In recent months, I have written about a variety of products from the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place line, including most recently, the ShadowStick. And today, we are reviewing one more – ShadowCreme.
If you are looking for a fantastic cream eyeshadow, this one is a good bet. Like the other Double Wear products, I was impressed by its long-lasting formula. Using your fingertip, it goes on smooth and easily. The color is rich with most of the shades having a matee or slightly pearly finish.
Unlike some cream shadows, this one is very blendable. So if you prefer, you can layer …read more

If you are a fan of gel eyeliner, you have to try Rock & Republic Bound Gel Eyeliner. I had never experimented much with Rock & Republic Cosmetics. However, I was really happy when I gave this liner a try.
Using a eyeliner brush, it creates a very smooth, highly pigmented line. It dries quickly and never fades. The color doesn’t change, smudge or crease until you take it off.
The colors have awesome names – Ballistic, Mental, Smut, Voltage, Distortion, Razor and Toxic – which coordinate with the “Bound” name. Some of the shades are shimmers, while others are matte. I …read more

In the past, I always stuck with powder eye shadow. My experience with cream and other formulas wasn’t good. They always ended up creasing, looking cake-y, or fading away by lunchtime. However in recent years, cream eye shadow improved.
In the last year, I have found a number of cream shadows that I love. They provide fabulous color and many of them last as long as traditional powder.
Then, I was introduced to Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place ShadowStick. Could it be? A convenient, quick eye shadow stick that went on smooth and lasted all day? Though I am a big fan …read more

If you love wearing false eyelashes to get that glamour girl look, then you are in luck. For fall, ultra-long lashes are going to be very trendy. But if you don’t like the hassle of putting on fake lashes, then you can still embrace the trend by using a lengthening mascara. Recently, I had an opportunity to try out the new CoverGirl LashBlast Length Mascara that is hitting stores this fall and I was really impressed.
This mascara is created from a unique formula that contains actual nylon fibers (the same material used for lash extensions). Their flexible Elasta-Nylon formula provides …read more
