EOTD: amethyst, lilac and violet ..emerald, apple, lime, mint and olive

My look for today was actually done a few days ago. I was sitting there wondering which eyeshadow colour I wanted to wear for the day and as I looked through all the shadows that I own, I was really drawn to this super green shadow.(You can see it in the outer corner of my eye.) So after I chose that colour I wanted to combine it with another colour. And I saw the wonderful deep purple from Dior that I loved. And then I saw this 'lime' green from Stila and voila..Check out what I came up with in less then 10 minutes...



Care to know what I used?


>> Skin Care: Vichy Normaderm gel cleanser, Vichy Aqualia Antiox eye creamLa Roche Posay Effaclar Duo face cream.
>> Eyes: Coverfx eyeprep lid primer, Revlon cream eyeshadow palette in Black Magic(matte white used)

ProduCt.ReViEw.- CoverFX.EyeprepFX.

CoverFX Eyeprep FX - anti aging smoothing primer

 An innovative cosmeceutical eye smoothing formula with clinically proven anti aging benefits. It is a silicone free, light weight primer to be worn alone or under eye makeup.  
What it does: 
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... It helps to bind concealer and eye shadows to the eye lids an eye area for an even, colour true and long lasting wear.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ...It instantly soothes, hydrates and helps reduce under eye puffiness.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ...Istrengthens the eye dermal structure to hydrate, firm and rejuvenate.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ...It increase circulation to lighten dark under eye circles.



Haloxyl ~ How Haloxyl works is by literally loosening the blood fragments which populate under the skin in the eye area. Loose particles like these are actually small fragments of blood that leak out from capillaries. These are the exact cause of dark circles under the eyes. When an eye serum uses Haloxyl at the right concentration, it works to flush out that pigmented blood with each application.
Eyeliss ~ Eyeliss is an ingredient that works to treat the puffy bags under the eyes. Under-eye bags are causd due to the fluid that passes through your capillary walls as well as lymphatic drainage. Lymphatic drainage promotes a healthy lymphatic system.
Aqua, Glycerin, Diethylhexyl Carbonate, Squalane, Acrylates Copolymer, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Behenyl Alcohol,  Glyceryl Stearate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Acrylic Acid/VP Crosspolymer.Phenoxyethanol, Triethanolamine, Capryly Glycol, Cetyl Alcohol, Lauryl Alcohol, Lecithin, Myristyl Alcohol, Steareth-20, Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone, PVP/Polycarbamyl Polyglycol Ester, Hydrolyzed Sesame Protein PG-Propyl, Methylsilanediol, N-Hydroxysuccinimide, Dipeptide-2, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Chrysin, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide

 I like this primer because you can use it as an eye cream, either day or night. I also like it because you can use it under the eye area under concealer to help prevent creasing and also make it so you don't have to use as much concealer. 

 Has no immediate colour correcting benefits. 

I received a full size as a trial and I definitely will purchase this one again. For the size, quality and functionality, it is definitely worth every penny!
  
$43CAD/20ml(0.67 fl.oz) (holy! this is larger then an eye cream)

ProduCt.ReViEw. -CliniQue.aLL.About.eyeS.Eye.CreaM.

Sorry no swatch as I used it all up and forgot that I would want to do a review
The product: Clinique all about eyes eye cream
Claim to fame: "Diminishes the appearance of eye puffs, darkness, fine lines. Lightweight, non-creep, cream/gel formula actually helps hold eye makeup in place. For use morning and night, under eyes and on the lids." Clinique

Pros: Great that you can use it on your eyes and lids. Light weight formula that glides in. Moisturizes great.
Cons: Used a whole jar up and didn't find that my dark circles were changed much, which was quite disappointing. Even though it moisturizes great, so do many other products. Didn't like the jar packaging as it is quite unsanitary to dip your fingers in each time.
The bottom line: I really wanted to like this product but I was quite disappointed on its claims. It is an okay eye cream, but nothing special. I was actually going to buy the larger size when I got it, kinda happy I didn't.
Price: $37 CAD
Rating: 3.5/5
