Revlon Chroma Chameleon Nail Polish in Cobalt.

Hi Pandas! Back with another polish for you!

 

This is one of the new Revlon Chroma Chameleon polishes in the shade Cobalt. It is supposed to have a duochrome shift, hence the name, and is released just in time for summer.

 

Here is the polish in normal lighting. It doesn't have much of a shift at all, so fans of that will be majorly disappointed in this color. There are a few other colors that look like they have more of the effect, but I really wanted this color blue so I didn't care if there was a shift or not.

 

 

With a flash or in sunlight, this shade is much more exciting. It has a littler smattering of glass flecks and is very pretty and vibrant. This has a slight metallic finish so be aware of streaking--but it went on nicely in two coats. This didn't chip for 5 days but had major tip wear after day one.

 

 

Check out the display next time you are in Ulta or the drugstore, these retail for around $6, but are cool to add to your polish collection if you do not have anything similar. I like the color, but I don't buy the gimmick, do you?

Rimmel Scandaleyes Liner: Light Blue

Hey Pandas! A quick review post of a product I have fallen in love with!

 

 

This is the new-ish Rimmel Scandaleyes Liner in 008, Light Blue. It is a waterproof kajal liner that works well on the upper and lower lash line as well as the waterline. It is a pretty periwinkle/baby blue and has great opacity. Can be found at drugstores and at Ulta for around $6.

 

 

The pencil is so creamy that you do use a lot of product, but the creaminess is well worth the product usage.

 

 

This is such a unique color that even higher-end brands don't often put out. I love how opaque it is in one stroke. I am telling you, you can't get better than this!

 

 

You HAVE to have this. The other colors are great as well, but for something unique, pick up Light Blue. You won't be disappointed.

 

Price: 9/10

Performance: 10/10

Color/Wearability: 10/10

Packaging: 9/10

Overall Quality: 10/10

Total: 48/50 = A = Pandamonium!

 

Have you tried this color yet or the Scandaleyes liners in general? What are your thoughts?

Love Affair with Louis

I have a few of the new NYX Love in Paris palettes, and I really do love them! You have to check them out!

 

This is the NYX Love in Paris palette in Love Affair with Louis. It is a blue toned palette in a sleek black case with a bow closure. Adorable! This is $10, and has 9 shadows, which is a great deal if you break it down!

 

I am a sucker for themed palettes, or collections. So naturally, I love this. I love the name and how Louis XVI is synonymous with this blue tone. The whole time period seems to be just swathed in these shades, and I love it!

 

 

The shades: (Top left to bottom right) A light mint shimmer, a Cinderella-esque blue, a grey-toned blue shimmer, a frosty white, a teal, a light ocean blue with light blue sparkly, a true silver, a royal blue, a shimmery black.

 

 

Here are all the shades on my hand. They kind of go in order and then I just tried to make them fit. But they are all pretty decently pigmented for the price. This is with no primer, but they wear so much brighter with primer.

 

 

I am definitely having a Love Affair with Louis. Thanks NYX! Remember, these are cruelty free as well. Great palette to provide you with all the blues you would ever need! However, people may be intimidated by blues and these aren't for everyday, so it makes this a splurge.

 

Price: 9/10

Performance: 8/10

Color/Wearability: 8/10

Packaging: 10/10

Overall Quality: 8/10

Total: 43/50 = B = Pleased Panda!

 

I LOVE this palette, but the blues are hard to wear except for accents, so this isn't a must unless you just can't keep your grabby hands away!

Clinique Chubby Stick in Big Blue

I know I am a little late to the game on these...but I finally got one!

 

 

These are the new for Spring 2013 Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes. This lovely light blue is called Big Blue and is a sparkly grey/blue. They retail for $16, are long wearing, and smooth right on the eye without a brush.

 

 

The packaging comes in the same color as the shadow, making it easy to find in your makeup drawer and the actual stick is rounded, making it comfy to rub on your eye. It also twists up!

 

 

Chubby Sticks are for anyone that is a fan of easy to apply, travel with, and blend eyeshadow in a hurry. I think this is one of the better twist up shadow stick offerings on the market for a reasonable price. This particular shade is for someone who wants to experiment with blues but not something too dark or heavy. It is a light wash of color and can be blended out even more.

 

 

Here is one quick (and I mean two strokes) of the chubby stick across my eye. I sheered it out with my finger a bit. Such a pretty wash of color!

 

 

With a good primer these last about 8 hours without creasing. For more staying power, layer translucent powder in between layers of color and add two or more to increase the vibrancy. I really love Clinique Chubby Sticks for eyes!

 

Price: 9/10

Performance: 9/10

Color/Wearability: 9/10

Packaging: 10/10

Overall Quality: 10/10

 

Total: 47/50 = A = Pretty Panda!
