Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelée in Paradise Poppy: Swatches and Review

Hi Pandas! I have a product I picked up on my trip to Maui that I could not love more even if I tried! Josie Maran's Coconut Cheek Gelées are getting rave reviews everywhere, and I had to see about the madness for myself! 

 I picked up the gorgeous coral pink color called Poppy Paradise ($22) even though it was so hard to decide between colors! 

 

According to Josie Maran's website, these Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelées are 50% coconut water, have the amazing benefits of Argan oil, and are a hybrid cream/gel stain that can last up to 14 hours.

 

And yes, these definitely stain. Even if it is on your fingertip for .03 seconds, it will leave a stain, so there is power in this formula, which is great for those long days!

 

 

I think the color itself is incredible: so vibrant and juicy looking and I didn't want to even dip into it because it was so pretty! Now, let me tell you all the other amazing things about this cheek gelée. All natural ingredientsRecyclableParaben freeNo synthetic fragranceVeganGluten freeCruelty free Um, that is pretty amazing! Not only are you wearing a product that is great for your skin, but it healthy for the environment as well and I totally support that. Go Josie! 

 Here is the tiniest amount of product (this will last you a lifetime) on the back of my hand. The color is a warm pink with a hint of coral and I love it. This is also really easy to blend because of the high coconut water content.  

 On cheeks it gives the most natural flush of color. I know what I will be wearing the rest of the summer! Panda Approved Have you tried these amazing pots of joy? Do tell!

Milani Eye Tech Extreme

Okay, so if you haven't already figured it out, I am kinda obsessed with black liner.

So when I heard about "Milani Eye Tech Extreme", guess who had to get her hands on it?

This color is "01 Blackest Black" because it has to be super black right? Right?

It claims to be waterproof, long-wearing, to not feather, and to be opaque. So how did it test for PrettyPanda?

This is a liquid felt tip liner. It is so thin and gives such a precise line-- as you can see above. It is really waterproof and lasted about 9 ish hours on my lids. That is a whole "being out and about and working" day for me. The above swatch is one stroke. The only claim it doesn't live up to is the feathering. It doesn't feather on my eye but it does on my hand. But you aren't really going to use this on your hands...

I really love the tip. It is precise but flexible. Not stuff and pokey. And for my followers that can't handle parabens, this baby is paraben free!

The packaging is pretty standard, thin and black with gold writing. Classy, and easy to handle. It feels like a pen in your hand.

This also sets really quickly and doesn't lose this pretty glossy finish. This retails for $7.

Final Thoughts: Strong contender for the ultimate black liquid liner. Milani, you did good with this one!

Price: 9/10
Staying Power: 10/10
Packaging: 9/10
Color/Wearability: 10/10
Quality/Branding: 10/10

Total: 48/50 = A = Pandamonium!!

I love this liner, and it has made it's way into my rotation. Do you like it too?
