Today is St. Patrick’s day, a Christian feast day as well as a cultural celebration for Ireland. As part of tradition, people wear green clothing, costumes, and accessories on his feast day. See how things turn green on St. Patrick’s day. I decided to do a quick review and demo of the Max Factor Hypnotic Jade Eyeshadow and Revlon Colorstay 2 in 1 Angled Kajal in Evergreen.
In case you’re wondering why people wear
green on St. Patrick’s day, this may have started because St. Patrick used a
shamrock (a plant with three leaves) to describe the Holy Trinity.

Factor Smokey Eye Matte Drama Kit Hypnotic Jade Review
The Max Factor Hypnotic Jade is an
all-matte eyeshadow palette with four shades. There’s a cream color for
highlighting your eyebrows, which you can also use a base for your lid if you
have fair skin, a light green shade, an emerald green color, plus a dark brown shade to create a smokey effect. You can use this wet or dry. The dark brown shade in
the palette can be used to fill your eyebrows. The palette comes with a foam applicator.
Pigmentation/Color
pay-off: I would say the pigmentation is light to
medium when used dry, and medium when you apply it with a wet brush. You can’t
go wrong with application if you’re new to makeup because the pigmentation isn’t
heavy.
Texture: I love how this feels buttery soft. My eyeshadow brush had no problems
picking up the product from the pan. I did not experience eyeshadow fallout
from using this palette.
Finish: Matte
Should
you buy this?
YES,
if:
- You want to try other eyeshadow colors other than your neutral brown or taupe palette.
- You want to add color to your eyes, without looking tacky! You can use this daily if you just want to add a slight pop of color to your eyes.
- You have brown or hazel eyes. The contrast will make your eyes stand out!
- You want to add another eye palette to your collection without spending a lot of money.

Colorstay 2 in 1 Angled Kajal in Evergreen Review
The Revlon Colorstay 2 in 1 Angled Kajal in Evergreen is a new waterproof eyeliner from
Revlon, and possibly one of softest eyeliners I’ve tried to date! This liner
comes with a brush on one end of the pencil for smudging. This is a twist type,
which means you don’t have to sharpen each time you use it.
Quick tip: When you use this eyeliner,
twist the product up to only 1/8 of an inch. Apply with a light hand. This is
so soft, which can make it prone to breakage. I broke mine, sadly! L
Pigmentation/Color
pay-off: This eyeliner delivers a solid emerald
green color. You don’t need to swipe it repeatedly to make the color appear. I
guarantee, it will appear on your lashline with just one swipe. You can use
this on your waterline, too.
Texture:
This is soft, as in softer than crayons. This is
not a bad thing especially if you have dry eyelids.
Application:
The application is smooth (no tugging!), so this lessens the gaps
that you see when you apply drier eye pencils. This is also great for smudging.
Finish: Matte
Is it really waterproof? Yes, it is. Running water isn’t enough to remove it. See pic below. I tried washing it off with soap. Some of it came off with persistent scrubbing, but still isn’t enough to remove it completely. You certainly don’t want to scrub your eyes if you want to remove this product. You need to use a make-up remover, preferably an oil-based one. See the pic:

Should
you buy this?
YES,
if:
- You’re bored of the usual black or brown.
- You want to quickly upgrade your look without learning elaborate makeup tricks.
- You want to add a new eyeliner to your collection without breaking the bank!
Here’s a clean, fresh but fun look I
created using a the green eyeshadow from Max Factor and emerald eyeliner from
Revlon:
How to get this look:
1. Apply a concealer or an eye primer to
prepare your eyelids for the eyeshadow application. This will help your makeup
stay longer and it will also make sure that the color shows up on your eyelids.
2. Apply the light green shadow all over
your eyelids and just above your crease without reaching your eyebrows.
3. Apply the dark green shadow to the outer
corners of your eyelids in circular motions and spread halfway across the
crease and your eyelids.
4. Line your upper lash line with the dark
brown shade.
5. With your eyeliner, draw a thin line on
your upper lash line. If you want to lift and open up your eyes further, extend
the line above the outer corner of your eyes until it touches the bony part of
your eyes. The end point of your upper eyeliner should be parallel to the end
point of your eyebrows.
6. Line outer 1/4 of your lower outer lash line with the brown eyeshadow.
6. Line outer 1/4 of your lower outer lash line with the brown eyeshadow.
For a more intense color, repeat the steps
above but apply a thicker coat of eyeliner and wet your brush or eyeshadow
applicator with each application. Line your lower lashline with the brown eyeshadow and 1/4 of your lower outer lashline with the Evergreen kajal eyeliner from Revlon.
