| So I used a little of my old brow pencil (Rimmel in Sable) just in the arch to kindof fade it out. |
**I really like this pencil so far. It seems to be a nice color and have a pretty smoothe texture. I like that it is retractable too! BUT mine isn't seeming to go back down. So, I'm not sure if its just mine... or....? Let me know if your's does that too!

**I really like this product, too! I HIGHLY doubt that I'll be using it as a bronzer or blush as the back suggests. It says you can also use it as an eyeshadow which I can see myself doing. But I think I'll be using it for a cheek highlight the majority of the time, though. Its just so pretty! Has a really smoothe texture, too. I applied it with the Real Techniques Blush Brush so I didn't get it too packed on, I wanted it to be pretty subtle. :)

| I compared it to another of my favorite blushes (Nyx in Peach) so you can see that its a medium to darker type of shade. |

| TOP - SHEERED OUT BOTTOM - LAYERED APPLICATION |
**This product is a little iffy to me. I LOVE the color, don't get me wrong! But the formula is so weird. When you swatch it on your finger its kindof pigmented, but then when you transfer it to swatch on your hand its so sheer! BUT then when you use a brush you have to be REALLY careful not to get too much otherwise it looks like you have a rash on your face or rosacea or something! But I guess I learned that the hard way and had to wipe it out and reapply foundation and then do the blush REALLY lightly LOL. Oh well, it was cheap and I like the color, so I'll live with it. :)

**I like this product. IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPARKLE then will NOT like this shade! I'm not sure if the other shades in this line are as sparkley as this, so you'll have to look. I pretty much just saw this shade, grabbed it, and left. I didn't really take time to look at the other colors LOL. I do absolutely love the formula and texture of this, though. Its so creamy and long lasting just like the Maybelline Color Tattoos! I also really like the packaging. It reminds me of the L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadows, in that it isn't heavy glass, and it has a lid inside to keep the product from drying out. LOVE THIS! Have to check out the other colors! :)
Maybelline - Eyestudio Quad: Fall Temptation (Limited Edition)

| Hard Candy All Lid Up Cream Eyeshadow in Fancy Pants (LID) 1st shade in quad (BROWBONE HIGHLIGHT) 2nd shade in quad (INNER CORNER) 3rd shade in quad (CREASE & MIDDLE LOWER LASHLINE) 4th shade in quad (OUTER "V" & OUTER LOWER LASHLINE) |
**I LOVE THESE FREAKIN' QUADS!! They're sooooo buttery and pigmented that you barely even have to dip your brush in! Which means you aren't using a ton of product, so I guess that compensates for the slightly smaller than normal pan sizes! Can't say anything bad about these except that they need to come out with MORE MORE MORE!! :)

**I definitely like this product, but I think it's marketed oddly. It says you're supposed to use the little smudger sponge to smudge it out and make it look "smoky". Well, if you use that, it completely takes away the product and rubs it off. So I would just let it set for a few seconds and just use your finger. The heat from your finger will help with blending it out and isn't so harsh as a sponge, giving you a smoother smudge... LOL I hope that's not too confusing! But I really do love this color, but since the tip is a little too big to apply a thinner line on the upper lash line, I had to use a smaller brush. I used the Sigma Eyeliner E11. They probably have a really similar color from their Master Drama line which I didn't even think to check, but I liked applying it with the brush because I could get it more precise anyways! :)

**As I mentioned in the video, I already have THREE other colors from this line. I looooooove this lipgloss formula! It lasts for HOURSSSS!!! It really is amazing and all the colors are so pretty. But they don't really have any that AREN'T sparkely/glittery/duochromey LOL. But the glitters in it aren't gritty or chunky at all so it doesn't feel like you have sand on your lips! Which is always a nice thing! These are my favorite lipglosses IN. THE. WORLD. :)
So here's the finished look! Almost did a full face with all these products! Just left out foundation, concealer, and mascara! But I'm EXTREMELY happy to say that I love EVERYTHING!
Also, as I mentioned in my haul video, I WILL be doing a review of the Anti-Itch Plus stuff I bought for my lips (but I have to say that right now it's working pretty well! shhhh!)
I will also be doing a review on the Ion Repair Solutions Effective Care Treatment! I'm going to be doing that after I bleach my hair, so we'll REALLY get to see if its magic or not!
I'm also going to do another mani post on the Revlon nail polish I mentioned in the haul!
AAAAAAAAAND I'm going to be doing some more FOTD's with that Kat Von D palette! (Is it sad that I've had it for like a couple of weeks and haven't gotten around to using it on my eyes yet?!)
ARE YOU EXCITED?! Because I AM!!!
I love you all sooooooooo much <3
