My Review of Dual Mirror Compact

Originally submitted at EyesLipsFace.com

The essential dual mirror compact with a chic velvet travel pouch. Great for quick on-the-go touchups. One side of the compact reveals a regular mirror while the other side has a 2X magnification mirror for easy viewing.


I love this mirror!

Cons: Very Small

Best Uses: Daily Use, Travel

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Was this a gift?: No

I have no qualms with this mirror! It is very stylish, has a nice textured casing,great size, clear mirrors and two mirrors with two different magnifications. I use this mirror and the 2x magnification side to apply eyeliner to my waterline and the magnification helps me to apply it precisely and get very detailed with my makeup. This mirror is also great for on the go travel and has a really good casing.

Pros: Glides On Smoothly, Cream eyeshadow texture, Easy To Apply, Doesn't Run

Cons: Not for oily lids, Very opaque, Bad Color, Not Pigmented Enough, Stains lids, Difficult To Apply

Best Uses: As an eyeshadow base, As a cream eyeshadow

Describe Yourself: Trendy Style

I am very disappointed with this eyeliner. I got "purple punk" and the color is beautiful, has a great texture, and the brush it comes with is excellent and soft, but its the product itself that doesn't work well. It applies more opaque than pigmented. Had there been more pigmentation this would be perfect, but its not. This eyeliner has a very creamy texture that would probably work better as a cream eyeshadow than than a gel eyeliner. I had to swipe this on numerous times in order to get some type of color pigmentation to show up. Plus I have a dark brown skin tone and this does not show up well like other gel eyeliners I have used. Lastly, this purple eyeliner stains when its time to take it off.

My Review of Small Smudge Brush

Originally submitted at EyesLipsFace.com

This new anti bacterial, synthetic haired Taklon brush is softer and more absorbent and can be used with wet or dry products. Be a professional makeup artist and create a flawless look with this e.l.f. studio brush!
-Creates detailed pin-pointed color application
-Great for blending in...


This brush is a MUST have!

Pros: Easy To Use, Great Design, Compact, Functional, Soft Bristles, Multifunctional

Best Uses: Detailing, Everyday

Describe Yourself: Trendy Style

This is a wonderful Brush! I don't even use this brush as a smudge brush. It works MUCH better as a detailing brush esp on the lower lash line and outer corner. The brush picks up color evenly, it applies it evenly and precisely where you want it to go.

My Review of Smudge Brush

Originally submitted at EyesLipsFace.com

This short curved brush is the perfect shape to expertly smooth in color along the lash line for a smoky look. The dense brushes apply exact color application for extreme intensity to blend colors or smudge lines. Perfect for contouring and enhancing definition around the eye.


Works better as an eyeshadow brush.

I use this eyeshadow brush for my somewhat small almond shaped lids. This brush picks up color well and applies it great, pigmented, and evenly on the lids. I think this is better as an eyeshadow brush than a smudge bush.
