Review: Revlon Colorstay Gel Eyeliner

Revlon ColorStay Gel Eyeliner
$10.49

I'm not a fan of black eyeliner by day, but it's hard to deny the drama of how liquid black eyeliner looks at night, or maybe it's just that as of late, I am a bit smitten with the fabulously adorable Adele.

The problem with liquid liners, is that they can look harsh and dated.  As well, unless you have the steady hands of a neurosurgeon, it can be a nasty piece of business to apply. Traditional gel liners are an option, but no matter how deftly I dip the brush in the pot, I always end up with too much product and not enough eyelid to put it on.

I had made a note of Revlon ColorStay Gel Eyeliner, since it won a coveted Allure Best of Beauty Award in September of 2015. It is conveniently packaged, with the brush preloaded into the top of the applicator. Lovely to have it tidy and all in one unit; no need to rifle through 20 or so brushes in search of the one intended for eyelining.

Brill, actually...

Review: Brazilian Blowout Instant Body Boost Powder

Gwen Stefani loves lift

I was born in the wrong era.  If it were feasible, I would have a  "bump-it" permanently stitched to the crown of my head, (it's the only possible way to get it to stay, 3 steps out of my bathroom).

Who doesn't look better with a little lift at the root??? My obsession started the first time I saw the film Bonnie and Clyde.  I wanted Faye Dunaway's bob.  The fact that my hair is neither blond or straight was of little concern. Get me a rat tail teasing comb stat...

Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde

Today, I love Gwen, because she has figured out how to add fullness to the crown,  without looking like Snooki.  Adele's do gives me heart palpitations too. My favorite Carrie Bradshaw look evah, was when she got to be a "MODEL". Orlando Pita did her hair and Kevyn Aucoin did her makeup. Both were OTT and SJP never looked better.

When I had the opportunity to try Brazilian Blowout's Instant Body Boost Powder from their new Volume Collection of course I said yes!

$24.00

This is an interesting product, and I just happened to LOVE it.  It requires very, very little to get maximum effect, and nicely, they forewarn you of this.  (I tend to be a more is better kind of Girl and can easily overdose on product.)

Simply rub Instant Volume Body Boost Powder in completely to any area you want to add  some instant volume and lift to. The unique powder formula also will give you a pass, on needing to wash your hair for a day or two.

It gives you Va-Va in about 5 seconds.  I can tell you unequivocally, Brazilian Blowout's Instant Volume Body Boost Powder is a new Holy Grail product for me and I will never be without it.

Here's a link so you can order it immediately. Brazilian Blowout Body Boost Powder.

Now if I could just find that rat tail comb...

Oh. And you're welcome.

Review: Almay Intense i-color Shimmer Kit

Adele does Vogue

The glorious Adele, graced the cover of this month's Vogue.  Besides her glorious voice, Adele's retro style; hair, makeup and clothes are igniting the imagination of women of all ages.  Want to know how to recreate Adele's signature cat-eye?  Beauty Blogs and YouTube videos abound with tutorials. 

It will be interesting to see in the next year or two, if a slimmed down Adele will emerge.  Image is such an integral part of fame, and the pressure to be svelte is felt by children these days, much less International sensations.  Time will tell.

In the interim, I'm a wee bit taken with that cat-eye myself!  I have said in previous blogs, that the only time I ever get compliments on my eye makeup, is when I am wearing Almay's Intense i-color Shadows.  These shadows are specifically created to enhance each of the four eye colors; blue, green, hazel and brown.
