Raina Navy Blue Eye liner by Sumita

2/21/2015

I usually do not deviate from my dark gray, charcoal and solid black eye liners but when I got this navy blue eye liner from Sumita, I was excited. I hadn't tried a navy blue eye liner before and was interested to see if I could pull it off.

Surprisingly, it worked well for me. I used this color with a nice bronze eye shadow and a creamy highlight color just below my brow. It made the bronze really deep and rich and the navy pulled out some of the subtle blue specks in my hazel/green eyes.

The eye liner has a smooth application and it really only needs one nice thick line - you don't have to run it back and forth to make the color stand out.

I likely will not be purchasing it once the sample runs out because I don't wear it every day but it was fun to try it out. I may buy the black liner from Sumita, though!

Wonder Eye Cream By Balance Me

I really, really enjoyed this sample. The size was great and it made my eyes feel amazing. If I had to describe The Wonder Eye Cream by Balance Me in one word, it would be 'zesty.'

I used this product every morning after washing my face and before applying my primer. I would usually let it set and dry while I was blow drying my hair or putting lotion on my skin. It's has a very invigorating effect to your skin and always helped my eyes wake up.

While this eye cream left my skin feeling great, I cannot say that I ever saw a huge difference in brightening or lifting my eyes. I am sure that over time I'd see a change but in the last few weeks I can only speak to the way it made my skin feel in the mornings.

I liked this product a lot but I am not sure that I would buy more of it since the results were readily obvious.

Vasanti kajal extreme intense Eyes - Rose Gold

I am not usually a big fan of funky colored eye pencils or eye liners. I like the classic black, gray and brown. However, I really enjoyed this rose gold eye pencil by Vasanti Cosmetics. The color worked really well with my gold and shimmer eye shadows.

The pencil is slightly greasy when it goes on but this makes for great blending. That said, if you have sensitive eyes then you should be careful not to use on your lower eye lids as it may cause teary eyes.

I wouldn't mind trying Vasanti's other colors after using this eye pencil but I don't know that I liked it enough to purchase it on my own.

Overall, the color was great, the product was decent and it was a nice sample from Birchbox.

Mirenesse iCurl Secret Weapon 24 HR Mascara

Sometimes, mascara can be a weird product. My eyes have always been pretty sensitive to eye liners and mascaras. I have used products that burned the second they got near my eyes, and others I could wear for days on end and never have a worry.

Mirenesse iCurl Secret Weapon 24hr Mascara made my eyes tingle at first which made me hesitant to use the product. Instead of fully giving it up, I went a few days without any eye products thinking maybe it was just that I have been using my current mascara so long that my eyes were sensitive to anything other than it.

After two days off from my eye makeup, I gave this a whirl. No sensitivity. The mascara goes on smooth and light - a little more liquid than other mascaras. This does elongate the lashes nicely and a great curl.

My eyelashes are medium length and are rather thick.

This secret weapon mascara does in fact last 24hrs and gets rather heavy after drying on your lashes, not too terrible but it was noticeable. That said, this mascara is a solid product.

Coastal Scents Revealed Eyeshadow 2 Palette Set

This was the perfect eye product choice for me! Perfect colors for my green/hazel eyes. I love the purples and soft pinks in my sample. The eyeshadow itself blended well and lasted the whole day without touching up.

I had never tried Coastal Scents products which made this Birchbox sample an awesome find. I cannot wait to wrack up enough points to purchase this 2 palette kit and try all of the different eyeshadow colors.

I just LOVE this eye product!

Cynthia Rowley Beauty Silver Eyeliner

This is one of those products that I feel like I am supposed to be completely in love with but I'm just really not. When I first saw the color, I was confused. Granted, this came in my first Birchbox but I am not a funky kind of girl and would never wear silver eyeliner.

That said, I gave it a try. The color wasn't right for me at all or my natural color palettes and worse the actual eyeliner was just disappointing.

The Cynthia Rowley Silver Eyeliner left my eyes feeling goopy and greasy. I followed the directions and lightly applied to my eyes but it clumped in my lashes and made my eyes feel heavy and watery. It's definitely a smooth application but a little too smooth.

I thought maybe I'd like a different color better but honestly, I don't think I would just because of the texture of the eyeliner. I have heard a lot about how great Cynthia Rowley products are - I am hoping that this was just a bad first impression. Maybe I will get to try something else by this brand that changes my mind.
