New box set for eyes I'm excited to try

[Guest Lizzie McTrucker]

I guess this has been out for awhile but after the other day where my new friend taught me how to do eyeshadow and eyeliner, I've been thinking about adding it to my daily makeup routine. Well since I need eyeliner and eyeshadow and my mascara is probably a little old, I thought I would give this a try.

Covergirl "How to Create a Smoky Eye Look"

(I chose natural but there is also bold and glamorous to choose from)

It comes in a box with eyeshadow, mascara and eyeliner. I bought a blending/smudging brush seperately but I guess you could use a q-tip or your finger. (bonus subscription to Allure magazine included)

Looks like the directions are pretty straight forward and they tell you what to apply and where and go through all the steps so I'm looking forward to trying this and seeing how well it works.

I normally don't even wear eyeshadow or eyeliner, just mascara.

Kit includes: SmokyShadow Blast in BronzeFire

Lashblast Volume Mascara in brown (yikes..not black? Eh I'll give it a shot anyway)

LineExact Liquid Liner Pen in Brown

It doesn't say anywhere on the box for brown eyes, blue eyes or hazel eyes so I went with natural because I'm not really into bold or dramatic looks.

Wow sounds really gd I might see if thy sell it here in oz .smooky eyes sounds cool

[Guest Lizzie McTrucker]

Well I gave it a go and for me, I wasn't happy with it.

What I didn't know is that all these products would be in brown: brown mascara, brown eyeliner, brown eyeshadow. Brown brown brown brown brown. I did try it though and although the products were okay, I just didn't like wearing brown. I didn't think you could really tell I was wearing anything other than the eyeshadow.

So those are being shoved to the bottom of the makeup abyss and today I found another box set geared for a dramatic look. This one has black mascara, black eyeliner and a cute shimmery pink lipgloss. The mascara is the same kind I use so since it's been awhile I tossed my old mascara out. The eyeliner is pencil so that should be easier to do that liquid and the lipgloss is pretty and shimmery (I already tried it today. Heck I didn't get out of the parking lot before I had it on.)

Lol u sound like me every time I buy a new lipstick just have to put it in ASAP . Yeah I'm not into browns I like black mass area and u know blue colored eyeliner it's like a dark blue As for eye shadows I do like a bit of colour

[Guest angels wings]

I guess I'm one of the few that prefers brown/dark brown mascara to black. Skin and hair support the browns unless I'm going with violet or purple eyeshadow to accent purple clothing/accents. Looking at redhaired women on flickr I was impressed that bold purple looked so good on redheads, so I have black in the makeup box too.

I'm into browns as a redhead. Love the idea of purples though. I also use a bronze shadow on lower lids. Invisable unless you wink. Charlie
