Josie Maran Coconut Water Eyeshadow

Today I am reviewing the awesome coconut water eyeshadows!

My thoughts...

=)
  • Highly pigmented
  • Easy to use - can be applied with finger
  • Long Lasting
  • A little goes a long way
  • Beautiful and shimmery color selection
  • Cooling effect to lid upon application
  • Blendable - After applying a lighter shade with your finger across your entire lid to brow bone, apply a darker shade with a brush in the crease or outer edge of your eyelid.
  • Can be used as an eyeliner. With a steady hand use the doe-foot applicator for a thicker eyeliner look or put a little product on the back of your hand and use a liner brush.
=(
  • Although the colors are beautiful, it is a limited color selection. Josie, please release more colors!
  • No matte colors are available. I don't think this is a problem for me, but for those looking for matte colors, this might not be for you.
  • The product must be shaken before use to mix the coconut water and argan infused pigment
  • Price. At $18 each, it is pricey for a single eyeshadow. However, remember this product lasts a long time because you need so little!

I own these in 4 shades, Playa Del Pink, Polynesian Purple, Maui Teal (limited edition shade) and Bora Bora Bronze. See swatches in order.


Let's get a little closer because they are just so pretty!!


Playa Del Pink is my favorite and go to color. For days you are running late, which in my case is every day, you can throw just a little on with an eyeliner and you are out the door!

I love this product and hope Josie releases more colors!

This product can be purchased at the following websites:

Josie Maran Cosmetics.com
QVC

If you haven't already heard of Sephora Flash Subscription, it's awesome! For just $10 you get unlimited, FREE 2-day shipping for an entire year. No more meeting the $50 requirement for free shipping. Definitely beats driving to the mall for the product you just ran out of!

That's all for today my loves! Please comment below and share with your friends!

Be your kind of beautiful. BeYOUtiful!

Introduction

Hi Ladies and Gents!

I've always liked makeup and beauty products, but over the past year, my interest in beauty products has become a real interest and maybe a problem for my wallet! Sorry honey!!

I used to buy makeup products that I liked, but be too timid to actually wear them. Now, I'm open for anything! Purple eyeliner? Definitely! Teal eyeshadow? Sure, why not? The only place I'll draw the line is at tightlining!

It all started last year when a coworker had recommended different YouTube channels to watch. I was having foot surgery in September 2014, and YouTube makeup tutorials became one thing to get me through the very boring days of sitting on the couch and elevating my foot! Thanks Kristin for the suggestion!

I'm not sure where this blog will lead, but I thought it would be something fun to do! I buy enough products that I think I'll definitely have enough to review and talk about! I hope you will stick around to hear about the products and things I love!

Some of my favorite products include Bare Minerals, Josie Maran Cosmetics, Sephora Collection, & Paula's Choice.

If you have questions, product suggestions, product review requests or just a cute comment, please comment below!!

Be your kind of beautiful!! BeYOUtiful!
