My Review: Laura Geller’s Eye Spackle

laura_geller_eye_spackle.jpg

I bought this without reading any of the reviews online.  I was picking up some eyeshadow, and I had run out of my primer.  I picked this up, and was eager to try it!  I have to use primer under my shadow. If I don’t – it wears off by the end of the day!  After I bought this product, I went online and read the reviews on Sephora, and a lot of them were negative! Luckily I found that I really like this product.  It is very white – and some people don’t like that.  It doesn’t matter to me, because I’m putting eyeshadow on top of it anyway.  It holds the shadow in place excellently – and your makeup stays fresh all day!

Laura Geller’s Eye Spackle is a creamy, weightless, light-colored eyeshadow prep.

Makes your eye color glide on smoothly, look vibrant, last longer, and stay truer – it’s the perfect undercoat for powder shadows.

My Review: Baked Marble Eyeshadow

laura_geller_baked.jpg

I recently tried this eyeshadow, and I totally love it!  The marble of colors is so beautiful – it is unlike any ordinary eyeshadow.  There is such depth in the color, it is gorgeous!

Baked Marble Eyeshadow by Laura Geller is baked powders for the eyes that feature multiple infusions of color.

The shadow can be used by swiping the brush all over the entire compact and stroking over the eyelid. Or, you can identify different shades and tones within the palette and apply them individually, use darker tones in the crease and at outer corners, brighter ones to highlight.

All of these gorgeous combinations are designed to use wet or dry, and the deeper tones work beautifully as an eyeliner.

New Tresemme 24 Hour Body Collection

big-voume.jpg

 I have naturally thick hair so I worried that using the Tresemme 24hr body foaming mousse would make me look like a lion. After giving it a few test runs though I love it, instead of my hair doing its usual chia pet frizz look as the day progressed I had the same great even volume throughout the day! My hair stayed smooth and soft the whole day, it works great when I style my hair with hot rollers the curls look perfect and stay intact and smooth all day .

This is a great root boosting spray! My hair is naturally thick and it tends to look really full on the bottom but the weight of my hair flattens the top leaving me frustrated. I have tried a few root boosters in the past but ended up tossing them because they either left my hair sticky or just didn’t work.

Tresemme’s new 24hr root boosting spray was easy to work through my hair without being sticky and it smells great. My roots had body all day and it really helped the weigh down problem I have with my hair.

Tresseme 24 hour body root boost
A weightless styling spray that builds awe-inspiring body and bounce to give your hair (and your day!) a little lift.

This product with Volume Control Complex fortifies your roots with volume that will last for as long as your day (and night) goes on.
Thickens up your hair to provide the perfect base for gorgeous body.

It’s ultra-light and won’t weigh down your hair or let it fall limp throughout the day.

Zap flat roots without washing your hair by blasting them with 24 Hour Root Boost and then blow-drying.

First off, like all the Smooth N’ Shine products I tried this smells amazing. It has a faint coconut smell that is just enough to leave a nice scent without overpowering.
