mascara Review: Tarte Lights, Cameras, Flashes! Statement Mascara

Alright folksickles...

Today I will be reviewing the Tarte Lights, Cameras, Flashes! Statement Mascara.
Without mascara
With mascara
Availability: This appears to have been discontinued. 

Would I buy this?: Probably not.

Notes: Firstly - this is black and comes in just the black.. As far as lasting power, I wore it for about 10 hours and it went strong - no smudging, no flaking, nothing annoying. 

Let's go over what the mascara's supposed to do and what it actually does. It's marketed as a volumizing, curling and lengthening mascara.

Alright so... this mascara delivers all of its promises. That said... I love the look it gives and think it's pretty nice BUT... I find that the wand is rather pokey, I like to really get into the root of my lashes and I find that this mascara wand always feels really pokey when I do so, it's quite uncomfortable.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks!
