ELF Beautybooks : Smoky Eye and Bright Eye Editions

These are really great quality! Amazing color payoff on all the ones I've used so far. Both sets are very versatile, combining neutrals and more vibrant and darker shades! I found mine at Target. I would recommend these! They are much, much better quality shadows than those in the $1quads and the studio singles! Plus at $5 each they are a much better deal than both. If you can find these I would really recommend trying them out.

Jordana Haul and Swatches

I picked up a few Jordana products from Walgreens last month out of curiosity.

L-R: Fabuliner liquid eyeliner (marker style) in black, Pretty Shine lipgloss in Dazzling and Darling, Squeeze n Shine gloss (in clear...don't know if it has a name), Lipshine (brush style) in Watermelon

I'm not very impressed with the eyeliner. It's not very black and it seems to pick the color back up if you go over the same area too many times. Because the tip is felt tip and therefore pretty stiff, it's also hard to get a smooth line. The Pretty Shine glosses are nice. The gloss in the tube apparently had a slice in the package that I didn't notice, which then got ALL OVER my school bag and its contents. It's also a very sticky gloss. The lipshine is really nice - I love glosses that have a brush; I feel like it gives much more control in the placement. It's a really nice color, too. I really wish it didn't smell like watermelon, though...
