good for nights out

I had never tried anything like this before, and was pleased with the results. The actual mascara, to me, was good but nothing special (my Sephora Atomic Volume blows it out of the water, for sure). The illuminator, though, was pretty neat and made my eyelashes sparkle. The directions say to put it on the tips of lashes for a slight sparkley effect, and on the entire lash for a more dramatic look. I did the full lash, and for some reason I kept seeing little flickers of light out of the corner of my eyes (perhaps it was the light reflecting off the sparkles). It was slightly distracting, but actually kind of funny. I found using it only on the tips of lashes is the best option, though, because it is perfect for an everyday look since it is just a subtle sparkle. I've been using it on-top of my Sephora mascara for work and it looks great!

Nice Neutral Color

The color I most recently purchased from Sephora was "Nonfat Soy Half Caff". The swatch makes it seem much darker than it actually is, though. It is much more light and neutral (pretty much the exact same color of my nail). I really like it though! The formula (as with any Sephora by OPI nail color) is pretty good, but I prefer Zoya's as far as not chipping goes. It does stay unchipped for quite a while but thick coats are needed to get the light color to show at all.
