Jane Cosmetics Eyeshadows

I picked these up on one of my trips to Ulta. I love that Jane Cosmetics has come back. I used to wear their makeup all the time, I loved it. So when I seen they were back I had to grab a couple things to try them out and see if they were just like they used to be.

I just grabbed a couple eye shadows because I just couldn't decide what to all get and I couldn't afford to get everything I wanted. So I guess I will have to just aquire everything I want in multiple shopping trips, lol.

These shadows are Rosy Posy and Passionflower. I will describe Rosy Posy the best I can, it's just like the name says, rosy. I think this is a beautiful dusty rose pink. Passionflower I can describe as kind of a beautiful eggplant color.

As you can see in the swatches on the back of my hand that Rosy Posy is a nice lighter shade of rosy pink and the Passionflower is a deeper eggplant leaning towards brown. They both have a shimmer to them but they are nicely pigmented so you get great coverage when applying. They are smooth and velvety so there's no dragging when you are applying. There also isn't much fall-out (you know, when your shadow dust falls on your cheekbones and such so you have to clean that up) so you don't really have much cleanup at all.

When I wear these, I wear them together. I put Rosy Posy on the lid all the way up to the crease. Then I apply Passionflower in the crease for depth. Then I blend lightly up to the brow. I suppose I could add a highlight shade to the brow bone but I don't ever feel that it's necessary with these. I'm always happy with these two together. I wear these quite often and I even feel that their staying power is pretty good. There is some fading into the crease but that is usually noticed after I've gotten home from work. I've even gone out in the evening after having these on all day and didn't feel the need to do a touch-up.

Overall I'm really pleased with these and I'm looking forward to trying out more of the Jane Cosmetics products!

Jane Cosmetics are available at Ulta or you can check out their site here. These Shimmer Eye Shadows retail for $6 at Ulta, which is where I picked mine up from.

Zoya Payton

I have another beauty I picked up on one of my trips to Ulta. This is Zoya's Payton from their Winter Zenith Collection. I remember when Zoya came out with the first holographic polishes, Aurora, Blaze, and Storm and they were gorgeous so I was excited when they released 2 more.

Payton is described as a full coverage cranberry with scattered holographic glitter but I describe it as a beautiful deep plum with scattered holographic glitter. The base is a bit like a jelly so it's a little sheer on the first coat. The formula on this one was the same as the other holographic polishes, a little thicker than their usual formula but it's still workable. If you feel it's too thick for you, you can always add a drop of polish thinner to thin it out.

Shown in the pics I have applied 2 coats of Payton and added my topcoat for protection and shine. The only thing I've noticed with this one that I haven't experienced with any other Zoya polish is that after 2 days of wear I've already got tip wear on most of my nails and a very small chip on the tip of one of my nails. I am not sure if this is because of the polish or if I've been just extra hard on my nails this week with typing and work. I don't care though because I love this polish!! Dry time was about average.

I loved this one and had a hard time not staring at my nails all day long. You just have to see this in person because the pictures just do not do this holographic beauty justice!

Zoya polishes can be purchased at Ulta stores, on Zoya's site here, or in select salons. They retail for $9 for a full sized 0.5fl oz bottle
