Paula Dorf Perfect Color in Ecstasy

Press Sample / Brandbacker

Paula Dorf is a company that I've been interested in for a while because I think they have some of the prettiest stuff and I love their packaging! 

The Paula Dorf Perfect Color is a multi-use product, it can be used on the eyes, lips and cheeks. This product is similar to Nars The Multiple but is about $7 cheaper then Nars. 

I don't know about you but I am such a sucker for multi-purpose products, if I can use it on more than one place I'm happy. It just makes makeup application go quicker.

I love that on the packaging it says "Become your own makeup artist".

As per the packaging, it's rubberized so..I'm sure you can tell that mine is a wee bit dirty and that's just from using it twice. It's more or less from dust I think then anything.. Rubberized packaging is a bit hard to keep clean because it attracts everything.

Ecstasy is a light pink with some gold shimmer in it. Thankfully when you apply this to where ever you decide to apply it, it's not crazy glitter, discoball-ish on your face. I didn't see any shimmer on my face when I applied it.

What I really like is that you can build it up to be a gorgeous pink of you can wear it sheer to just give you a kiss of pink. 

Above is what the product looks like built up on my hand..actually it wasn't super built up, just two swipes. You can tell that it is a pretty pigmented product on it's own. However as you can see in the picture below, it's not too crazy looking on the eye. That was me building it up with a brush, which didn't work at all and it was synthetic fibered...then I used a CLEAN finger and tried to pat it on and it just wasn't working. What I think is that if you do intend to wear this on your eye, wear a base color under it, whether it be a white or a color of a similar shade. I will say that with this just being over top a eye shadow primer with some brown in the crease it looked nice, it looks sloppy here BUT it did last quite a while and I didn't experience any creasing.

Here you can see the PC in Ecstasy in all of it's glory on the lips. I have to say that this is probably my favorite way to wear this product! This is such a light and perfect color for me and that is coming from someone who doesn't wear colored lip products. This went on very easy, was creamy, smooth, obviously pigmented and it lasted quite a while on the lips. 

I added this onto my cheeks because well...it's also made for putting on your cheeks! I lightly dabbed it on my cheeks and blended it out. I probably would have added more because I feel that you can't really see it in all it's magnificence. This was easy to apply on the cheeks and it actually gave me such a nice color, that I didn't feel dead looking. Now, I will also say that this is coming from a person who has worn blush like...four times in her life IF THAT. 

In the end I do think that this is a bloody fantastic multi-use product. I've definitely used it quite a few times and I'm in love with it. I actually want to own all of the colors that Paula Dorf has, they all look stunning.

Resvology Age Corrective Eye Cream

PR Sample

You're probably curious on why I keep trying/reviewing Anti-Aging products. Why not I mean? In my opinion it's never too early to take preventative measures. Plus, I have had bad allergies all of my life and my eyes get incredibly itchy and I can't help but rub my eyes. I will take all of the help I can get to not get insane wrinkles before it's my time. 

Resvology claims that this product will minimize crows feet, fine lines and wrinkles. Reinforce skins firmness and elasticity as well as deflate puffiness and brighten dark circles. 

That's a lot of claims, right? 

Ingredients: Water, Ethoxdiglycol, Isododecane, Betaine, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Unsaponifiables, Glyceryl Sterate, Behenyl Alcohol, Nylon-12, Cetearyl Alcohol, Resveratryl Acetate, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Escin, Beta-Sisosterol, Phosphatidylcholine, Hordeum Distichon (Barley) Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols, Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein, Santalum Album (Sandalwood) Extract, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Panthenyl Triacetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Phellodendrun Amurense Bark Extract, Pisum Sativum (Pea) Extract, Bambusa Vulgaris Leaf/Stem Extract, Phospholipids, Dimethicone, Linoleic Acid, Glucosamine HCI, Chrysin, N-Hydroxysuccinimide, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Photosteryl Isostearate, Ammonium Arcyloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Cetearyl Methicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Xanthum Gum, Steareth-20, Tetrasodium EDTA, Chlorphenesin, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Hexylene Glycol

My opinion:

I think this is a fantastic product! I did see a small change in the lines around my eyes as well as in my under eye area. Those came from rubbing my eyes excessively as well as my under eye area is really dry. Being sick for three weeks didn't really help the whole situation either but it is what it is. My eyes definitely take a pretty bad beating on the daily though. This product did really help my under eyes feel moisturized and not gross. From the lack of sleep I have been getting as of late I've had bags and dark circles, which is rare because I'm lucky and that never happens to me! (party time!) My dark circles were not as bad and my eyes were definitely not as puffy as they have been. The other thing that I love about this is that it doesn't burn! I've tried some other eye creams and they BURN like crazy, I am so thankful that this doesn't burn. 

I recommend this product like crazy, unfortunately it does have a pretty high price tag. It retails for $89 on Resvology.com.

As for what I received from The Pink Panel it was 2 nail polishes from Nailtini and a moisturizer. I was crazy excited about the nail polish, unfortunately regarding the moisturizer I can't use it. It's marketed towards VERY dry skin, and I have oily skin. It stinks, but hey I'm sure I can find someone who can use it!!
