elf Studio Cream Eyeliner {Comparison, Review & Swatches}

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: , , , ,

Here is my review of the elf Studio Cream eyeliner.
Product Overview:
Availability: This can be found on the elf website. It  can also be found in kmarts & targets. 

Retail: This eyeliner retails for $3.00.
Comparison: Wetnwild Mega Eyes Creme eyeliner retails around $3.00. While MAC fluidline retails for $15.00. L'oreal Color Truth Cream Eyeliner retails for $11.79. 

Packaging: While this is not the worst packaging I have seen {wetnwild Mega Eyes Creme Eyeliner has a spaceship form which I hate} it still is a little bulky. The packaging is kind of deceiving since it makes you believe there is so much product. 
                                             Amount: This eyeliner comes with .17 oz. 
   Comparison: Wetnwild Mega Eyes Creme eyeliner has .13 oz. MAC Fluidline has .1 oz. L'oreal HIP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner has .159 oz. 

Color Variety: This eyeliner comes in 11 shades. Three of which are new shades. There are neutral colors like black and brown. But there are also vibrant shades like purple and blue. 
Comparison: Wetnwild Mega Eyes Creme Eyeliner only comes in two shades (black & a purple). MAC Fluidline comes in six shades. L'oreal Color Truth Cream Eyeliner comes in five shades. 

Quality: I am not impressed with this gel eyeliner. Almost all of them came very dry with the exception of black and coffee.  But I will mention coffee dried shortly after I received it. 
They also lacked pigmentation again with the exception of black and coffee. Here are some pictures:
Black
 Ivory 
 Coffee 
 Midnight
*both Midnight and Ivory came that dry*
                                 Pros                                                                      Cons
                          Inexpensive                                                                 Dry 
                       Variety Of Colors                                                     Not Opaque    
                                                                                                Needs To Be Build Up                      
                                                                                                                 
Here are swatches:

Without Flash
From left to right Copper, Plum Purple, Metallic Olive, Gun Metal, Ivory, Coffee, Midnight, and Black. 

Bottom Line: I would NOT recommend this eyeliner.

Grey Tone Nail Of The Moment

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: , , , ,

This is another NOTM. I am using Essie in Playa Del Platinum. This is what it looks like:

With Flash
 Without Flash
It is a dark beige with a grey undertone. This is three coats. I ended up wearing it for three days. One thing I liked about this nail polish was the brush was kinda small which is good for all my nails but my thumb. Since I really liked using this one I tried using Essie in Sand Tropez, which to my surprise I totally ended up hating. It was really sheer and needed four coats. I really like beige nail polishes so I might give it a chance again. What are your favorite nail polish colors to wear?

Sea of Blue Green of Eye Of The Day May 30

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: , , ,

Here is a fun EOTD from May 30. I wanted to wear something that called attention and this did the trick. This is what it looks like:
I only used drug store products. If you want to tone this down you can leave out the rhinestones or put less. I  might do a how to post on this EOTD (I already have the pictures, which even shows what it is like without the rhinestones) but I still have not decided. One thing I really love about this EOTD is that it really brings out the golden tone my eyes have. What are your favorite colors to bring out your eyes?

OPI vs Bettina (Comparison, Review & Swatches)

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: , , , , , , ,

My last post was showing Bettina in Flip Flops {Resort Collection}. It is a dark lilac and reminded my boyfriend of OPI's Planks A Lot {Pirates Of The Caribbean}. So this is going to be the comparison of these two nail polishes.

Here is a comparison of the nail polish bottles together. 
With Flash:
 Without Flash:
Swatches:
Bettina is on my ring finger, while OPI is on my middle finger
Formula: One difference I noticed with OPI is that it was not as opaque as Bettina. I needed three to four coats of OPI Planks A Lot for it to really show true to bottle. Bettina Flip Flops on the other hand just needed two in order to even the color out. 
Color Comparison: Even though both these nail polishes are in the same color family their is a noticeable difference. As you can see Bettina Flip Flops is darker than OPI Planks A Lot. For those wondering Bettina retails around $2.00-3.00 ($2.26 in walmart) while OPI retails around $8.50.
Recommendation: I really like both shades so I would definitely buy them again. But if you do not like having to put multiple coats for a color to show true to the bottle I suggest you skip out on OPI Planks A Lot and get Bettina Flip Flops. If you would prefer a lighter lilac then I would suggest OPI Planks A Lot. While if you want a dark lilac I would suggest getting Bettina Flip Flops.

Lavender Falls Nails Of The Moment

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: , , , , ,

This is my current NOTM. I am using Bettina in Flip Flops, which is part of their new collection resort. The Resort collection has six nail polishes. Bettina Flip Flops is a deepened lilac pastel. Bettina is really inexpensive & can found in most drugstores in Puerto Rico. Here are pictures of my manicure:

 This is two coats.
This nail polish reminded me (well it was actually my boyfriend that mentioned it) of OPI Planks A Lot {Pirates Of The Caribbean}. So my next post will be a comparison of these two nail polishes. As for the wear I am taking this off today after using it for three days because it had minor chips.
