Great Gatsby Look Book: Jordan Baker

Hi Pandas! Welcome to the second installment of my Great Gatsby makeup looks, where I am taking looks from the 2013 film based off the book, and making them just a little bit easier to wear. This post centers on the lively Jordan Baker 

 While Daisy's look is a classic spin on something natural, Jordan had the darkest eye makeup in the movie, which was fun to play around with. 

 

Her look is mostly metallic smoky eyes, some blush, and a berry lip. Simple, but pretty.

 

 

Altogether, this look took me under 10 minutes, and keep in mind that I don't have her gorgeous 20's bob, but the makeup can look equally awesome on anyone.

 

The Products:

 

 

1. The eye look was made entirely with the Khroma Beauty Kim's Kardazzle Palette. I used the black matte shade, the metallic silver, and the metallic white, blended together.

2. To add some color to my cheeks, I brushed on a very light layer of Milani Baked Blush in Red Vino.

3. Jordan's lashes are so fluttery, so I added some falsies. Katy Perry Lashes by Eyelure in Darling were perfect!

4. For the berry lips, I swiped on Tarte Lipsurgence in Pouty, a sparkling raspberry.

 

 

This look can easily be created with your own products, and falsies are optional if you do not have the time nor patience!

 

 

Here are two close ups of the eyes. You can blend the smoky eye in whatever way you want, but I chose a wash of metallic color and a little crease definition. I would also suggest liner, even though I have none on.

 

 

I think this is a perfect easy-going night out look. Just use your favorite foundation under it all and you are good to go! A grey smoky eye and a berry lip are also easier to pull off than harsh black and a red lip.

 

 

 And of course, the black and white, trying to be from the 20's picture!

 

 

I hope you liked this look! Stay tuned for the last of the series!

Khroma Beauty Joystick in Sea Coral

 

Hi Pretty Pandas! I have another Khroma Beauty Joystick's here to show you, and I am loving this color for summertime!

 

Khroma Beauty Joystick in Sea Coral ($7.99) can be found at Ulta and is a creamy, twist up lip pencil that delivers slightly glossy lip color with a weightless feel.

 

 

The pencil is actually nice. Not too hard or soft and has a lovely vanilla cupcake scent. It applies easily on lips without tugging.

 

 

The color is glossy, but not overly so, and there is no chunky glitter in this, which helps it wear for a good 3+ hours. If you used this as a base for another lip product, I am sure you could prolong the life of another lip gloss or lipstick.

 

 

This is an easy and flawless lip for summer. The opacity is there and it feels good on the lips. I won't say it is the longest wearing lip pencil I have tried, but so far, Khroma Beauty's Joysticks have been my favorite in the Kardashian Beauty venture.

 

Panda Approved.

 

Have you tried or liked their Joysticks? What do you think of lip colors like this one?

Khroma Beauty Honey Infused Lip Gloss in BlackBerry Honey

Okay, Kardashian sisters, I am forgiving you for your recent mishaps when it comes to your Khroma line.

 

Your Honey Infused Lip Gloss is your saving grace.

 

This is the Khroma Beauty Honey Infused Lip Gloss in BlackBerry Honey which is a dark berry shade. It retails for $8.99 at Ulta and comes in a very thin tube with a rose gold colored cap. The packing is decorated with honeycomb designs and is really cute.

 

 

This color is gorgeous, no shimmer, just creamy glossy raspberry color. And the scent, holy cow! This smells amazing, like fresh honey. Nothing artificial about this at all. The formula is nice, not overly moisturizing but lasts a good few hours and lightly stains.

 

 

This is so lovely and I can see myself making this my every day gloss. My only issue is with the packaging. The tube is so long that the brush is hard to wield, and the brush head is so small that it takes about three pulls to get enough product to cover your lips. So, it is a little finicky. But the color, formula, and scent make up for this.

 

Nice job Kardashians.

 

Price: 8/10

Performance: 9/10

Color/Wearability: 10/10

Packaging: 7/10

Overall Quality: 9/10

Total: 43/50 = B+ = Happy Panda

 

Although the packaging needs improvement, I think I will be picking up at least one more. Have you tried this? Do you like honey flavored things?

Khroma Beauty 'Flesh Chair' Nail Polish Review and Swatches

Hello Pandas!

It seems that almost every brand has a polish line (I mean, even Clinique is doing one, are you excited??) But how will polish fare from a hit or miss new brand started by possibly the three wealthiest sisters in America?

Let's find out...

 

 

 

This is a Khroma Beauty nail polish. I found it at Ulta, and if I had to guess, there are about 15 different colors of this polish. I do like the bottle, it is cute and I love the white cap. These retail for about $6.99 and this color is called Flesh Chair. Flesh Chair? Really? That gives me ALL KINDS of bad images. But let us keep positive...

 

This is the end color. A pretty, pink-tinged nude. I actually think it looks gorgeous!

 

But getting to this stage? A nightmare I tell ya.

 

Flesh Chair goes on very streaky and this took three thick coats to even it out. I was really disappointed with the formula. It bubbled too. Sad for such a pretty color!!

 

 

The formula was so terrible. But, there were a few things I liked. Namely, the brush. The brush picked up enough color to do a coat on most of my nails on one hand before having to dip back in, but didn't drip off, it just kinda clung there. Convenient I guess.

 

I also liked that the dry time was fast and it dried to a glossy finish.

 

But the formula...

 

 

Overall, I will not be purchasing another Khroma Colors polish. However, this color is so pretty that I will use this again and suffer to make it work. I might try thinning it or maybe mixing it with something else. I could even try putting glitter in it to franken it and call it Lord Disick. I don't know...anything is better than Flesh Chair.

 

Price: 8/10

Performance: 5/10

Color/Wearability: 10/10

Packaging: 8/10

Overall Quality: 6/10

Total: 27/50 = C = Sad Panda

 

Have you tried this nail polish? What are your tips for making a tricky formula work for you?
