Upcoming Review: ColorMates

While checking what posts were getting the most views I saw that the ones related to the ColorMates brushes and nail polishes seemed very popular, so I have decided to make ColorMates my next series of reviews focused around a single brand. Some of the products have already been opened and used a few times while others are still sealed in their packaging.

Due to the length of time it tends to take me to review things I am not going to attempt to review everything as the bulk of what I have is eye shadow and those take the longest to review for me, but I will try to review at least one of things from the three different types of eye shadow palettes that I have in order to give an impression of what that eye shadow is like in each format. The two lip sticks will also be reviewed.

Wrap-up Review: Madame Milly

Since there were so many pieces to this brand being reviewed over several months of time I thought a wrap-up was in order. Madame Milly does not appear to be available at Kohl's anymore, but does appear to be available on Amazon.com.

This review took longer to complete because my tube of e.l.f. eye primer cracked the lid and now doesn't seal properly.  A new tube has been purchased and was used to retest the lighter eye shadow to make sure it got a fair assessment.

Review: Madame Milly Eye Shadow Duo #1

The kit this eyeshadow duo is from was purchased for me by my husband a few months ago.  I am not sure if the same kit is still available; this series of reviews is intended to help with deciding whether future purchases from this brand is worthwhile.

Eyeshadow Review Form

Eyeshadow Brand: Eyeshadow #, Name (if available)

Applied At: What time I put the eyeshadow on.

Cost: (Without any discounts) If I have the actual amount paid that will be given, without discounts is what it would have cost if it hadn't been bought on sale.  Almost all of my makeup was bought on sale or on clearance.

Shimmer: Yes/No If it has shimmer in it this will say yes, otherwise this say no.

Swatch Pictures:

Picture(s) of the eyeshadow on my arm, with an without primer and as applied with finger and with brush.

Crease time without primer: 

I check my eyeshadow ever 30 minutes, + or - a few minutes since I do not use a timer, but it shouldn't go over an hour as reviews are only done on days when I have absolutely nothing else which can be done (meaning my husband isn't home.)  As soon as I notice a line forming in the crease, I note how long it has been in hours/minutes and will list that here.

Upcoming Review: Three Madame Milly Kits

The following makeup was purchased from Kolh's a while ago and I was just realizing I had never used it other than three of the smaller lip glosses which I liked enough to use up.  When I looked around to see if there were any reviews of this brand I realized that most of the ones given where very short and not very detailed as to why the person didn't like the makeup (there was very little positive said about any of it); this is part of what inspired the creation of this blog.
