WetnWild BeautyBenefits Beauty Brilliance Eye Shimmer Stick
Thursday, October 15th, 2009
Many matte lovers balk at highlighters, finding shimmer to be cheap and obvious. However, when applied correctly, a quality highlighter can make your face look naturally luminous.
The WetnWild BeautyBenefits Brilliance Eye Shimmer Stick is like a super product. You can use it as an all over eyecolor, eyeshadow base, or as a highlighter for your brow bone.
We tried the shade Pink Peony (there are 6 shades available). Its’ subtle iridescent color made our eyes appear brighter and prettier. No unnecessary glitter in this creamy product at all. We were already happy enough with how the shimmer stick made our eyes look, but became serious advocates when we discovered that this shimmer stick has ingredients that prevents age and boosts hydration. It’s also crease and water-resistant so you don’t have to worry about how long your look will last.
Our favorite way to use this shimmer stick was to put it on our eyelid as a base color, then dust a dark shadow in the crease. The shimmer stick made the shadow look richer, and last longer too.

Revlon Beyond Natural Concealer & Highlighter
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009
You can’t go wrong with 2 products in one compact. Revlon’s Beyond Natural Concealer & Highlighter contains a silky smooth concealer for under eye circles and a highlighter for skin enhancement. We were thankful that the concealer was opaque enough to keep our dark circles a secret.
You can use the highlighter on your cheekbones, inner corner of your eyes, brows, etc. We thought it worked best to accentuate our cheekbones; it’s so subtle it truly made us look like we had great bone structure.

Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Quad Shadow
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
Did you know that more than 90% of age-related changes to the face is cause by sun exposure? Since many of us show the most signs of age around the eye area, we were excited to see that Neutrogena has come out with an eyeshadow quad that actually has a SPF in it. Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Quad Shadows not only contain a SPF of 15, but they also have vitamins, silk, and soy to condition eyelids. These quads are color coordinated, and even come with a label over each to show you where to put each color. For an everyday look, we recommend the Sea Shell 40 Quad, which has neutral tones that would work on most skin tones.

Black Radiance Starry Eyes Shadow Stick
Thursday, October 1st, 2009
Smoky eye makeup is a look that has never gone out of style. In the pages of fashion magazines it often looks easy, but then when you use your own eyeshadow it seems like more of a gray color than black. With most shades, you have to layer or dampen your applicator to get a true black. We have found the real deal when it comes to black eyeshadow. Black Radiance Starry Eyes Shadow Stick in Jet Black gives intense color with one swipe.
This eyeshadow stick goes on smoothly, and thankfully for those of us who are clumsy, blends well. We wore this eyeshadow all day without seeing any creases or signs of fading. Best of all, you don’t have to use the old trick of putting a tissue under the eye to catch stray eyeshadow when applying. The stick has no crumble factor.
To create a smoky eye, hold the stick as close to your upper lash line as possible and draw short strokes from the outer lashes inward, stopping just short of the inner corner. Line your bottom lashes and smudge. Take a lighter, less intense shade, and blend the black from your crease to your brow bone. Then add some high volume mascara. Voila!
