Beauty Board MBP (Most Beautiful Product): COVERGIRL Exact Eyelights Collection













Eyelights It's a given ... we love eye makeup.

Give us eyeshadow, give us eyeliner, give us mascara ... we want it.  

And COVERGIRL did!  They sent the Beauty Board the complete Exact Eyelights Collection: the eyeshadow quad, the liner, the mascara ... AND they sent us the colours customized to suit each of the Beauty Boarder's eye colours.  (Luckily, we had a mix of blue-eyed, brown-eyed, hazel-eyed and green-eyed!)

When the ladies arrives at the event, the first thing we gave them was the set.  They immediately took their seats, opened (read: RIPPED apart; TORE through; DESTROYED carefully) the packaging, and started applying - on themselves or on each other!  What fun.

The great thing about this product is that its foolproof - all the shades are complimentary of one another and the combinations of colours and looks are endless.

So user-friendly and easy to use, we even had brown-eyed beauties wanting the colours for green or blue eyes as well as blue-eyed stunners curious about the colours for hazel eyes!

Definitely a fun favourite for the night!

Reviews:

LOVE the eyeshadow.  The colours are fantastic and they blend really well. LOVE THIS LINE!  I also love that the eyeshadows come with a full size brush!– Dara F.

Love the idea of contrast and complimentary colour packages.  Also love the fact that the colours are easy to use form day to night! - Meredith S.

Very neutral colours that I would use for everyday wear.  I would wear the eyeliner - nice green colour. Good to know that the mascara is contact lens friendly! – Paula V..

Will most liekly use the mascara for blue eyes, even though mine are brown!  I like that it is user friendly with the eye colour designations but that seems to stifle any beauty creativity! – Denise W.

[Eye Brightening Liner] When testing it was nice and smooth!  – Anita M..

I use this already and LOVE it.  The mascara really brightens my eyes and does not clump.  Much better than other more expensive brands - true to its claim! – Allison C.

Love that it caters to eye colour.  It really helps. - Kathy C.

I really like the colour combination!  I can't wait to get home and play. - Ayla F.

Subtle highlighting really accentuates eye colour!  – Anny S.

Eyeliner is smooth; doesn't smudge.  Eyeshadow shades look nice! – Monica D.

Easy to apply colour. – Joy K.

Loved the colours for green eyes.  Eyeliner went on smooth.  Eyeshadow made my eye colour pop! – Lindsay R.

Love the instructions provided on the back of the shadow palette.  Very excited to try the colour - it looks great, also wonderful that its suitable for contact lens wearers! - Natasha B.

The eyeshadows look very natural, but you can also play up your eyes and add a more dramatic look with the darkest shade.  The brush is very good for something that comes with the package! - Alysia I.

Love the mascara! Great consistency, non-clumping.  Copper eyeshadow is lovely! - Lisa C.

Love the sparkles in the mascara, the make my eyelashes standout.  Eyeshadow looks very nice and blends well! - Shyanna S.

I really love the mascara line.  Really makes my eyes sparkle.  The eyeshadow for brown eyes is great.  They blend well. - Lori S.

I'm excited for my colours.  It's smart to have pre-packaged colurs by eye colour for people like me! I like the diagram on the back of the package - helpful! - Alice L.

I have blue eyes and I wouldn't normally think of using blue eyeshadow, but the demos gave me some new ideas. I'm looking forward to trying it at home when I can play! - Clara J.

Mascara is nice - separates the lashes well. - Leigh C.

The eyeliner is easy to put on.  It glides on the lashline which is awesome. - Maureen P.

on this day i wore ...

  • August 31, 2010 – I wore Smashbox Photo Finish Primer under some spot concealing with Stila's Cover Up Stick in D and then a dusting of Josie Maran Powder. I filled in my brows with Benefit Cosmetics Instant Brow Pencil, using feather like strokes but then blending with the spooly-thing on the other end of the pencil. I blended some Philosophy Lit from Within cream blush over the cheeks and slicked on a bit of Rosebud Salve (the new TUBE version) on the lips. Of course, there was some mascara used as well!

my brides are wearing ...

  • … COVERGIRL LashBlast Length Mascara This mascara is great for lengthening and separating lashes, so my brides are all wearing it for a fuller, lusher looking lash line. The thin brush is perfect for really getting into the tiny areas, but also for a less clumpy application. Since this is a lengthening mascara, I tend to coat the lashes with one or two layers, and then if the bride needs it, I will top if off with a coat or two of COVERGIRLS LashBlast Luxe for volume and shine. Bride's love their lashes!

did you know ...

  • … about the tap.press.sweep. system? Forget just dotting on your moisturizer and patting it on in two seconds. Your face and skin is way more important to you than that, right? Consider nourishing and nurturing your skin by adopting a facial massage. Straight from Olay Celebrity Facialist, Anastasia Achilleos, try the tap, press, sweep system that takes only a second longer to apply your moisturizer or serum. Tap. Warm some product on the fingertips and tap the product on from forehead to decolletage to stimulate the skin. Press. Using the fingertips and a press and slide motion, press at the forehead, slide to the temples, press, slide to in the inner eye and bridge of nose, press, slide out to the jaw, press, slide to the chin, press, slide down the neck and out to the shoulders, press. This will push the product deeper and plump up fine lines. Sweep. Add a bit more product to the hands and use them in a gentle massage and sweep motion all over the face, over the neck and across the decolletage. Ta-da. You're done. This takes only a minute to do and your skin will thank you!

have you tried ...

  • ... Smashbox PhotoFinish Primers? This is truly a cult fave - an oldie but goody - a tried and true friend ... and for good reason ... it works! This silky primer makes for a great base for makeup. Just a dot or two of this spread evenly over the face allows makeup to glide easily over fine lines, pores and other imperfections. PLUS your makeup will stay on longer and the colour stays true. Tip: use this product WITHOUT makeup. If I need to hit the gym or grocery store quickly without the need to doll up, I apply Photo Finish to a clean face and after moisturizer for a polished, matte face. My skin looks totally presentable so I can avoid any "oh crap, I can't believe I saw so and so and I look like death" kinda moments. That's really important! :)

i just can't live without my ...

  • ... Kevin Murphy Maxi.Wash. Never has my hair felt so clean after a wash and so light. Back in August, I had the opportunity to have a special Kevin Murphy treatment done at Blonde Salon and instantly fell in love with the product. Since I'm only a 3 times a week washer, the Maxi.Wash gets rid of all that in between build-up in an instant. It's unbelievable. It's an all-natural, sustainable product that detoxifies the hair and purifies an oily and flaky scalp. Pair this up with the Born.Again Treatment and your hair will be healthier than ever! You can pick up Kevin Murphy products at popular salons in the Toronto area, including Blonde (Power Street) and Fuss Hair Studio (Leslieville).

and i just bought ...

  • I recently went on a lipstick rampage ... again ... anyway I picked up ... Burberry Beauty Satin Lip Cover in Heather Rose. It's like my lip colour but better. It's an everyday lipstick that looks good with anything I do - rosy cheeks, smokey eyes, heavy liner. It feels like nothing on ... nothing. It's neither drying or heavy and my lips feel soft all day. Amazing texture and a range of colours to choose from. Love the magnetic casing with the Burberry check. Totally chic. Available at Holt Renfrew on Bloor (in Toronto) for just over $30 CDN. (Definitely considering going back for a few more colours.)
