If you’re a fan of Urban Decay’s Naked Eyeshadow Palette, then you will love their new Smoked Eyeshadow Palette. It includes everything you need to create the perfect Urban Decay smoky eye. This palette has a combination of neutrals, jewel tones, and dark shades; with a mix of matte and shimmer finishes.

Blinc Eyeliner is a liquid liner that does not rub off and can easily be removed with just water. This is great for those who have sensitivities to makeup removers. The black eyeliner goes on very crisp and bold. It took a while to dry because my first application was heavy, since I forgot to wipe of the excess on the rim. Once dried, it was pretty permanent and did not budge. The brush is very thin and long, I was able to work well with it. Personally, I prefer a felt tip like the L’Oreal Felt Tip Eyeliner or an actual brush. I think this eyeliner may be difficult for beginners to master, since the the brush is extremely flexible. Removal was simple, all I did was wipe it off with a tissue dipped in some warm water.

Avon SuperSHOCK Eye Liner is their new gel liner. I decided to try Metallic Teal and Burnished Copper. The colors are pretty, but not as pigmented as I hoped they would be. It goes on faint and streaky. I had to really work with the product and pack it on to achieve my line. It doesn’t look too bad once you work hard at it, but I would prefer to spend the money and get the Bobbi Brown Gel Liner instead. With Bobbi’s one swipe and you’re done!

I did like using Burnished Copper as an eyeshadow. The color looks great with my skin tone and I can definitely play it up for summer. I applied it over my Urban Decay primer, for added staying power.
