PURE PIGMENTS are ultra-fine, highly concentrated loose color powders that work to create both a soft and intense makeup look.

Completely waterproof, transfer-proof and smudge-proof, each shade will last for up to 24-hours.

Overall Assessment: If you are looking for fun makeup with the longevity to make it though your New Year's Eve festivities, these products definitely deliver.
I never got the Wunder2 Caviar Illuminator to work. I think it just stuck together. Maybe I should pull off the mesh top and try it. The JLo for Inglot items look nice. I don't need anything for brows just yet but I'm sure I will.
I have found that you do have to periodically remove the screen of the Caviar Illuminator and move them to the center. However, I think that once you have used up a lot of the products that it will be important to remove the screen altogether to get the last bits out. I like these JLO Inglot products, but would be curious to se what the other products are like. The brow product is quite nice.
Whoa, what wonderful options for New Year's Eve or holiday parties! I am in love with the two Inglot nail polishes. And the Wunder2 products look like such fun. The coral shimmer is incrediible!
The Inglot polishes are both gorgeous, and the quality is quite good, too. I agree with you about the Coral Shimmer– and it is even prettier in person!

Wow! What beautiful products! I'd use those JLo ones if I could get her glow. Those Wunder products really look appealing to me too.
ReplyDeleteI think so too, Stacie! I definitely want to try more of the JLO/Inglot products. I really like these a lot. The Wunder2 products are nice.
