Review: Pandora's Makeup Box Eye Lid Primer


Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the Pandora’s Makeup Box eye primer. A lot of you asked me why “One Girl’s Passion for Makeup” doesn’t review enough eye primers so today I will be filling that hole. It retails for $20 on their website (link will be in the side bar). It claims to “never be too greasy for an oily eyelid and never too creamy for a dry eyelid”. It was created by a Canadian makeup artist names Susan Kirsch. She wanted to create an eco-friendly line of products that are good for the environment. Let’s see what I feel about this primer!


Pro(s):
-It’s creamy and is best for dry eyelids.
-It makes my shadow last for 8 hours.
-It doesn’t make my eye shadow crease.
-It works well as a concealer too and it comes in a removable pan.
-It provides a matte finish ad comes in an eco-friendly box.
-The packaging doesn’t make the primer dry out and its magnetized, thus self closing.


Con(s):
-It makes my eye shadow fade in 8 hours.


Overall review: I find that this product makes my oily eyelids shinier and it makes my eye shadow fade away easily. That’s why I think this best for the winter time. It is creamy enough for dry eyes in the winter. I also tried this as an under eye concealer and it actually works pretty well. It didn’t settle into my fine lines and gave a matte finish. It doesn’t look ashy when I put it on my eyelids too. In my experience, it evened out my skin tone on my eye lid and the shadow I was wearing was completely faded in 7 hours. It doesn’t crease and create creases on your eyelid.

Rating: 9.5/10

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yup, it’s a great alternative to the original UDPP.

Review: Senna Cosmetics Totally Transforming Eye shadow Primer



Hey girls! So, as many of you know, a lot of you live off of Urban Decay Primer Potion or L’Oreal De-crease Eye shadow primer and you cannot find anything better right. But today I bring to you a review for the Senna Cosmetics Totally Transforming Eye shadow Primer in Shade 1. It retails for $22 from various boutiques and sennacosmetics.com. Keep reading to know more!

Pros:
-It makes my eye shadows look brighter and they last longer when I use this.
-It just makes a bare canvas or my eyelid.
-It doesn’t look cakey.
-It covers up the discoloration of my eyelid.
-Smoothes the entire lid.
-It’s a bang for your buck.

Con(s):
-Bad pot packaging; it’s very unsanitary to dip your finger in it every time you use it.

Overall review: This is probably by far the best dupe for UDPP or L’Oreal De-crease. It makes my shadows long for about the same price as Urban Decay Primer Potion. It works really nicely with anyone almost. I have a lot of darkness on my lids and this just makes everything neutral colored. My eye shadow doesn’t crease when I use this. I once went to a wedding and my eye shadow lasted the entire day and night through the reception. I hope you enjoyed this review!

Is it VICKY approved? : Yes, I’m really thinking of getting another one.

Hey girls! Happy Monday to everyone out there! Today I’m reviewing the Senna Cosmetics Mineral Eye shadow Trio in Cloud. This trio consists of a gold shade, a medium blue shade, and a very dark navy blue. Each shade is frosted and has shimmers in it. This retails from boutiques, e-tailers, and sennacosmetics.com for $24. Keep reading for more information!

Pros:
-All colors are much pigmented.
-All shades are very smooth and creamy in texture although they are powder eye shadows.
-All the shades last for a long time.
-Packaging is very compact and easy to carry around in your bag.
-They are paraben free.

Con(s):
-A lot of fallout.



Overall review: I really love this trio. It creates a nice blue smoky look. The gold is really good as a base color and I like using it with their totally transforming eye shadow primer. You girls will really like this product. It’s better than anything. I hope you enjoy this review!

Review: Senna Cosmetics Creamline



Hi girls, today I’m reviewing the Senna Cosmetics Cream line. This is just basically a cream eye liner and retails for $18.50 from sennacosmetics.com, many boutiques and online retailers, and shopNBC.com. It’s one of their best sellers and I am very proud to be reviewing this because many people don’t know how awesome it is yet. Keep reading to know why!

Pros:
-Applies very seamlessly with an angles or fine eye liner brush,
-Very cream consistency.
-Doesn’t smudge or cake.
-Last for about the entire day.
-Doesn’t stain eye lid.
-A little bit does a long way!
-It’s much pigmented.

Con(s):
-No cons!

Overall review: I really like everything there is to like about it. It’s creamy, stays on long enough, and is much pigmented; everything a girl wants in her eye liner. It could also double up as a cream shadow too when doing smoky eyes. It stays on the longest when you use the Senna Cosmetics eye primer with it (review coming soon). I really like the products and since they are a specialty brand, it harder to find them which kind of make their products more awesome and more V.I.P. I hope you enjoyed my review!

Would I purchase it again? : Yes, if I ever finish this one!

Rating: 10/10

Packaging: 10/10 Nice and simple!

Is it VICKY approved? : Yes definitely, best for a smoky look!

Review: Mally Beauty Eye Primer



Hey girls! Today I blog again about an eye primer. Now, you would think “Oh this is something like Urban Decay Eye shadow Primer Potion”, well think again ladies. I’m reviewing the Mally Beauty Eye Primer. This isn’t your ordinary primer, but it works a lot like an eye cream. It’s a type of primer with silicone in it and it fills in the fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes. It can be purchased from many retailers and it retails for $54, but the QVC price is $35. Keep reading for more information!

Pros:
-It fills in fine lines and wrinkle around the eye area.
-It moisturizes the eye area without a greasy feel.
-It makes my concealer go on more smoothly.
-There isn’t any particular smell to this.
-It comes with a brush to apply the primer with.
-A little bit goes a long way.
-It helps my concealer last longer than usual.

Con(s):
-It might not fill in heavy lines and deep wrinkles.

Overall review: I really like this primer. I’ve never seen anything especially made for your under eye area with silicone. I would really buy this again because it really does a nice job. This helps in making my concealer stay on longer because normally my concealer starts fading in 4 hours, but this keeps it on for a full on 8 hours. It didn’t help my clients’ deep set wrinkles. I hope you enjoy this review!

Review: L'oreal De-crease Eyeshadow Primer



This is my first review and I'll have them always in pro/con and overall review format as well as packaging. Then,I'll grade the product from 1-10.

Pros: Eyeshadows do last long, but they only last for 4 hours no longer. Very thick and creamy and moiturizing for the dry eyelinds. Doesn't cake and doesn't dry out. Better than UDPP. Brings out the colors of the eyshadows.

Cons: Unsanitary wand for application, eyeshadow creases sometimes, not good for use with pigmented colors. Wears away easily, but the closest thing to UDPP right after Pandora's Makeup Box Eyeprimer.

Overall Review: I like this product a lot, but I purchase many because sometimes whenever I'm doing makeup for someone, I always use the wand on their eyelid be accident and then I have to give it to them since it has their bacteria on it.

Rating: 9.2/10

Packaging:9/10

See how easy that was, hope you like my format!
