My Experience with Streetwear Eye Definer in Shade 08 Black:

Packaging: The usual styled pencil made of wood and a black colored pencil tip. The whole pencil is colored silver with details printed in black. There is a portion at the end of the pencil colored in black, I guess to indicate that the eyeliner is black too. The pencil has a clear see-through plastic cap to cover the open end of the pencil.

Colour, Texture and Staying Power: The color of this eye definer is black as mentioned in the title before, but however it is not the exact black that any one would want. It is a sort of faded black. This eye definer does not give that heavy jet black around the eyes, I do not think that my eyes catch any attention with this eye definer.
               The texture of this eye definer is smooth, but not creamy enough to give the color in one shot. It glides well on the lash line (I have tried it only on my upper lash line). The pencil is not hard on the sensitive skin of the eyes. Repeated swipes on the lash line did not hurt my eye lid.
            Staying power is just about 4 hours with some smudging observed on my eye lid. I usually apply my daily cream on my eyes before using any eye product. I believe it is because of the cream, this eye definer smudged on my eyelid. Else, this product is not creamy enough to get smudged.

How it works: Drawing a line with this pencil around the eyes is just very simple and easy. No much talent required as it will not go around messing the look. But it requires quite a few swipes. After about 4-5 swipes on the lash line there is some amount of black visible, But by then my application turns out to be real thick and broad. And then I will have to again shape the line I drew, which will subsequently make my eyeliner more thick. Well, sometimes I like this brad thick eye liner look when I am in no make up mood for my eyes. No tugging or clumping of the product on the lash line.
       It is easily washed with plain water, a little rub with the fingers and it is gone. But if at all it gets into the eyes it stings very badly. I had this experience. It pricked for about 4-5 minutes. I have not come across any eye product which behaves so badly on the eyes. Street Wear Eye Definer looses all its points here.

Natures Brilliance By Sue Mineral Eye Colors: Review, Swatches and EOTDs

15 Replies
Today, I am reviewing three mineral eye colors from Nature’s Brilliance By Sue. I have been testing on their blush and lip balms too, which I will be reviewing later.  As this is my first review on their products, let us check more about the brand before the product description. About the Brand: Sue is the Sole Proprietor of Nature’s Brilliance By Sue. It is located on the East Coast in a small town in New Jersey. It was formed to help people locate products for their skin tone & skin type. Sue has dealt with multiple allergies for years and through persistence and exhaustive research has found a line of natural mineral make-up and organic skin and body care products suitable for all skin types, even those with multiple allergies. Nature’s Brilliance By Sue will not sell any product that is not 100% Natural or Organic and has not been tested by the owner her self. Sue has a Diploma in both Holistic Beauty Therapy and Holistic Herbal Therapy; with Certificates in Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Bach Flower Remedies, Crystal Healing, and Business Development for the Alternative Health Therapist, from the Natural Health Institutes, based in Canada. 
There is no detailed product description given, but as per the site these mineral eye colors are made of Mica, Iron Oxide. Matte shades contain Serecite (uncolored mica). These are mineral eye colors, hence that becomes a huge plus for all nature lovers. Why should we always go for the chemical ones?

My Experience with these Eye colors
I got a full size pack (Ocean blue) and 2 samples from the brand for reviewing purposes. From my point of view, the packaging is sturdy, fit and travel friendly. Still you need to be careful while application as there may be some fall outs because of the thing that they are loose eye pigments. The eye colors come in a cute small transparent plastic tub with handwritten shade name on the base. Isn’t that natural for a mineral eye color? There is an inner vacuum lid present with tiny holes to prevent spillage, overall I don’t find anything bad about the packaging.
From my personal experience, I loved all the three shades I got, especially the ocean blue one. The Ocean Blue shade has white, sky blue and bright ink blue shimmers which are glittery. To say about the Mint Shimmer shade, it is a lovely milky pale green shade with white and light green shimmers and the Blue Topaz shade is more glittery while comparing to the other two shades. The Blue Topaz one has a very slight ink blue tint which would not be that visible on your eyelids. All these shades are rich and smooth to be easily applied over your eyelids. A very small amount is needed for your whole eyelid area to achieve a soft look, however you can make it pigmented for a party or festival look. The shades ocean blue and mint shimmer are moderately pigmented with tiny shimmers while the blue topaz one shows just a little blue tint with more shimmery glitters. One needs to be more careful while applying their more glittery shades to prevent here and there’ spreading of glitters around the eye areas.
   Some shades from the range are moderate pigmented with tiny glitters while the others are very shimmery having a slight tint. Of course, there are some matte shades too. The staying power is approximately 5 to 6 hours which is pretty good for me. These mineral eye colors can be easily removed with your regular cleansing milk. Overall, the mineral eye colors from Nature’s Brilliance By Sue are worth every penny to try. You would love to wear them for party and festival eye looks, of course, the less glittery shades can be worn for daily wear too. I am in love with these mineral eye colors mainly for the reasons that they are soft, glittery and available in several number of shades.
PROS
  1. Several shades with different textures available such as shimmer, sparkle and luster.
  2. It is a mineral makeup product. Hence, no need to fear for much chemicals.
  3. No side effects.
  4. Smooth and easy application.
  5. Glittery shades for party/festival wear.
  6. Easily removable with a regular cleansing milk.
  7. Staying power is  5-6 hours, which is decent.
  8. Cute, Sturdy and travel friendly packaging.
  9. Samples are available to try.
  10. Affordable for the worth and quantity they provide.
  11. The color doesn’t tend to change. It fades eventually without looking artificial.
CONS
  1. I find nothing bad about these eye colors. You might not like it if you’re a lover of deep pigmented matte shade lover. I am not sure though, check out their other shades.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Recommendation: I highly recommend these mineral eye colors to all eye makeup and eye color lovers. A wonderful collection to try!

Would I Repurchase?: Do you think I wont? Of course I will purchase more from their collection. I am currently eying out for the soft pink and coral shades.

Easy 3 Minute Eye Makeup Tutorial for Beginners

29 Replies
Hey girls! Today I am here with a simple EOTD. Being an eye makeup beginner, I started loving experiments in eye makeup and the results are these continuous EOTD posts. I am sure, I will be posting more EOTDs and tutorials here as I almost turned an addict of them. This EOTD is the result of my morning try. I just started to try something different, no pre planning and it ended up like this. I am not that impressed with my perfection here, but still I loved the colour combination a lot. I used 2 different eyeliners with different shades and made the eyeshadow subtle. Let me show you the pictures and explain you the steps briefly.

Steps

1. Cleanse and Prime your eyes. I skipped the primer here and used the Lotus Herbals Swift Makeup stick instead. Apply your kajal (Optional) and wash your eyelids with the eyeshadow of your wish. I made the shade of the eyeshadow very light in this EOTD.
2. Now start lining your eyes with your favorite shimmer eyeliner. Don’t go for black this time as black is the colour we girls use most of the days. If you are a expert in lining your eyes, you can do it in your comfortable way. If you’re still a beginner, don’t worry. First start lining from the middle upper lash line to the the outer corner, then line from the inner corner and join both. You can extend the eyeliner up to a some length of your wish but I personally prefer to extend not more than a bit, for a natural look.
3. After the eyeliner gets dry, start lining thin above the glittery eyeliner using your pencil eyeliner. Make sure both the shades match. As the first one we used is the shimmer one, a matte eyeliner will do the trick now. I prefer using any dark colour for this to get a fuller eye look. Apply your mascara and allow it to dry.
4. Now you can skip this step if you want 😛 I just tried something funny. If you’re going out somewhere, please do skip this step. I designed my outer corner little funny with a liquid eyeliner simply. That’s it. My EOTD is done. As a beginner, I felt very easy doing this, so hope you will too.

Products Used

1. Lotus Herbals Swift Makeup Stick.
2. Lakme Fantasy Shimmer Eyeliner (Midnight Moon)
3. Deborah Milano Long Lasting Eye Pencil
4. Lakme Insta Eye liner
5. Faces Cosmetics Eyeshadow Duo

Hope you liked the tutorial. I am waiting to hear from you what you feel now! 🙂
