Gabriel Cosmetics, has a really great eye primer. The formula is really silky, smooth and just a dab goes a long way. The primer is a neutral but it’s nice an bright so it opens up my eyes while priming for shadow. It helped keep my shadow colors vibrant and works as a great base from everything from powder to cream shadows.

I love this product, its very different from anything I have ever used but it really brings my curls back to life. Just rub in your hands with a little water and scrunch through your hair. After I let it sit for a few minutes I rinse out and shampoo and condition. My curls hold their shape so much better and it helps bring out the nice big, loose curls in my hair not the tiny spiral curls I dread. So easy and using just once a week my hair looks so much better.
