ELF Eyelid Primer From Regular Line

Do you guys have this? Like it or hate it?

This is from the Regular line. I have both this and the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer. In my opinion, this perform as well as the UD for a fraction of the price ($1 for ELF!). The eye primer dries clear, and maybe often the faintest hint of brightening. My eyeshadow appear to last throughout the day with no budging. There is only slight fading but this is the same with UD since my lids are pretty oily.

The only negative I can think of is if you are in Canada, it's impossible to get it in store. Zellers carry a few ELF products however I don't see this in stock anywhere. So you are forced to order online which means shipping and custom fee =/

I also have the eye primer from the Studio line but haven't tried it yet. Gonna do a comparison review on the primers from two lines once I tried them both.

Verdict: cheap, effective, but not quite accessible!

Rimmel London Glitter Eyeshadow Pencil in Star Kissed

I got this Rimmel glittering eyeshadow stick a long time ago. Really liked it, and somehow forgot about it. Recently I rediscovered it again while going through my makeup stash.

Star Kissed (006) is a pale shimmering pink. The eyeshadow is creamy and the color is gorgeous. It makes for a great highlighter on the inner corners of your eyes. However, it is not very long lasting, and would definitely require an eyeshadow base. Comparing to my Victoria Secret's in Glampagne, its lasting power is significantly less.

Verdict: purchase if you like the color, though I would recommend the Victoria Secret Chubby Eye Stick over these.

Victoria Secret Chubby Eye Stick in Glampagne

Swatch on my hand

I love this eyeshadow stick! The shade is gorgeous, a bronzy shimmering beige neutral. The color is versatile in that you can use it by itself for everyday look, or layer on top of your night look. I got it during a sale so it was also very affordable (~$3 each). The eyeshadow is creamy, and glide on well.

The only annoying thing is that it is VERY hard to find a big enough pencil sharpener for this since it's bigger than the typical eyeshadow stick. I also have another in a shimmery lilac color. However have not broken the seal yet, will review when I use it.

Verdict: Repurchase! (in different colors since this one will still last me for a while)
