CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 1 Kit Eye Shadow in Tapestry Taupe

I recently bought a huge amount of new eye shadows, mostly Cover Girl eye shadows. I picked up singles, trios, and quads. Some of the shadows were great while others left some to be desired, and because this is such a well known brand and is very accessible I would like to review all of them for you. I personally like to read reviews before I go out and purchase things and for some of these eye shadows I wish I had done that. However, I knew when I bought these I wanted to do reviews on them so I wanted to be as unbiased as possible and give each shadow a fair shot. Tapestry Taupe is one shadow that I love. Its not a dark taupe and I like that. I like to use this all over my lid and crease for a quick and pretty natural looking eye. I have worn this everyday for a week to work. I think this is a great stand alone eyeshadow great for busy moms that don't want to spend forever getting a nice look or even college girls like my younger sister who have more important things to worry about than coordinating eye shadows before class. However, because this isn't too dark I wouldn't use this as a crease color with something that has a brownish tint to it on the lid. It could get lost with a shadow like that. over all though I would say this is a repurchase all the way and a great basic in any makeup collection.

Maybelline Define-A-Brow EyeBrow Pencil Review

I have been a huge fan of Maybelline's ExpertWear Eyebrow Pencil for years so I thought that this would be a good item to try. I couldn't have been more spot on if I had tried. It's got an eyebrow brush on one end and an eyebrow pencil that twists up at the other end. I personally don't need the eyebrow brush because my brows aren't that wild but it does come in handy from time to time. As for the actual pencil, I am in love. The tip is so small and it allows you to create hair like strokes. You also have great control over how much product is applied to your brows. I love that because I go back and forth between coloring my hair blonde and dark auburn and with this pencil you can control how dark or light your brows are. The staying power of these pencils is fantastic! I have very oily skin so I am far too familure with products just running off my face. Even without primer the product stays where I need it to. I personally love this product and I would most deffinately repurchase this.

I got this at walgreens for $6.99

Revlon Photo Ready Concealer Review

I bought this concealer after watching emilynoel83 do a review on this and I have to say she was right. It was worth the purchase. It is the creamiest and smoothest stick concealer I have ever come across. Most stick concealers I have encountered are very hard to blend and you need to warm them up on the back of your hand first. Personally I think needing to warm up your concealer is a waste of time and product. As for the coverage that this concealer gives, it's amazing. I have some serious dark under eye circles. They're so dark I've had people ask me where I got the shiner (no joke). However, with this concealer I can easily hide my dark circles and they aren't covered with this bright and noticeable sheen that some concealers give off. You know the kind. The kind that looks like you've put way too much of something thats way too light on under your eyes. Even with my porcelain skin I can have that problem, but not with this concealer. I can apply this straight from the tube onto my under eye area and blend it out with my finger with no problems. I would seriously recommend this concealer to EVERYONE.

I got this at Walgreens for around $8
