Curél Hydrotherapy Wet Skin Moisturizer Review

Curél Hydrotherapy Wet Skin Moisturizer Review | lookingjoligood.blog

“Curél Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer is activated by water on freshly-showered skin and penetrates deeply into the surface to heal dryness, for soft skin you can only imagine.”

I moisturize my skin religiously every day!  I am so picky about not only the way a moisturizer makes my skin feel but as well as the way it feels on my skin. I am also very picky about the scent of lotions.  I don’t like it if a daily moisturizer is so strong and overpowering that it interferes with my perfume.

Curél Hydrotherapy Wet Skin Moisturizer Review | lookingjoligood.blog

I received two of these Curél sample sizes in my Walmart winter beauty boxes.  I figured that I would at least try one, then if I didn’t like it I would pass the second one along to someone else.

Curél Hydrotherapy Wet Skin Moisturizer Review | lookingjoligood.blog

In the past, I have tried a few similar in/after shower products. I have never liked any of them.  With the other products, I found my skin to either feel slick and filmy or dry and itchy.  Needless to say, I didn’t have high hopes for this one…

The Curél hydrotherapy wet skin moisturizer is not like the other products that I have tried!  I was blown away by how much I love this after shower lotion!  

My skin feels soft and moisturized after applying this.  It isn’t slippery, greasy, slick, or sticky. It has a nice light clean scent that isn’t overpowering. What I like most of all is how easily it applies and how much time it saves!

The 12 fl oz/ 354 ml bottle cost $10 and a 8 fl oz/ 236 ml bottle is around $7.50.

What does the Curél Website have to say about this Hydrotherapy Wet Skin Moisturizer

“Why Wet Skin?
After showering, your pores are open, providing an easy pathway for moisture to absorb into just-showered skin. Curél® HYDRA THERAPY WET SKIN MOISTURIZER, with Advanced Ceramide Complex, penetrates deeply into the skin’s surface bringing moisture to the source of dryness. It absorbs immediately and with continued use will end your dry skin!

Why Ceramides?
Ceramides, naturally present in healthy skin, are vital building blocks to maintaining skin’s moisture barrier. When ceramides are lost, skin becomes dry and damaged. Curél® HYDRA THERAPY WET SKIN MOISTURIZER, with Advanced Ceramide Complex, penetrates to the source of dryness, helping to replenish skin’s ceramide levels and repair the moisture barrier.

  • Water activated moisture works deep into skin’s surface
  • Helps repair moisture barrier
  • Contains our proprietary Advanced Ceramide Complex
  • Immediately Absorbs
  • Completely Greaseless
  • Skin feels 3x more hydrated instantly
  • Fragrance Free
  • Dermatologist Recommended
  • Received the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance”

Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss Review and Swatches

nude kiss | lookingjoligood.blog

~Weekly Product Highlight~ Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss~

I was watching a video by Drugstore Maven, and she recommended the Essence XXXL Shine Lipglosses.  Being a huge fan of glossy lips, the next time I was at Target I picked one up.

I am not exaggerating when I tell you I instantly fell in love with this gloss as soon as I put it on!

The gloss goes on smoothly and evenly without feeling sticky at all.   It does not bleed outside the lip line. It has a great sparkly shine that is not glittery.  The gloss also wears off well.  I cannot stand it when a sparkly gloss wears off leaving a weird looking glittery residue on the lips. (not cute!)

nude kiss | lookingjoligood.blog

The packaging is very simple and pretty yet sturdy. It comes in a transparent glass tube with a silver cap.  The name is on a label on the cap. The gloss has a long flat doe foot sponge tip applicator. I like the flat applicator because it holds a lot more product and applies the gloss nice and precisely.

Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss | lookingjoligood.blog

 The first shade I purchased was in 22 Nude Kiss. It has just a hint of pink shimmery color to it which can be worn alone or as a glossy topper over another lipstick.

Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss | lookingjoligood.blog

After wearing Nude Kiss non-stop for several days, I knew that I had to get another shade of these glosses.  The second shade I picked up is 07 Big Night Out and 08 Glamour To Go. They are a sparkly mauve and a sparkly coral nude.

Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss | lookingjoligood.blog

At only $2.49 a tube, this gorgeous lipgloss is a great deal!

As I do with most of my favorite makeup discoveries, I quickly shared it with my sisters and my sister in law.  The next day my sister sent me the below picture.  She got hers in 17 Fabulous Fuchsia.  Since then she told me that she loves it and has used her so much that it is almost gone.  A few days later she went back and picked up Nude Kiss as well.

Fabulous Fuchsia | lookingjoligood.blog

 What does the Essence Website have to say about the XXXL Shine Lipglosses:

“Ultimate shine for your lips! The XXXL shine lipgloss pampers your lips without leaving behind a sticky feeling. Contains vitamin e and panthenol to moisturize and prevent lips from feeling dry. Available in 12 glossy shades.”

Now I have three of the 12 shades and I love them all.  They are all somewhat similar, yet a bit different, and all beautiful!

Eco Tools Brushes

~Weekly Product Highlight~Eco Tools Brushes~

Eco Tools is celebrating its 10th anniversary and they have recently rebranded a lot of their brushes and tools.

Recently my sister told me about a great deal on Amazon, I got this Limited Edition Anniversary Collection set for only $5!  I have no idea why they were offering these brushes at such a great price, but I am glad that they did.

These brushes are 100% cruelty-free and vegan. All of Eco tools products are made from recycled aluminum and plastic.  The synthetic bristles are super soft.

This set comes with six brushes and an aluminum metallic rose-gold cylinder brush-holder
The brushes included are:

Aluminum cylinder brush-holder: perfect for traveling this is a recycled beautiful metallic rose-gold holder.

wp-1490712342673.jpg

My favorite of all the brushes is the angled crease brush. Whenever I am trying to get ready quickly and only have a lot of time, I use this brush to apply my shadow.   It makes applying a transition crease shade quick and easy.  As well, a great brush helps to make even the worse of shadows go on easier.

Limited Edition Anniversary Collection ANGLED CREASE brush | lookingjoligood.blog

While the amazon special sale is no longer going on, the Anniversary brush set is still available for $19.99.  Whether $5 or $20, these brushes are absolutely worth it! I would pay more than $5 for just this angled crease brush alone.

“Only available for a limited time.

Pantene Overnight Miracle Repair Serum Review

~Weekly Product Highlight~ Pantene Overnight Miracle Repair Serum Review~

I love Pantene!  Pantene makes my all time favorite shampoo and conditioner!  Even when I have used other higher end hair care brands, I always end up coming back to Pantene.

You may remember, I have extremely straight fine somewhat oily hair that I wear styled in a medium-short graduated bob with side swept bangs.  Since my hair is somwhat oily, I have to wash and style it every day.  I have never been able to get away with “second-day” hair. *sigh*

All that washing and styling can be tough on the hair.

I am a firm believer in prevention!  I prefer to prevent my hair from damage before it even happens!  This Pantene Overnight Miracle Repair Serum is perfect for what I need. It not only prevents damage, but it also helps erase any damage I might have while I sleep.

pantene overnight miracle | lookingjoligood.blog

One of the things that I like best about this Overnight Miracle Repair Serum is
that it quickly repairs my hair and leaves it feeling soft and strong without having a heavy, sticky, or oily feeling.  It is not heavy and does not weigh the hair down.

I apply this product on the ends of my hair to about mid-way up the hair shaft. If I really want an extra deep conditioning, I will apply it all over my hair even on my scalp. Since I have short fine hair, I can get away with using only one pump or two if I am going for a deeper all over the head application. Since I use only one pump at a time, this almost 5 fl oz bottle lasts me a really long time!

It is a transparent white thin cream, that has a beautiful light pleasant clean scent. One pump gives about a quarter sized amount of product.

Pantene Overnight Miracle Repair Serum | lookingjoligood.blog

What does the Pantene website have to say about  it:

“System erases 6 months of damage in 1 use

Don’t lose sleep over damage—lose the damage while you sleep. This easy-to-use overnight treatment will give your hair a shiny, smooth, soft wake-up call  that is weightless and non-sticky, and leaves no residue on your pillow.

USAGE:
WHO: Those who have damaged, stressed, and overworked hair; gentle enough for those who perm or color-treat

WHEN: Nightly, on wet or dry hair to noticeably repair damaged hair

HOW: Apply 1 to 2 pumps to hair—starting at the bottom and working your way up—stopping about mid-shaft. No need to wait or even rinse—go right to bed!”

If you feel as if your hair could use some extra moisture and conditioning as well as a bit of repair, I definitely recommend you give this Overnight Miracle Repair Serum a try.  A 4.9 fl oz bottle costs only around $6.50.

What about you, have you ever used this Pantene Overnight Miracle Repair Serum?  Did you feel like it made a difference in your hair? I would love to hear what you think?

Lorac Unzipped Palette Review and Swatches

~Weekly Product Highlight~

~Lorac Unzipped Palette Review and Swatches~

I received this palette for Christmas and instantly fell in love!  It is a neutral to warm toned rose gold themed palette. I love Lorac products and especially their eyeshadows, this is no exception!  These shadows are soft and smooth and blend so easily!

“Get UNZIPPED and unleash your natural beauty with LORAC’S universally flattering nude eye shadow palette.Create unlimited head-turning looks with the MINI Behind The Scenes Eye Primer for long-lasting color and 10 ultra-rich, shimmering and matte shadows in a super sexy, nude palette. LORAC: UNZIPPED, UNCENSORED and UNBELIEVABLE!”

This $42 Lorac Unzipped Palette includes

  • Unzipped Shimmer & Matte Eye Shadow Palette (0.39 oz.)
  • Mini Behind The Scenes Eye Primer (0.19 oz.)

unzippedpackaging

The packaging is simple, thin, and lightweight.  It is made out of a heavyweight sturdy cardboard with a  glossy finish.  It has a pretty good sized mirror.  One of the things I really enjoy about this palette is the larger pan sizes.

There are 9 shimmer/satin shades and 3 matte shades.

Matte: Unconditional, Unspoken, Unbridled,

Shimmer/Satin: Undercover, Unbelievable, Unattainable, Undiscovered, Unreal Uncensored, Untamed.Lorac Unzipped | lookingjoligood.blog

All of the shadows in the Unzipped palette have names that start with UN:

Undercover– Pink-toned white with a satin finish.
Unbelievable– Medium rose-toned copper with a metallic finish.
Unattainable– Bronzey mauve with a shimmering metallic finish.
Unconditional– Dusty pink matte.
Unbridled– Warm-toned burgundy with a matte finish.
Undiscovered– Tangerine-toned bronze with a frosty metallic finish.
Unreal– Peachy pink pearly beige with a frosty metallic finish.
Uncensored– Medium-deep bronzey brown with a pearly, shimmering finish.
Unspoken– Warm earthy clay brown with a matte finish.
Untamed– Purple based deep brown burgundy with a shimmering glitter finish.

Lorac Unzipped | lookingjoligood.blog

These swatches were applied with a dry brush onto a primer.   These shadows apply beautifully when applied both wet or dry.  They have great lasting power.  I haven’t noticed any fading even after 8 hours of wear time.

unzippedswatches

The matte shades are easy to work with and blend, the shimmery and glittery shades are beautiful and easy to use and apply.  I do find that the shimmery shades work best with a primer or some sort of base.  These shadows can have a bit of fallout. As with most shadows, I notice more fallout with the darker shades and a bit more the more shimmery the shade is.

Lorac Unzipped | lookingjoligood.blog
Of the 10 shadows,  my favorites are the top center 3: Unbelievable, Unattainable, and Unconditional.

The only shadow that I don’t find to be as amazing as all the others are is Unreal.  It is a bit stiffer and less creamy than the other shadows.  Don’t get me wrong, it is still beautiful and it still works well, it just isn’t as easy to apply and blend as the other shadows in this palette.  Too bad because it is actually my favorite of all the shimmer shades.

Lorac Unzipped | lookingjoligood.blog

The shade that I have gotten the most use out of so far is Unconditional.  It is a beautiful neutral matte rosy mauve shade.  I have been using it as a contouring crease/transition color.  It is perfect for when I want something a little softer and don’t want to use a brown.

Lorac Unzipped | lookingjoligood.blog

In a way, Unconditional somewhat reminds me of Tease from my Naked2 palette and Sweetheart from the Tarte Tartlette In Bloom. (my other favorites as a crease/transition shade). Sweetheart is medium peachy-orange with warm undertones and Tease is a matte mushroom taupe with purple undertones. Unconditional is the combination of the two of them, a matte dusty rose pink mauve.

favorite transition shades | lookingjoligood.blog

As I mentioned, I got it for Christmas, used it Christmas day.   I used it over and over every day and didn’t put it down again for several weeks.  Despite the fact that I got a few other makeup palettes for Christmas, this is the one that I found myself reaching for every day.

I talked about this palette non-stop to my sister in law, I’m sure she is so sick of hearing about how great it is and how much I love it.  The shades are gorgeous and can create so many beautiful looks.

unzipped | lookingjoligood.blog

I don’t know if it is just because I enjoy wearing it so much and love using these shadows, but I find that every time I use this palette someone will compliment my eye look.

Overall, this is a must-have palette!  I think it would be great in any makeup collection beginner or more advanced makeup wearer.

What about you, what do you think?  Do you have this palette in your collection?  Are you drawn to the beautiful rose gold shades like I am?  Let me know in the comment section below.

Clean and Clear Deep Action 60 Second Shower Mask

~Weekly Product Highlight~

It was recently my birthday, (Happy birthday to me!)  and since it was my birthday, I ate a lot of junk! Like, a lot of junk…!

Due to eating more sugar, candy, and junk than usual, my skin has been a mess! When my breakouts are typically along my jawline when they are sugar related. I hate having skin issues from sugar!

Anyway, long story short, I used this Clean and Clear Deep Action 60 second shower mask every day for about a week and my skin started looking awesome again in no time!

I have normal to combo skin, and I can use this mask in the shower every day without any issues or irritation.
clean and clear deep action 60 second shower mask | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

When first applied it feels great! There is a wonderful tingling sensation.  It’s probably all in my head, but because of the sensation, I can feel it working deep down in my pores!

Only a small amount of the mask is needed.  Less than a dime size is more than enough to apply over my entire face.  After applying the mask all over my face I let it sit on my face while I wash my hair and body.  I love that I can to more than one thing at a time and not waste time waiting for the mask to work. After I finish washing up, I gently massage my face with the exfoliating beads and then rinse it all off.  My face feels soft and smooth and cool from the menthol.
clean and clear deep action 60 second shower mask | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
When I first started using this I thought that one thing I would change would be that it had more exfoliating beads in it.  Although, since it is for daily use, it is probably better that it has fewer and is a gentler exfoliator.
clean and clear deep action 60 second shower mask | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Just to warn you, this product has alpha hydroxy acid in it which can increase sensitivity to the sun.  If you are fair skinned like me and burn in the sun, you will want to be extra careful!  Personally, I have found that sunscreen doesn’t even help when I have used a product with AHA in it.  If I know that I am going to be spending time in the sun in the future, I will usually stop using a product with AHA in it two weeks in advance.
clean and clear | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
The 1 oz tube samples lasted me about 2 weeks, and a 5 oz bottle lasts me about 2 months of everyday use.

A 5 oz bottle of this Clean and Clear Deep Action 60 second shower mask costs around $5. (worth every penny in my opinion.)

I have used two 1 oz samples and an entire full sized bottle.  I have also already purchased a second full-size bottle, so obviously, I really like this stuff!

Lips 101 After Hours by Preventive Measures

~Weekly Product Highlight~Lips 101 After Hours~

I love chapstick! Well…I should rephrase that, I love smooth, creamy, moisturizing chapstick. I hate stiff waxy sticky drying chapsticks.

This Preventive Measures Lips 101 After Hours by Preventive Measures is exactly what I want from a chapstick.  It is what my chapstick dreams are made of: creamy, smooth, moisturizing, and sweet smelling!

I had never heard of thisPreventive Measures brand until I received this Lips 101 After Hours in my October ipsy glam bag.  Since receiving this chapstick I have been using it constantly.  I carry it in my pocket with me every where I go.

lips 101 | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

While the packaging is just your typical run of the mill nothing special white chapstick tube container, the product inside is anything but run of the mill.  “The technology is a double-layered encapsulation of actives in powder form microspheres. The unique structure protects actives from premature release from oxygen and heat. Time, friction, or moisture will trigger release of the actives from the system.” I don’t know exactly how the time release feature works, but I know that it definitely does work!

The formula slides onto the lips easily without any pulling or tuggin leaving my lips feeling soft and moisturized! (I HATE it when chapstick application tugs and pulls and does more harm than good.) It smells sweet and fruity, similar to a pina colada or passionfruit flavor.  It was love at first swipe. 

It comes in two formulas.  The After Hours version that I have, and an SPF 30 broad spectrum UVA/UVB lip balm in a citrus/tangerine scent.  The SPF 30 version keeps the lips protected and hydrated throughout the day. Both formulas include the innovative time release moisture.

lips 101 preventive measures | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

The SPF 30 Lip Balm is $15 USD for a 4 gm/ 0.15 oz tube.  Lips 101 After Hours Lip Balm is $13 USD for a 4 gm/ 0.15 oz tube.  You can save $7 USD by purchasing them together for $21.  These balms are made in the USA by Chayya Products Inc.

Both lip balms can be purchase at www.preventivemeasures101.com and a portion of the proceeds are donated to skin cancer research, which as an oncology nurse is near and dear to my heart.

A portion of the proceeds are donated to skin cancer research | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

What does the Preventative Measures Website have to say about it?

“We created Lips 101 After Hours with the same extraordinary 
technology and innovative ingredients without the SPF 30. We increased the moisture ingredients to maximize its benefits
 to the lips. In Lips 101 after hours, we have formulated the product to intensify 
the benefits to relieve cracked, wrinkled and dry lips. Increasing the anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory delivery system 
technology.

“Lips 101 has reinvented the ordinary lip balm with innovative technology and a SPF 30 protection. Made with shea butter, safflower oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E, chamomile and a medley of “super fruits” (pomegranate, red grape, grapefruit, apple) for anti-oxidant properties. Lips are protected and hydrated throughout the day and receive ultimate moisture throughout the night!”

I also really like the back story of this company and Anjani Singh:

“After 20 years of experience as a chemist in the skincare industry, Anjani Singh was inspired to create her own line of unisex skincare products. Concerned with the growing population of skin cancer she set out to create a unique, preventive SPF 30 by incorporating the technologies of a time-release moisturizer….launching Preventive Measures 101 as her own private label, dedicated to make a valuable difference in the lives of both men and women.”

I really love this product, the moisture technology, brand, and awareness behind it!

MILANI FIERCE FOIL EYESHINE Review and Swatches

~Weekly Product Highlight~MILANI FIERCE FOIL EYESHINE

A while ago my sister gave me this little quad of Foil Eyeshines. They didn’t work out for her, so she figured that maybe I could try them out.  That is a great thing about makeup, a product that doesn’t work for one person can be a winner for someone else.

MILANI FIERCE FOIL EYESHINE | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

The shimmer effect and beautiful colors of these foil eyeshines are outstanding!  While they can be worn on their own, I always wear it with a primer or a base like the Milani ShadowEyez Eye Shadow Pencils.

At first look in the pans I thought the shadows would a metallic shimmer, but once applied it actually comes across as a glittery finish. Despite all the glitter, they dry quickly with a smooth texture.  They have a similar texture and feel as Colorpop shadows…a little bouncy and wet, yet not really wet… that totally clears things up doesn’t it.

swatches | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I have heard some people complain that for them these shadows wore off quickly or creased.  Or like for my sister just didn’t work out.  The website does say “Reapply as needed”,  seriously though, who wants to have to reapply eyeshadow through out the day?

Personally I have worn these for more than 8 hours and it still looked beautiful.  I think it just depends on your skin type and how oily your eyelids are.  I found them to be a great success.

spatula | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

The applicator it comes with is not the typical foam tip type that most shadows come with.  Instead it is more like a small rubber spatula.  I don’t really find that it works well, so I just apply these shadows with my finger tips.

milani-fierce-foil-eyeshine-4

These quads are available in 4 different shade combinations: neutral, rose gold, purples and blues.  I have the color quad 02 ROME Lush Lavenders & Smokey Purples.  These are available for $9.99 at most drugstores.

milani fierce foil eyeshine | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

What does the Milani Website have to say about the MILANI FIERCE FOIL EYESHINE

“A next-level eye glimmer with a foil finish that lights up the eyes. More shine than shadow, Milani Fierce Foil Eyeshine glides smoothly across lids, leaving a buildable sheen that looks beautiful worn alone or on top of eyeshadow for extra intensity. Create endless looks, highlight, define, color and accent your eyes. Available in four expertly curated palettes named after Italy’s starriest cities.

Tap applicator onto color and glide over eye, starting close to lash line. Blend and build with applicator or fingertip to create a luxurious look. Reapply as needed. A little goes a long way!”

Have you tried any of these MILANI FIERCE FOIL EYESHINE?  What did you think?  Did they work out for you?  Did you find them to be long wearing or have to reapply them?

Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Unscented Lotion

~Weekly Product Highlight~Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Unscented Lotion

This is one of the best hand lotions that I have used in a long time!  It sinks into the skin quickly without leaving a greasy feel to the skin.  Most of the dry skin lotions I have used before are either tacky and sticky or greasy. The finish of this lotion is very smooth.

For use through out the day I like to use lotions without a scent, and this lotion really is unscented as it claims to be.

As a nurse and mother I  was my hands so many times a day. My hands get so sore and dry especially this time of year when it is colder.  I have used this vaseline lotion consistently for a few weeks now and the results are amazing! My skin feels moisturized and healthy, not sore or irritated at all.

A 10 oz bottle costs around $3.50 and a 1 oz sample sized tube can be purchased for around $1 USD.

Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Unscented Lotion | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

What does the Vaseline Website have to say about it:

“Clinically proven to moisturize to heal very dry skin in 5 days

  • Fast-healing moisture for when your skin’s dry and rough
  • Relieves even stubborn dry patches
  • Appropriate for sensitive skin
  • Absorbs fast for a non-greasy feel

Loreal Infallible Eyeshadows

~Weekly Product Highlight~Loreal Infallible Eyeshadows~

 

wp-1459775132409.jpg

I absolutely LOVE this product it is by far one of the best eyeshadows I have ever had.  It never creases, fades, or flakes, and a little bit goes a long way and lasts all day.   These shadows are packed with pigment and shimmer.They are available in 24 beautiful shades and generally cost around $7 USD. Some of my favorites shades are Always Pearly Pink, Amber Rush, and Liquid Diamond.

Loreal Infallible Eyeshadows | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

As you can tell from the above picture, these shadows swatch amazingly beautifully.  They go onto the eyes just as beautifully.  They have a velvety super smooth texture that has a cream to powder finish.  The color payoff is amazingly rich without any creasing or fallout.

loreal-infallible-eyeshadow-amber-rush | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Amber rush is seriously gorgeous.  It reminds me a lot of Chopper from Urban Decay minus the fall out.  The color payoff from just a single swipe with the finger is amazing!  The below swatch is one swipe of Amber Rush and Chopper is applied wet.

loreal-infallible-eyeshadow-amber-rush | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I have so many other high end eye shadows from MAC, Urban Decay, Lorac, and the Balm, the pigmentation of these Loreal Infallible Eyeshadows is so concentrated that I might almost say that it is better than all those other more expensive shadows.

loreal-infallible-eyeshadow | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

 

To be honest it is not all perfection…I am going to warn you, if you don’t close the cover completely it will dry out. On the top of the little plastic protector that comes with the shadow it says Do Not Discard, it means it, don’t throw it out or the shadow will be all dried out and unusable.  Also  don’t press the gray insert down onto the shadow too tightly.  I learned the hard way that it will squeeze out all the liquid and also cause the shadow to dry out quickly. Since they have that kind of a powder/cream consistency you cannot use a brush to apply them. (It is similar to Color Pop shadows.) They are best when applied with the fingers.  If you always prefer to use a brush to apply your shadows these are not the shadows for you.

What does the Loreal Website have to say about it?

Velvety formula. Fadeproof. Waterproof.

For the 1st time ever, L’Oréal Paris introduces an ultra intense eye shadow that lasts from day until dawn—a full 24 hours.
