Don't Sleep on Jordana Cosmetics
So far, I've only tried their eye pencils, kohl pencils & single pot eyeshadows.
I am very impressed. The pigmentation is AMAZING! The texture of the single pot eyeshadows is satiny. Blendability is wonderful..superior to NYX single eyeshadows or trios. Hubba hubba! The most amazing thing so far about this line is it's availability @ discount stores. I was only able to find it for $1.59-$1.99. However, many of my online makeup buds have been able to find these products for $1.00! If you follow Temptailia.com, there are some swatches & reviews on there. They are comparing these shadows to MAC. (Some of their colors are touted as MAC dupes)Jordana is owned by the same company who owns Milani Cosmetics. Swatches to come soon!
Liquid Liner (Swatches)
I'm OBSESSED with creating that perfect eyeliner effect. Since I have rather hooded eyelids, it is essential that my eyeliner be applied as precisely as possible. It takes a steady hand, but with practice, anyone can do it!

Refrain from pulling the eyelid when applying this. Otherwise, you'll have a crackly looking result when you release the tension to your eyelid. Not cute.
Highly pigmented. Applicator brush thin & is flexible. Me likey! Very affordable @ $2.99 each. Try to snatch these up on a BOGO. They are Limited Edition Colors.

Coastal Scents Gel Liners
13 rich in color Gel Liners have arrived, these apply with ease using an angle liner brush. We were sure to pass out samples to several of our testers who have used these for 2 months. Application is easy, has the ability to design and be creative, lasts all day without smudging or creasing and are highly pigmented. There is so much work involved in finding a truly great gel liner, along with needing it mass produced we have finally hit on a company who can offer us both!
GET ALL 13 COLORS AS A SET AND GET A SPECIAL DEAL!
If compared to HIP gels these are a several steps above in quality, they compare to MAC as I have also used several of those over the trial period. Each Liner comes in a black box with our CS Trademark Gel Liner Logo, a round peek hole, ingredients on the back. These are packaged in a thick walled; frosty glass jar with black cap. These are 5 gram jars, due to the intensity of the liners you will only need a dab of gel to achieve your look.
Reviews so far are GREAT! I'd love to add these to my collection!
Pro: less expensive than MAC fluidline
Con: color name is not on jar, (easily fixed)
$6.95 each or $82.90 for all 13 colors. buy them @ www.coastalscents.com
