pop beauty day 2

Again I used Sara's Green Cabinet from Pop Beauty. I was much disappointed with the shadow outcome, so after using the Eye Magnet Primer, I used Revlon's Cream Shadow [a pink color] and then applied the shadows from the cabinet.


The shadows came out a little bit more vibrant. The cute pink color did not look as nice on my lids as it did on my arm swatch boo-hoo. I used one of the sparkly browns on the outter-v and the black in the crease and the same cream highlight. Again...I could totally live without these shadows. I only like a few from the box...
The gloss is amazing and the blush as well. I would actually dish out money for those products next time. Again...I did my makeup around 2p.m, went to work till 8p.m., and took the picture around 10p.m. Even with a cream base over the primer, the shadows did not budge!! YAY!! So no creasing for this product.

A full size for this product is $18.00. I don't know about forking out that much when I don't even have a full size of UDPP..

This little baby has 0.08 oz while UDPP has 0.34 oz. You tell me what's the better buy. Plus...this thing STINKS! For the same quality, get UDPP; you get the better price and more product.

Any questions?? Throw them to me and I will answer them as best I can :]

pop beauty day 1

From my recent haul of Pop Beauty, I was able to try out the cabinet for the past couple of days. I also used the Eye Magnet Primer with the shadows. This whole look is just with Sara's Green Cabinet.

I was going to use the beautiful sparkly green shadow, but as I attempted to grab more product, the green sparkly shadow began to disappear, and I was left with a whole lot of this:


Where did the sparkly shadow go?!?! Now it's like...an ugly brown that has no color on my lids whatsoever. Ew.

My look ended up looking like a matte brown on the lid with purple in the outter-v and black sparkly shadow on the crease. I used the sparkly cream as a highlight.


I really like the consistency of the gloss from the cabinet. I had to use my own lip brush, but as I dipped it in...it is somewhat goopy. I have other glosses where I have to swirl for a while to get a lot of product, but that doesn't seem to be the case for Pop Beauty.


I really like the gloss and the blush from the cabinet though!! The blush is so pigmented, but the only bad thing is that when dipping the brush, the product does get everywhere...boo...

The Eye Magnet Primer does a great job of not budging!! After a long day at work here's what it looks like:

No creases yay!
However...it dulls out the colors quite a bit...so in my next look I will use a cream base to bring out the shadows. Let's see if anything budges at the end of the day.

So far I'm liking the gloss and the blush. The eye shadows...I would have to pass on those for now.

What I got from beautycrunch.com since they were having a blow out Pop Beauty sale. I read reviews from makeupalley.com and got a few of the items that were the better items. *Some of the items do not have full descriptions because they are no longer available on beautycrunch.com so I will my best to describe the items.

Swatches:

These pictures do the swatches no justice. In person the colors are very pigmented and smooth. I was very surprised since I got all of these items fairly cheap. The beauty cabinet cost $13.30, the ribbon gloss $5.25, the blush $6.30, the lip smoothie $4.20, and the eye magnet primer deluxe sample was free since I purchased more than $25.00 worth of merchandise.

The top four on the right are the blushes. The gloss is on the top left.

Eye Magnet Primer It says: Stay true to your POP color with this eye shade base. Works like a magnet by holding your shadow in place. It creates a perfect airbrushed canvas, no fading, creasing, or rubbing off. It primes & conceals, diffuses fine lines, super-long lasting, intensifies colors, treats with Vitamin E, and soothing chamomile.

I smelled it and it has a weird smell to it...the other products smell normal though. Beautycrunch.com cost an arm and a leg to ship ($7.95) BUT it did ship very fast. I think I ordered it late Wednesday night and it arrived Friday. They package their products very well.

Aside from the shipping price, I wouldn't mind ordering from them again since it got here so quickly. I will let you ladies know the verdict on the products. Don't they look fun to play with though?!
