SONIA KASHUK EYESHADOW QUAD & LIPSTICK

Welcome,

On one of my trips to Target last month I decided to pick up two items from Sonia Kashuk. One is another satin luxe lip colour, which I had also purchased back in December a stunning red from the same line. This time I opted for a nude. I also picked up a monochrome eye quad 09 called "Textured Rose". Originally I was hunting for different quads from Sonia Kashuk after watching Jennifer_Wan on YouTube speak of two, but sadly at my Target I saw no such product.

Moving on lets take a look at these goodies

Sonia Kashuk satin luxe lip colour 81- BARELY NUDE

I would  say this is more of a nutmeg nude. I really like this colour. I would say it's very similar to Mac's "Touch" lipstick. So this would be a good alternative if you don't feel like paying Mac prices. Also did I mention how amazing these lipsticks smell, I feel like I want to eat it (but that would be weird, so don't do that)

I also feel these are quite moisturizing on the lips and the come equipped with SPF16

3.4g $10

Sonia Kashuk monochrome eye quad 09- TEXTURED ROSE

This quad looked very promising in the store and I do love the look of it, but here are my complaints. Take note firstly that the colour on my ring finger and pinky are literally almost the same,

one is just slightly darker and has ultra fine pink glitter in it. The highlight colour is pretty and is very shimmery, but as with any glittery highlight it feels gritty when applied or swatched. I feel the strongest colour in this quad is the shimmer shadow on my middle finger or in the first pic at bottom left. It blends well and has the best colour payoff. All the shadows except the highlight do feel nice and soft to the touch, but I am not 100% about how I feel at this time. I would like to work with it more and maybe do an update. I feel that for the price it was not what I was expecting, but you may think its amazing. However I do like the feel of the compact and do enjoy the somewhat self closing magnetic lid. I also like that there is absolutely no smell in these shadows at all.

5.2g $14

Sometimes we often grab a product not knowing what we are heading into and by trial and error either come to love or hate a product. Some people may not be in the position to spend $14 for a small quad only to be unhappy in the grand scheme of things. That is why I am thankful for the world of blogging, because it can spare some of us out of the disappointment. It is the real people and real experiences that help us make buying choices. I know I always try to read reviews prior to making a purchase, but in this particular instance I did not, and wished I had have.

HAVE ANY OF YOU TRIED SONIA KASHUK'S COSMETICS??? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS???
