Clinique All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage
Obtained: PR provided.
Thoughts:
I’ve tried a couple of different eye roll ons and so far this has been my favorite. It’s in a nice slim bottle so it can be kept in your handbag or fridge, it doesn’t have a strong scent and it feels very nice going on. The formula is smooth and feels silky. It is absorbed very fast and the metal roller ball feels very nice. I think it’s best on a hot summer day after being in the fridge for a while. I don’t expect magic results from these kinds of products, I just want them to feel nice and relaxing on my eyes so in that area this gets a big tick from me.
Would I buy Clinique All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage again: Yes, I probably would. It’s cooling and relaxing!

E.L.F. – Studio Shimmer Palette
Obtained: Present from a friend.
Thoughts:
This is my favorite shimmer palette of all time. It goes on smoothly and looks really natural while on. The different colours are a good mix for many different skin tones and looks, I’ve used all 4 colours at one point or another. The palette itself is good for traveling too because it’s very slim. The colours last well through the day but if actually used on the eyelids they do crease a lot. I use it under my brow bone so this isn’t a problem for me. You only need a small amount so I think this palette will last a very long time. The price is right too at around $3! Very happy with this one 😀
Would I buy E.L.F. – Studio Shimmer Palette again: Yes, awesome and under $5!

Revlon False Lashes Review
Obtained: PR provided.
Thoughts:
I love false lashes. These ones are a little more high end than the bulk ones I usually buy ^_^ They are very soft and the and is thin and flexible. I really like the flexibility and softness but they could be a little harder to apply for beginners. The styles were very natural and worked in with regular make up easily without being over the top. They lasted several applications and depending on the kind of glue you use they could be used much more too I think. Overall I think for mid range lashes these are great quality and value. They are styles that I think are perfect for every day use for girls who like a natural look.
Would I buy Revlon False Lashes again: Yes, absolutely!

Australis Eyeshadow Primer
Obtained: Gift Bag.
Thoughts:
Before this I didn’t really use a specific eye primer, I just used my face primer all over my face. I’m always out to try something new though so for a couple of months I used this Australis eye-specific primer and noticed…. pretty much not difference at all. It went on smoothly and didn’t have any particular scent. It felt slippery on while drying and while it did make a minor difference compared to wearing no primer at all it seemed to have less hold than my regular primer. While I’ve seen some good reviews on this for other people it just didn’t really wow me. Definitely worth the price if you don’t use an all over face primer though so I’d suggest trying in store and seeing how it works for you.
Would I buy Australis Eyeshadow Primer again: Not for me but possibly for a friend.

BYS Eye Pallete
Obtained: Bought.
Thoughts:
I spotted this at a junk store and liked the idea of having all of the colours I usually use in one palette for traveling. At around $5 the price was right too. The colours are just beautiful and so bright in the palette. Unfortunately that doesn’t carry over to being on the face and they are not very pigmented at all. I found the colours much closer to the original when applied wet but even then it required a lot of digging to get enough out. For a $5 palette I can’t really complain though, it’s still great for traveling and keeping in my handbag for small touch ups while out. It does have a place in my collection but not as something I would use every day.
Would I buy BYS Eye Pallete again: Probably not because the colours aren’t as bright as I personally like.

Clinique Quickliner Intense
Obtained: PR provided.
Thoughts:
I’m not usually a fan of pencil liners because I find them harder to control than gel or liquid. I actually really liked using these two though. The formula was really creamy, the colours were subtle but still noticeable and they had really nice staying power once completely set. The only drawback I noticed was that the creamy consistency means that they must be stored with lids on otherwise they dry out. Not a big thing but worth mentioning. I like that the base of both the purple and green was dark enough to almost be black but each had a slight coloured shimmer to it. When just applied the colours were very smudge-able and once dry they lasted quite well.
The application was much easier than the traditional pencil as well because it’s a wind up with a very thin tip.
Would I buy Clinique Quickliner Intense again: Yes, they looked great on and lasted well.
