RAMY Beauty Therapy Innocent Beauty Cream Quad


Here's a pot of 4 colors that you can use on your lips, cheeks and eyes. I heart the flattering and soft shades in the Innocent Beauty pot. These are creamy shadows. They looks great on your eyes if you want that little extra something. I wasn't a fan of it on my cheeks or lips because of the iridescence. It's too sparkly anywhere else but the eyes for me.

Cream Eyeshadow - Rehab

Urban Decay's cute, compact, Cream Eyeshadow is convenient to carry in any clutch or purse. The applicator brush makes it easy to use and virtually mess-free. Rehab is a shimmery, creamy taupe color. The best way to apply it is to try a thin layer, then let it dry before reapplying. The color enhances as it dries. Plus if you apply too much, it may goop up in the creases. Once it dries it feels light, but stays all day.

Birch Eyeshadow & Rock Shimmer Wash Eyeshadow

Bobbi's new spring colors include shades of brown. Birch and Mink. The Birch matte eye shadow is a rich soft brown, that glides on your eyelids and stays all day. It is a great to blend and use on your eyelid up to the crease. The Rock Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow is sheen and light. Not to be confused with the Sparkle Eye Shadow. Rock is a shimmery light grey that can be used right under the brow or on your eyelids.

All are infused with rich, bright, matte color. These colors are all new and exclusive to the palette. It is all neatly arranged in a slick, compact fold-out case with a full size mirror. Bobbi Brown continues to amaze me!

Bobbi Brown - Eye Shadows

Bobbi Brown
Metallic Eye Shadow - Bronzed Pink & Penny
Eye Shadow - Rock

Who doesn't love Bobbi Brown? She makes stylish, glamorous makeup that looks good on anyone. Not only that, she gives tips and tricks to make us regular gals look good every day. I have tried and used three of her eye shadows recently. The Metallic Eye Shadows go on smoothly and do not clump in creases. They are shimmery and colorful. Both the Bronzed Pink and Penny are great for all over coverage. The Rock Eye Shadow is an amazing matte color for your lower lid. You could even be daring and line your eyes with this lovely gray color. The great thing about her eye shadows is that you can take them and put them all in on of her pan palettes for easy access and storage.

Laura Geller - Baked Marble Eyeshadow

Laura Geller Baked Marble Eyeshadow
Blue Heaven

It truly is heavenly! I have medium brown eyes, dark lashes and brows. Following the ever-changing, oft-debated rule of opposites eye color to eye shadow, I took Blue Heaven out for a test drive today. Since I work in a professional office, I used a light hand. It's a nice wash of color, that doesn't look too blue. The dark graphite base grounds it, so I avoid the dreaded Maybelline Blue look of the 80's. I paired it with a black cardigan and dark jeans with black and blue applique. The eyeshadow rocks out my look quite nicely. This would be great at night, applied with more intensity. The shadow also is pairing well with my Smashbox Cream Eyeliner in Lava.

Urban Decay Matte Eyeshadow

Urban Decay
Matte Eyeshadow
Secret Service

Once again Urban Decay has sold me on their product. This pigment rich eye shadow is great. It comes in a neat little subway token compact with a snap shut lid. The Secret Service color is a nice dark brown shade. I have actually used it as an eye shadow and eye liner, but I have not tried it wet. This little product has made its way into my every day routine. I can't wait to go out and buy a few more colors.

Catherine's Review:
I'm also a UD convert. I tried the Matte Shadow in Chronic - a fresh, light green color. Beautiful on my brown eyes as a shadow, want to try as a liner. A great shade for Spring (and those, like me, with Spring Fever!). Easily adjustable from sheer to full coverage.

88-Metallic Rose & 82-Frosty Seashell

Let me start out by saying that I have been using this product every day since I have tested it. I LOVE the Frosty Seashell color. It is a light neutral highlighting shade that works great with my coloring. It actually goes well with the Mary Kay Highlighting Pencil that I have (to be reviewed at a later date). These colors come in a single, round case with a crazy curved applicator. At first, using the applicator was a little awkward. However, I soon realized that it is curved perfectly to apply under your eyebrows. I only wish that it could be curved at one end and straight at the other, because holding it can be a little challenging at times. I actually tried the Metallic Rose wet and dry. Wet, you are going to get a richer more flat color. Dry appears more "gleaming" and obviously not as intense. Both of these are easily everyday wearable colors.

Baked, Smog, and Yeyo

Nicole:
Baked, Smog, and Yeyo are the 3 colors of Loose Pigment that I was able to try. Baked is a shimmery "solid gold" color, Smog is a deep shiny brown, and Yeyo is light shimmery white. The spill proof tube definitely prevents cracking and spilling if you drop it. (Don't you hate when that happens? I do!) The only thing is that I am not sure about the brush attached to the tube. I felt like I got it all over the first time I used it. There was glitter everywhere. The best way to approach it is to either use the brush to get it on your eyelid and then spread with another brush, or try to remove as much as you can from the brush and apply lightly and evenly to your eyelid. As far as the colors go, they are great. Baked is more of a night time "going out" color, Smog can be used as an every day color, and the Yeyo is a nice highlighting color. Overall, once you get the hang of application, these are great little compact colors that can be taken anywhere.

From Eleasha:
the colors are nice and I like the quality of the shadow, but I hate the brush. It is too hard and it makes the application of the shadow very difficult and messy, especially since it is loose eye shadow. There needs to be a spongier type brush, not something with bristles.
