Revlon Eyes

One of my first make-up brand loves was Revlon, when I discovered their ColorStay foundation. One of my favorite things to work with when it comes to make-up is any/all eye make-up, as I have eyes that can either pop or be non-existent, depending on my eye make-up. So when i had the opportunity to try a bundle of Revlon's eye make-up, i was all in!

The bundle included Revlon ColorStay™ 2-in-1 Angled Kajal Eyeliner, Revlon ColorStay™ Crème Eye Shadow, Revlon ColorStay™ Brow Crayon, Revlon ColorStay™ Brow Pencil, and Revlon Super Length Mascara. It was a pretty sweet score to try. Now I'll be blunt in saying I don't typically do anything to my brow. Never have. But I did like the brush on the end of the brown pencil - it help with the shaping and smoothing of those 'fresh out of bed' brows. And the crayon I found doubled as a eye shadow - perfectly neutral! And while I did momentarily try both 'as they were meant to be used', my light skin/hair combo didn't pair well with them, IMO. So that's really all I have to say on those two.

the actual eye shadow I had high hopes for, and I hate to say I was quite disappointed in. The brush was built into the lid, for use, and I found it quickly became clumped up with the crème shadow. And when putting it on, it didn't seem to blend to well. At least not for me - I will say that I feel I have oily lids and often have problems with eye shadows and liners, despite what I try to do. But some of the issues I felt I had didn't seem to come from that. One of the reasons I 'discovered' the brow crayon could be used as an eye shadow.

I wasn't to excited about the mascara, and I am a mascara freak! It's the one make-up product I don't feel like I can ever leave the house without. That said, I also always feel the need for waterproof, or at the very least, smudge-proof mascara. While the Super Length Mascara looked good for awhile on me, I don't feel like it held it own for the entire day. It wasn't bad, just didn't breach my top 5 mascaras I might grab on a regular basis.

Finally, the Angled Kajal Eyeliner. This was my favorite of the bunch. I love how easy the angle made it to apply, and the crayon like texture glided on - something I've come to love and look for with eyeliners. AS far as the staying power, it lasted as long as other 'long wear' eyeliners I've tried that, due to my oily lids, isn't all day. But it's a good portion of the day, and as it smudges away, it almost blended into a shadow onto my lid first. Weird, but it worked, and wasn't as awkward as the splotchy disappearing act some eyeliners tend to have.

So all in all, wasn't the best experience for me this go around. On the one hand, these are easy to find items that, for the price, could be an easy go to. But there's definitely better out there - you might have to pay for it, though. Personally, I might buy the eyeliner and mascara again. The eye shadow was a big 'no' for me, and both brow items are, as well, simply because I don't do my brows. But they might be awesome for someone who does, because they did work well for the initial testing I did, just to see how it worked. And they, at least, seemed to have alternative uses.
