Bodyography Spring Picks for Lips & Eyes | Review and Swatches

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

Bodyography makes very high quality cruelty-free, gluten-free and vegan makeup, and if you haven't tried any of their products– they deserve pride of place on your try-someday-list. They have some gorgeous lip liners, liquid lipstick and liquid eyeshadows to ring in the upcoming spring season, and I thought that I would share a few of my favorites.

Bodyography Lip Lava Liquid Lipstick in Exposed ($19.00 for 0.08 oz. from Bodyography): Their liquid lipsticks have a soft matte finish, highly saturated pigmentation, and many of them are very bold colors. Exposed, on the other hand, is a matte light coral nude that is quite easy to wear. It features a doe-foot applicator that effectively glides across the lips. It deposits color evenly, it doesn't feather or migrate, and it is very long-wearing. It dries down quickly, and thankfully it didn't dry out my lips. However, if you do have very dry lips, you might want to apply a thin layer of lip balm to prep your lips. This is a very long wearing formula, and when it does begin to fade, that it does so evenly leaving a nice stain behind.

According to Bodyography,

The bright, bold, ultra-soft matte and metallic finishes of our long-wearing liquid lipstick go on opaque and dry instantly. With the help of micro-absorb technology, Lip Lava Liquid Lipsticks last for hours and have 3 times more pigment than other liquid lipsticks on the market.

Features:
- Bright, bold, ultra-soft matte & metallic finishes
- Long-wear formula goes on opaque, dries instantly, & lasts for hours
- 3x more pigment than those on the market
- Micro-absorb technology makes color bulletproof
- Formulated without parabens, & gluten

Ingredients: Isododecane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Disteardimonium Hectorite, SD Alcohol 408, Synthetic Beeswax, Propylene Carbonate, VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Octyldodecanol, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Artificial Vanilla Flavor. May Contain: Iron Oxides [Dark Brown (CI 77491), Yellow (CI 77492), Black Iron Oxide (CI 77499), Red 6 (CI 15850), Blue 1 (CI 42090), Yellow 5 (CI 19140)], Mica (CI 77019), Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Tin Oxide (CI 77861), Manganese Violet (C1 77742), Benzyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Cottonseed Oil

Bodyography Lip Pencils in Barely There and Heatherberry ($14.00 for 0.04 oz. from Bodyography): I love lip liners that are creamy and emollient, that boast exceptional wear-time, and that come in an array of beautiful colors. These lip pencils glide across the lips effortlessly, deposit color evenly and they never dry out my lips. Barely There, which is described as a Beige Nude, is a very easy to wear daily shade that is perfect for many nude lipsticks. Heatherberry, which is described as a Rose/Brown Nude, is a stunning shade that pairs perfectly with a vast array of rosey and brown lipsticks, but it is also stunning on its own topped with a clear lip gloss.

According to Bodyography,

An antioxidant lip pencil that glides on like your favorite lipstick with precise, pigment-rich color to frame, fill in, and define lips. Enriched with Coconut Oil and Vitamin E.

Features:
- Durable pigments for extended wear
- Applies smoothly without dragging
- Infused with Coconut Oil & Vitamin E
- Formulated without parabens & gluten

Ingredients: Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Olus Oil, Paraffin, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Copernicia Cerifera Cera, Candelilla Cera, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Lecithin, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Oleate, Citric Acid, +/- Mica (CI 77019), +/- Silica, +/- Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), +/- Iron Oxides CI 77491, +/- CI 77499, +/- CI 77492, +/- CI 19140, +/- CI 15850, +/- CI 42090.

If you love liquid eyeshadows that offer buildable coverage, gorgeous pigmentation, and that feel weightless, then Bodyography Crystal Glide Liquid Eyeshadows ($20.00 each for 0.067 oz. from Bodyography) are worth trying. They are long-lasting, have enough sparkle for daily use, and have absolutely no fallout.

Additionally, they are user-friendly, can be worn individually or together, but if you are like me– then you probably will opt for a light wash of a single color in conjunction with some eyeliner and mascara. The doe-foot applicator is easy to use, and effective, but you can also use a brush or your finger to spread the shadow across the lid– depending upon the effect that you are seeking.

Fans of cream and liquid eyeshadows, like me, will really enjoy their high quality, stunning shades and ease of use. These beauties are infused with the most gorgeous "pure color pigments and crystal chrome pearls" that give the shadows a gorgeous shimmer that is refined and flattering– rather than over-the-top. If you have particularly oily eyelids, then you may want to use a primer, but I have found that I don't need one since the formula is long-wearing, transfer-proof and non-creasing on me.

There are 6 gorgeous shades, of which I have 4 to share with you:
- Moonstone (Nude Mauve)
- Citrine (Bright Gold)
- Garnet (Burgundy)
- Rose Quartz (Soft Pink)
- Smoky Topaz (Deep Bronze. Not shown)
- Ruby (Rose Gold. Not shown)

According to Bodyography,

Crystal Glide Liquid Eyeshadow is a weightless, yet intensely-playful, long-lasting liquid eye shadow that will saturate your lids in liquid-chrome-shine for up to 24 hours! Infused with pure color pigments and crystal chrome pearls, this innovative technology delivers vibrant, intense color for a buildable, no-feel finish.

Features:
- Cruelty-Free, Vegan, & Gluten-Free
- Infused with pure color pigments & crystal chrome pearls for intense color
- Buildable, no-feel finish
- Can be used as an eyeliner to create sultry looks
- Non-transfer base with minimal fallout—no primer necessary
- Apply in one swipe with doe foot applicator and blend in with fingers or a brush
- Available in 6 shades

Overall Assessment: If Bodyography hasn't been on your radar, it should be. Take a look around their website to see some of their gorgeous offerings.

Stila Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Kitten | Review & Swatches

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Stila Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Kitten is a perfect eyeshadow pick for summer. Described as a "shimmering vibrant nude pink"– Kitten embodies a warm day of summer. The rich color, suspended in a translucent base, offers a beautiful high-shimmer sheen, but there are no chunks of glitter, and no fallout. The formula is lightweight, buildable and long-wearing. It can be sheered-out for a light wash of color, or built up for a bolder nighttime look.

The doe foot applicator is large enough to effectively sweep across the lid, and it is very soft and flocked– making it very comfortable on the skin. It glides across the skin effortlessly, deposits color evenly and is so easy to use.

The formula itself is impressively long-wearing, transfer and crease-proof, and it doesn't flake. It is light and moist when it is first applied to the skin, but it does dry and set very quickly. I can wear it all day without a primer, but I do not have oily eyelids, therefore your wear-time may vary, and you may prefer to use a primer.

According to Stila,

A long-wearing, high-shimmer liquid eyeshadow. Glisten and gleam with Stila’s new Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow—rich, beautiful color with a high shimmer sheen, minus the glitter.

The pearl-packed translucent base offers versatile wear. Apply a sheer layer for daytime, or add layers for nighttime drama. This uniquely lightweight, water-infused texture gives a barely-there, refreshing feel and smooth color laydown. The non-tacky, non-transfer, adhesive base means minimal fallout—no primer needed.

Formulated without: Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates. Cruelty-Free.

Ingredients: Water, Mica (Ci 77019), Aluminum Calcium Sodium Silicate, Silica, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Squalane, Polysorbate 60, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Glycerin, Triethanolamine, Tin Oxide, Carbomer, Sorbitan Isostearate, Hexylene Glycol. (+/-) Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Iron Oxides (Ci 77499), Carmine (Ci 75470).

Note the gorgeous luminosity!

Overall Assessment: I love the formula and finish and I plan to buy a few more shades for the warm days of summer. A+
