Beauty Product Reviews

Beautful!

Ok, after being disappointed with the fairly expensive "The Good Stuff" by May Lindstrom, I am thrilled to say how happy I am with this product! I love this shadow. The formulation is wonderful, creamy, blends well and quite easily. I am loving this platinum color and it seems like it would work for ANY eye color (I happen to have green eyes). The one issue I do have though is it's lasting power. I'll put it on in the morning, and by lunchtime(?), it needs to be reapplied because much of it has somewhat disappeared. I love it enough to reapply though. Looking forward to gettIng Spice and Burnished Copper next. I read a review that said Burnished Copper looks magnificent on green eyes🙂 I'd also like to try Opal for the inner corners of the eyes. One thing I do though is, after I've applied this Platinum shadow, I also take a shinier, shimmier color (or even highlighter) and put it over the shadow just in the center of the kid. Perfection👌 Just makes the shadow (and the eyes) pop that much more. Overall, other than the lack of staying power, I really do love this shadow. I've been wearing it almost every day since I got it!

I Had High Hopes, But....

From reading the prior reviews, I was REALLY looking forward to receiving this oil! It sounded just perfectly heavenly. Unfortunately, I'm just not sold on it🙁 It's an "ok" oil.....but for the price, I was expecting to definitely be wowed by it.....because I don't typically just drop $120 on a body oil every day. The smell is very nice (although again, I wasn't really wowed by it....I mean, good ol' coconut oil smells just as good to me). The problem I have is that it soaks into my skin SO very quickly that I have to almost use 1/4 of the bottle just to cover my arms and legs. That's spending $30/day on JUST body oil! Now, maybe my skin is simply ultra dry??? Perhaps. But I've never had this same issue with other less expensive oils. So, all in all, I'm sad to say I wasn't impressed. This is the first May Lindstrom product I've tried (although I also bought the jasmine garden facial mist but haven't used it yet). I hardly EVER return anything, but for $120? I think I may have to return this, as it makes more sense to use that amount of $$$ to purchase something that I'm going to LOVE (like the TF cream eyeshadows😊)
