Love It Or Leave It; Review 2.0: Make-Up Designory Pixie Eyeshadow, stila Eye Shadows in wheat and cassis, MAKE UP FOR EVER I-804, ME-734,I-838, D-316, S-314, D-236, D-200, ME-224, and I-112 Artist Shadows

Hello folksickles. As a makeup junkie and blogger you may have realized that I review a LOAD of eyeshadow palettes and I like to think of myself as being largely an eyeshadow junkie. In order to declutter a bit I've decided to pick out a palette or series of eyeshadows for the month and have that be my monthly selection for those instances where I'm not doing a tutorial for the blog. Every month I'll do a recap on the eyeshadows - how I feel about them and whether I'll be keeping them or giving them away (and why :P).

You can find a look I did with the Make-Up Designory shadow here. These are the looks I created this month

So as you can see I created all sorts of colorful looks with these shadows. I personally have found that these shadows are easy to blend, even the ones that look like they'd be chunky, and the pigmentation on them is fantastic. All of them work really great in my experience and I really enjoyed using them! They are all keepers this time. 

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

Bronzer Review: L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Bronzer

  I introduce to you the L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Bronzer in 250 Light.

Availability: This retails at  around $12.50 - $18 for 9 g (.31 oz) and is available at lorealparisusa.com as well as at drugstores that carry L'Oreal.

Would I buy this again?: Possibly.

Notes: Color-wise, to me this is a soft, warm-toned light tan shade with a satiny finish. This glides on beautifully and provides me with a very subtle sunkissed appearance. I was afraid this shade might be a little too light, it swatches light too, but it actually looks really great on my skin-tone when applied to my face so I'm glad I didn't go any darker. Despite its satiny finish, it does look natural on the skin as a contour product, especially if you generally tend to go for a "natural" matte (as in, not entirely powdery and flat) or dewy look. Even though it appears to be a bit sparkly in the pan, I find that it looks matte on my skin. It's super silky and easy to blend but I also wish that these bronzers came a bit more cool-toned so that fair folk could use them for a more contoured look, as this shade is a bit too warm to look like a realistic shadow on me. 

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

All of them work really great in my experience. I feel like this was a perfect pairing of colors to usher in the upcoming spring season! That said, I will be passing the L'oreal Paris Pain Au Chocolate Colour Riche Eyeshadow along, as it's  a bit too cool-toned and smoky for my liking and I don't see myself reaching for it.
