I decided to try out three items- lipstick, mascara, and eyeliner.
First up is the mascara. It is called "AM/PM" and has a double ended brush.
The a.m. side says "defining" and its a rubber brush. The p.m. side says "volumising" and it's the fiber one.
Here are the results I got:
Obviously any mascara is an improvement over my bare lashes! The formula was really thin, and I did not care for it at all. I want to really "feel" the mascara on my lashes, and I didn't. The dual brush wasn't really a selling point for me either. I didn't feel like it did enough to warrant buying again, and it was a pretty high price for a non-brand- it was around $17.
Next up, the eyeliner:
The swatch:
It is a really pretty ocean type blue. I liked the colour, and I liked that the product lasted nearly 8 hours completely intact. It did have a little dry time after I applied it initially, so I had to leave my eye closed. I've worn it with just a tan eyeshadow and I thought it came out fine- it's not neon but vibrant enough.
It was a pretty ok eyeliner, but not like "Wow, I love it!", I mean eyeliner isn't hard to find.
Next up is a lipstick, I got the shade "Geranium".
The swatch:
It is a pretty colour, but such a shame because it totally sucks. I mean do not buy their lipstick, period. It is so slimey it basically came off before I could even photo it. It is just a horrible product, I threw it away.
So in short, I would not buy their cosmetics again. Personally I wasn't impressed with the store itself so it's definitely not worth me making a special trip and the one I went to was even in another country. I honestly have no clue why their stuff is getting talked about besides affordability, and cheap in this case definitely doesn't mean good. Just my opinion.
