Initially, this month's box was a bit of a disappointment. The first thing I opened was a European hand and body lotion, which smelled so strongly of perfume that I nearly gagged. It promptly got tossed in the trash! Then I noticed this eyeliner, which looked nearly full sized (bonus!) but it was a bright green. Hmmmm, I thought... Not really my style. The other items ranged from some hair repair oil, to a cucumber face wash (that smelled FANTASTIC and felt great, but the sample was a one time use deal) to a skin and lip ointment creme. Skin ointment?! What the heck? (It's actually come in quite handy and I'll be the first to say that my initial impression of it was wrong)
Inika eyeliner in Green Lagoon |
Can I quickly note that I decided to play beauty salon shortly before I headed over to the Texas DMV to get my license updated with my married last name? Down here they take a new photo for every I.D. issued, so... That was a dumb risk to take!
Anyhow, I paired the "Green Lagoon" color of Inika eyeliner with some Mary Kay shadows (they have the BEST colors!), inner-eye illuminator, and black mascara. Drum roll, please...!!! (While I might regret this decision after publishing this post, no photoshop or filters were used to edit these shots so that you can see the color true-to-shade on my skin tone. Do beauty bloggers edit their photos?! I dunno; thus the very few beauty/product review posts from me!)

If you click the link for the eyeliner, you'll see that Inika offers a number of colors of this product. So, if you have blue, brown, green, or a different shade of hazel than my eyes, you'll be able to find something to make your eyes pop too! It comes with a sharpener in the lid, and I always appreciate clever packaging.
Superbly written article, if only all bloggers offered the same content as you, the internet would be a far better place..

Nice stuff dear. I like your post wall protection & carved panels
ReplyDeleteAwesome points such a beauty-full post, thanks for sharing this post.
ReplyDeleteLoved reading your beauty salon adventure! Trying out bold colors like the Inika 'Green Lagoon' can feel risky, but it looks like it paid off—your eyes really do pop! I totally get the excitement of experimenting with new products without stepping into a store. For me, it's the same thrill I get when exploring new luxury perfumes from perfume stores in Dubai—discovering scents that add just the right touch of elegance. Beauty is all about taking fun risks!
