Swatch: My Favorite Jeans – Sephora

Monday, August 1st, 2011

Swatch Sephora My Favorite Jeans 40
Kommer ni ihåg ögonskuggan My Favorite Jeans från Sephora som jag fick i present av en vän för ett tag sedan? Här är den in action!

My Favorite Jeans (40) är en riktigt blå ögonskugga med lite metallic skimmer. Som du kan se på bilden nedan så får man bäst resultat med en primer (som alltid). Kvalitén är riktigt bra, mycket bättre än vad jag förväntat mig. Den håller länge och är väldigt pigmenterad, och den creasade inte. Den var faktiskt en aning svår att “blenda” med, var även svår att tvätta bort från pekfingret! (Jag föredrar att använda fingarna istället för borstar när det kommer till pressade ögonskuggor.) Men det betyder inte att det är dåligt. Jag kan verkligen rekommendera den!

Remember the My Favorite Jeans eyeshadow from Sephora that I got from a friend a while back? Here it is in action!

My Favorite Jeans (40) is a rich blue eyeshadow with a little metallic shimmer. As you can see from the swatches below, you get out the best of it with a primer (as always). The quality is great, way better than I expected. It’s long lasting and well pigmented, and it doesn’t crease. It was a bit hard to blend though, was even a bit hard to wash it of my index finger! (I prefer to use fingers instead of brushes when it comes to pressed eyeshadows.) But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad thing! I can really recommend it!

Products used:

  • Urban Decay Primer Potion
  • Sephora – My Favorite Jeans eyeshadow
  • Everyday Minerals – Floating Feathers eyeshadow
  • Yves Rocher – Waterproof Lash Plumping Mascara
  • E.l.f. – Studio Cream Eyeliner (Black)

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils – Swatches

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

Along with the nail polishes I also bought three NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils from Cherry Culture. Milk, Yogurt and Cottage Cheese. Milk is plain white, Yogurt looks like frosty copper brown/champagne, and Cottage Cheese is silverish shimmery white. Swatches below!

They are incredibly creamy, well pigmented and easy to blend. But even with a primer they tend to crease a bit (I used UDPP), such a shame! I guess I’ll have to use less or just find another base. But they are really beautiful so it wasn’t a total waste! ;)

NYX – Lime Sparkle Nail Polish

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

I just got home my order from CherryCulture. A few products from NYX. I think I have a new favorite among my nail polishes! It’s Lime Sparkle, a lime green jelly base with golden green glitter, and it’s incredible! Very bling bling!

In the pictures below I have three coats on, but that’s not an issue since it’s one of the most fast drying nail polishes I’ve ever tried (long lasting too!). My pictures are kind of crappy since it’s so dark outside I couldn’t get a good picture.

Here are a few swatches of NYX Lime Sparkle nail polish…
