Cover Girl gets my attention.

I was invited to a webcast from CoverGirl, to view the latest gotta have, gotta do summer looks. I was so excited. First off, I don’t think I’ve ever actually ‘seen’ a webcast… specially an exclusive, invite only one. CoverGirl’s makeup artist showed on 3 models, step by step looks to try with their new Eye Enhancers eye shadow.

The next day, I got said Eye Enhancers in my mailbox. So try I did.

First off, let me just say that CoverGirl really hasn’t been on my radar since say, high school? Not that anything’s wrong with it, but I never really took much notice of it and always thought of it as a teeny bopper line. And that I’m so not. (Well, maybe in spirit…)

At first glance, the Eye Enhancers shadows are bright, bold, vibrant. Very similar to Hip’s colorful line. Groan. As in vibrant bright blue, teal, fuschia…. in singles, trio and quartet shadow palettes. Like I’m going to walk around the streets of Manhattan with peacock blue eyes. Nope. So not me.

But the webcast made me think different. After seeing the oh so pretty looks I just had to play. Boy am I glad I did.

LIke this one in Caribbean Eyes.…

Bright greens, blues on the eyes. Pretty no?
Okay, maybe I’m not as adventurous, but I tried their 4 pan palette in #223/Dynamic Drama. As part of their Blast Collection, you get loads of colors to choose from. This one is actually kinda tame. A beautiful shimmering plum, shimmer gold, a shimmer off white and a shimmer lime green. The lime green actually got me interested.
So apply I do, lime green on the lids, the off white on the bone, the beautiful plum on top of black liner on the top lashes. i never got so many compliments in one day. And the best part? After literally a whole day working away, about 6 hours later? I look and all shadow is still there, perfectly in place as if I just applied it. No creasing, no fading. Nothing. I kid you not.
I may be all grown up now. And I’m sure glad CoverGirl has too. I think we might just be BFF.

  1. Hi,

    Very nice beauty blog you have here. Found your blog after searching information for makeup reviews. Thanks for the great information!

    My name is Irene and I’m involved in an online beauty community website called http://www.ColorMeGorgeous.com. I was hoping that you would have a minute to check out the site and perhaps if you liked what you saw… write about it on your blog?

    I may be going out on a limb by asking you for promotional help through your blog, but I hope you find ColorMeGorgeous.com to be as news worthy/helpful as I perceive it to be. There’s still a lot of work to be done with it, but I’m working on it. It’s hard to compete when you’re a small fish in a huge sea with huge sites like MUA and the likes, but I do what I can :) My favorite part of the site is the ‘critic’s corner’ where members can review or read up on various product reviews for makeup and skincare. Then there’s always the forum, the photo gallery, the ask a makeup artist page, etc.

    Thanks for your time :)

    Best,
    Irene
