Yea and Nay :: July

The first in what I hope with be a regular end-of-the-month (yes I realize I'm late) feature highlighting my a favorite and least favorite product of the month. I think personal recommendations are so helpful when it comes to beauty products so this is my little attempt.

I. Love. This. Eyeshadow.
I kind of got this by accident. David needed to round out an online order for free shipping and he offered to let me pick out a little something to add. When I sent him a note asking if this eyeshadow qualified he went ahead and ordered it. I would have probably spent another hour trying to decide what color to get, but the link I had sent him was for Pomegranate Punk 30, so that's what I got!
And it is the best oops I've encountered thus far.
The color is rich and vibrant, even on someone with medium tan skin like myself. The application is effortless and it truly is long lasting. It's not heavy or greasy. It looks great by itself for a quick splash of color or layered with other shadows for a more dramatic effect. After about twelve hours of wear I did have some creasing and it was just looking a tad worn but I wore it without primer and my eyelids are super crease prone.
I am so excited about this shadow that I want one in every color. Even the blues! Which I never wear!

I picked this top coat up because I was in desperate need and it was on sale. I typically like to use the fast dry top coats, but was feeling extra frugal that day.
Siiiiiiiigh.
I wish I had spent the extra couple of dollars for a top coat that works.
Everything about this top coat seems great until you actually have to start using your hands and realize that it's No Chip promise falls short.
It's just not very good and I even feel like my polish is MORE chip-prone when I use this product. :(
