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 ...

  • January 31, 2009 – I'm currently using a mix of products to brighten up my face in the morning. I started with a bit of facial moisturizer. Once that set in, I dabbed on some Simply Ageless Colour Corrector mostly under the eyes. I then dusted on my Laura Mercier Mineral Pressed Powder - which is great. (Mineral powder does need to be blended in well, so double check over ridges and hollows in the face since mineral powder can look streaky here.) I swept on my fave blush: MAC Cream Blush in So Sweet, So Easy. I took two colours from my NARS Essential Eye Palette, Nepal and Ondine, and smoked it up from the lashline. I finished with two coats of my Max Factor Mascara.

The People Love ...

  • … Cake Beauty Milk Made Smoothing Hand and Cuticle Butter. This at-home spa like treatment was a hit at the last beauty board and everyone claimed that it did leave their hands super soft and silky. A little messy to use - yes - but the end result was totally worth it. Available now at the BlushPretty e-boutique!

My Brides are Wearing ...

  • … the Taylor Swift side chignon This has been the most popular and most requested hairstyle. In many variations, this particular soft updo looks great on all face shapes and with all styles of wedding dress. The best way to dress this up: with a floral hairpiece. Tucked right into the chignon, its a classic and pretty touch!

Did you know ...

  • … that you can apply your cream blush with a powder brush instead? And you don't have to smile when you apply it either? I got to meet with Greg Wencel last month and he showed me a great new way to apply cream blush. Swirl your brush over your cream colour and then dust it on in a circular motion over the cheekbones. This results in a nicely diffused wash of colour - very natural. It gradually fades the colour towards the temples too. As for the not smiling, while its great for getting the"apples of your cheek - be careful! Once you stop smiling, your cheeks drop a bit which means so will the colour - you might end up with blush that's applied to far down the face!

Have you tried ...

  • ... Butter London Nail Polishes? They pride themselves on their 3-Free Nail polishes. 3-Free stands for "No Formaldehyde, No toluene, and No DBP (Phthales)". Ever. This nail polish brand is all fashion and rock and roll with so many hot colours from Yummy Mummy to Fash Pack to La Moss. By the way ... Butter London will be available at The Blush Boutique in late February!

I Just Can't Live Without My ...

  • ... MAC Blush in So Sweet, So Easy. In the pot, it's a really, REALLY, bright pink. Just like candy. But when I sweep it on, it becomes this nice, soft and flirty blush. It's the perfect pink for my skintone. I swish this colour around from the apples of the cheeks up to the temples. I wear it alone most of the time, but when I have an extra 30 seconds, I also use it over a bit of bronzer. This is currently my go-to blush for the winter and definitely for spring ... and then maybe even summer ...

And I Just Bought ...

  • ... NARS Powder Foundations . I actually didn't "buy" these! I received seven colours of this great powder foundation from a former bride/now yoga friend (thank you ms. marcelo-domingo). It's a lightweight formula providing flexible coverage and SPF 12 protection. It covers imperfections without looking cakey! I'm really excited to use this on my brides. A light layer will set the face nicely.

Scene & Heard

  • "I really believe that so much of how we look is a reflection of how we feel. When I see pictures of my grandmother when she was 40, I think, Wow, she looked old! And that's because she believed she was old; its shows in the way she dressed and behaved. The one thing to remember is that regardless of your age, you should never turn away from sexuality. And that's no Bull___."

    Demi Moore's answer to her discovery of the fountain of youth from Beauty Talk in InStyle Magazine, January 2010.
