Hi Ladies,
I was happy to receive the Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer in Luna and NYC HD Color Trio Eye Shadow from Influenster to review. I originally planned to compare them to a more expensive nude eyeshadow and lip gloss that I own, but the second set of pictures turned out so bad, that there would've been no contest...LOL. So, instead I'll show you how to update your daily makeup look for only $8! The NYC HD Eyeshadow is a nice set of nudes that I can see working for fair to medium skin tones and the Rimmel lip gloss is a nude with a hit of coral, so it creates a nice warm shade. PLUS, you can buy both for $8 total! Question: what are your favorite wallet-friendly makeup items?
- For the eyeshadow, I applied a primer and then swiped the lightest shadow all over my eye area. Then I used the darkest shade in the crease and the left side of the eye lid. Finally, I applied the medium color under the brow.
Pros:
- Lip Gloss: Price. Nice, warm, nude shade. Texture was satiny, not sticky.
- Eyeshadow: Price. Surprising amount of pigment for $3. Applied smoothly, and I didn't notice any streaking or fading.
Cons:
- Lip Gloss: Streaky, but this often happens to me when I use shades lighter than my natural lip color.
- Eyeshadow: The brown section of the trio was not dark enough to use in my crease, however lighter skin tones would not have this problem.

ReplyDeleteThose shades are so natural & beautiful on you. My favorite cheapie cosmetic item is actually from Rimmel as well! I love their automatic eyeliner and lipliner pencils. They go on smooth and easy and are under $5.
