I finally got a chance to try out my Duo Eye Shadow Creams by  e.l.f. cosmetics and so far I like.    

The quality of these cream eye shadows is pretty good.  They’re very pigmented.  They blend easy.  The color combinations are beautiful and they have a nice shimmery finish. 

But besides all of these wonderful qualities, e.l.f.’s Duo Eye Shadow Creams are not long lasting  and if you put too much on, they will crease.

You definitely don’t want to wear these cream eye shadows alone; instead, use them as a base. Make sure you put a primer first, then set them with some kind of powder. This will make the cream shadows longer lasting and their colors more vibrant.

Swatches:

Eggplant: a grayish, dark green and purple.  Both with gold undertones.

Butter Pecan: a medium brown and a peachy like color. Both shades have gorgeous gold undertones

Black Licorice: a creamy silver and black.

I like that they each come with two shades and you can easily apply these with a flat brush or with your finger.  Plain and sweet, they’re easy to use and for a dollar you should give them a try.

Physicians Formula is one of my favorite drugstore makeup brands. So far, I’ve loved just about every item that I have tried from their makeup line. And I really like my new Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting Pressed Bronzer, ($14.95).

physicians formula-bronze booster-glow-boosting pressed bronzerIt’s a fragrance free pressed bronzer.  It comes in three shades: fair to light, light to medium and medium to dark.  It’s formulated with micropearls, vitamins and antioxidants.

After having read online that the light to medium shade was really light, I still went out to CVS and got it in light to medium.  Guess what?  It’s amazing!  The shade is perfect for fair skin and it the hint of sparkle gives you a healthy looking glow.

The compact itself is beautiful.  It comes with a large mirror and a brush.  The brush is a little rough but works well for quick touch ups.

This stuff makes you look naturally tanned; not orangey and dirty.

Bronzer Booster  is more matte than it is shimmery.  So, it’s great for contouring.
