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: Pandora's Makeup Box Face Powder

Hey girls! Today I saw the Twilight parody movie Vampires Suck and I’ve got to say that the Edward in Vampires Suck was hotter than the one in Twilight. He kept my attention during the entire movie other than the actors’ makeup. So, I’ve seen that all of the vampires have this amazing flawless, matte, white skin (but Edward’s under eye concealer was creasing LOL). I am assuming it was airbrush + amazing cosmetics concealer + tons of MAC Studio Fix powder, but now you can get equally matte skin with the Pandora’s Makeup Box Face Powder. This powder comes in a range of shades for $26 (I have shade #5) which won’t seem too expensive if you’re used to buying MAC. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!


Pro(s):
-Its smooth to apply and gives wonderful matte coverage.
-Doesn’t look caked on and doesn’t make me break out.
-The packaging is adorable and great for teens too.
-I get about 8 hour wear before all the powder is worn out and my skin is oily again.


Con(s):
-It doesn’t keep you matte all day (touch-up necessary).

Overall review: Up till 2 weeks ago, I relied on my MAC Studio Fix Powder. Now I rely on my Pandora’s Makeup Box Powder. It works great for dry or oily skin, but dry skin will stay matte longer than oily skin. I think it’s greatly pigmented. Now normally, for face product I don’t venture out of my normal MAC, Hourglass, or Senna, but since this hasn’t made me break out and has done wonders on my skin, I would go ahead and purchase it again. I absolutely love the packaging and the fact that you can take the pan out and put it in your UNII or Z-Palette is great. If you're a sucker for packaging and quality, this is for you. Thanks to Alyssa for requesting this review and thanks for reading!
