Battle of the Quads!! ft. Charlotte Ronson, Rimmel london, and Maybelline.

            So with it getting steadily hotter and turning into Summer, I have been obsessed with golden toned eyeshadows. I have been buying almost all of them. It was today that I realized I had three that are almost identical. I wasn't sure if I should be happy, or feel dumb that I didn't notice it. So I decided to share them with you guys and let you decide!! They are as follows

1. -Rimmel London in Sun Safari
2.- Maybelline EyeStudio in Copper chic
3.-Charlotte Ronson in Nicole

 

 

 

 

 

 

           Even tho these shades are pretty much identical, I think the swatches can pretty much show the difference in the quality. Don't get me wrong, I have been using the Rimmel quad for the past week. I think it is gorgeous, however there is a bit of fallout and the taupe shade is quite sheer, which I think is great for day use bc I can use it to just blend down some of these more coppery tones. Maybelline is probably my favorite drugstore brand of eye makeup, tied with loreal!! the swatches come off really rich, the picture deff doesn't do them justice! As for the Charlotte Ronson quad, I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I had difficulty rubbing the brown shade off my arm and I didn't use a primer. So needless to say I have high hopes for that one! these are all pretty easy to come across. I bought the rimmel at CVS for $7, Maybelline is $7 at target or walmart and $10 at ulta, the Charlotte Ronson quad is on clearance for $15 at Sephora.com I really love all of these. I don't think anyone needs all three, but depending on where you are at, deff a summer must =)

 





Look of the day- Sephora + Pantone

Alright so it has been quite some time since I last posted. Slacking I know. But I am back on top of things now. took some personal time away from the computer = p. But anyways, moving on! Today I was feeling pretty creative. Ive seen a lot of different color combinations using this way of creating a smokey look and I figured I would give it a go today. let me know what you guys think =)


So I did this only using four things
-Urban Decay Primer Potion
-Rimmel Scandaleyes in Guilty Gray
-Sephora+Pantone Universe Metals Palette
-Maybelline ultra liner

So let me just say I am in Love with this palette from sephora. Ive had it for several months and it is probably my favorite palette I own. I will post a picture of it below. ( the picture is not mine,, random google image and I came across a site that has reviewed and swatched it so I will include that link so I dont have to repeat the process, its a really good review) I mean it is just beautiful. Its not available in store anymore,, but it can still be ordered from amazon for those who dont have it!!

Have a great day ladies =)
