NYX Roll On Eye Shimmer

So, the other day I was at my local Ulta, which, if you haven’t been there, you need to go. It is literally one of the best make-up stores ever and they have an incredible selection of cosmetics. Anyway, I was looking at the NYX cosmetics when something caught my eye. Their roll on eye shimmer. I thought it was a unique idea, so I decided to get it in the beautiful shade of Salmon. When I put it on yesterday morning, I was stunned. It is absolutely gorgeous. They don’t lie when they say eye shimmer, because that stuff is crazy shimmery, but I love a bit of pizzazz here and there, so I didn’t mind. Throughout the day I was pleased to see that it had stayed on and still looked just as pretty as when I first put it on (however, I put E.L.F. Eyelid Primer on under it).

Now time for the drawback. Like most glittery things, the glitter in this seems like it gets all over your face. I had specks on my nose, upper lip, under my eyes, and possibly even some on my forehead. Personally, I don’t find it that bothersome. If you’re interested, check it out at an Ulta location, ulta.com, or nyxcosmetics.com.

Espionage Cosmetics

Espionage Cosmetics is where two of my favorite things combine: geekery and make-up. What first drew me in were some of the nerdy themed collections. From Firefly inspired to gamer-girl collections, their lines appeal to the geek in me. The more girly side of me was drawn to the gorgeous variety of colors. My favorite color has to be Mrs. Reynolds from their Browncoats collection, which is a soft, petal pink. The hook, line, and sinker was the multiple ways to wear it. Their make-up is all mineral based so you can wear their cosmetics on your cheeks and lips as well as your eyes; for even more looks, you can apply it wet or dry. Though, if you wear it on your lips, I suggest applying it wet.

Though these sets are a little pricy ($28 for a set), I still think they’re a must! I would definitely recommend this, whether you’re a geek chic gal or just a color-loving miss, you’re sure to find at least one thing you’ll love!
