Jane Cream Eyeshadow Polished Pewter - Swatch and Review

I was hesitant to try this cream eyeshadow yet curious at the same time. They are available in 12 shades and claim to be smudge-proof, crease-proof, and long-wearing.


Packaging

• It comes in a clear plastic tube with a doe foot applicator.
• .14 oz or 4 g

Product

• Polished Pewter is a very shimmery silvery light brown. 
• It has a decent pigmentation but it dries to a frosty finish. The color sets pretty quickly so you want to work quickly as well so that you don't end up with a blotchy application. I normally use my finger to pat and blend the color to my lid.
• I wore it for 8 hours without a primer and didn't notice any creasing but some minimal fading.

Final Thought

I wished it was a little less frosty. Overall, it lasted through most of the day without creasing and the fading was minimal so I think it's worth a try if you are interested.

Jane Liquid Eyeliner Graphite - Swatch and Review

This is my first try at Jane Cosmetics and they recently launched at my local Ulta. My overall initial impression when I saw the display was that the packaging and range of colors are certainly appealing. I was particularly attracted to their blushes but when I saw the price, I had to think twice.
I didn't realize that Jane actually has 13 shades available for their liquid eyeliners. Not only that but they also have matte, shimmer, and pearl finishes. The sad thing is it would have been helpful if the finish was also listed on the packaging.


Packaging

• Your typical liquid eyeliner packaging with a thin brush applicator. The long cap makes handling easier and the brush has just the right length and flexibility to create perfect thin sharp lines. 
• .1 oz or 3 ml

Product

• Graphite is an interesting and pretty color. It's a shimmery light grey with pink and teal shimmers. They are hardly noticeable once you wear it on the eyes, which is a bit sad. 
• The pigmentation was lacking, you will need to do 2 or 3 layers in order to get a decent color pay off. That's probably my only disappointment about this product. It does dries fairly quick upon application. 
• It last all day without smudging, transferring, flaking, or fading until I take it off. 
• It claims to be water-resistant and I'm happy to report that it is true. This liner is not going to disappear easily if you get a little teary. 

Final Thought

It has a nice brush applicator and great lasting power. Unfortunately, it felt short in terms of pigmentation. Price is leaning more on the higher scale for a brand that is comparable to other drugstore makeup.

Ulta Haul

Yep another haul. It's funny how I don't have time to mess with makeup yet I still can't stop shopping for it.

I've been extremely busy and I can safely admit that I've not been procrastinating but burned out instead so I hope you don't mind if not giving you a lot of details but as always if or when it gets to be reviewed, I will be as thorough as can be.

Surprisingly, I didn't really find many things that I wanted or needed to buy.

If you weren't already aware of it, Jane cosmetics is now available at Ulta. As far as I'm concerned, it is probably the only store in my area that sell this line. They were on BOGO 50% off so I got a cream eyeshadow and liquid eyeliner.

I've been curious about this spot acne treatment. My daughter still has some occasional break outs so we decided to give the Mario Badescu drying lotion a try. Lucky for me, my skin has been behaving lately but who knows the next time one is going to pop out. I'll be armed and ready.

Do I really need another set of lashes...probably not but my daughter felt like she needed this. I asked why did you get this and she replied "well it says it glows in the dark so I thought that was cool"...Ohhhh ok!! I tried to see if it really works and it does but the glow is pretty weak so it doesn't seem to do much good.
