I managed to get the P.louise latest product for you so you wouldn't have to. I did manage to get a few more products as well- you know for you. Let's begin!
My purchase arrived within a P.Louise shopping bag which was by far the cutest thing ever! The "Dishin' the dirt" collection included your choice of one her "Crisp finish" latest primers, "Browtiful-Mochaccino" eyebrow kit and a "Sandwich stages" eyeshadow set. I then added another "Crisp finish cosmetic paint" in shade "Smokin' hot," two Acid Reign primers in shade "blank canvas" and the P.louise "Badda black" primer.
The packaging is by far my favorite part of this whole collection. (If you press play you heard all about it.) It was a favorite of mine because it was marketed as if it were the actual dishes ie. latte, sandwich and chips; all things that would make a great lunch. So naturally you'd want to follow these makeup steps as is because it makes a great lunch. There was also encouraging words as far as using her product and following her footsteps. One con is that there's so much wording on everything that you would most likely miss all the advice, instruction and ingredients because of the small font. The colors are pretty but very light and the gold cursive makes you think it's decoration and not words. Lastly, you won't want to throw it away because it's so adorable.
The Crisp finish bases
I've used the original P.Louise bases and my personal favorite has been the shade in 2.0. It's like wonderful combination of my complexion yet a cooler undertone. The bases have been absolutely great yet when I watch my favorite U.K. makeup artists perform they have used a thicker P.Louise base. That base was the "blank canvas" shade in the Acid Reign collection (hence why I bought two). Anyways, these new primers are just as weighted which I love. It works excellently when packing on color or doing more of a high glam look. I would definitely recommend blending them out before adding on color and waiting for it to dry before doing your first eyeshadow step. One eye at a time, is definitely my recommendation because it can cause havoc if otherwise.
P.louise "Badda black" primer
Oh this one did disappoint but I kind of get why. The primer is like the original bases so it takes longer to dry compared to the Cosmetic paint and has medium coverage. More product supplies a thicker base but I was hoping this would be like a gel liner. It sheers out too quickly so more product is needed to really create a thick base and that kind of disappointed me. I still feel like I need to use my gel liner to get the amount of coverage and color I'd like. Then at the same time because it's black you do have a considerable amount of time to clean up or alter the look you're doing. It's not horrible but Kind of "meh."
Browtiful-Mochaccino
This was by far my favorite package and I think it's because it reminded me of coffee, specifically my favorite coffee shop Joe's, but aside from that I had no knowledge brow stuff was apart of this collection. I did love that it came with the shadows as well as the primer and a spoolie. At first, I thought there was another primer added to my delivery but found it to be a spoolie. I bought the color Mochaccino and loved it because it's a rich brown without being too warm. Also, the pencil is a twist up so no sharpener hassle needed (Thank you) and is thin enough to recreate brow strands without looking phony. Plus, it's not too soft to apply and has great staying power but I do wonder how much product is in the pencil.
Now for the brow tint, I think the brush(spoolie) is way too big to coat the brow. It does go on a bit too thick when you're just using this product to lock in the color and pencil application. Warning, don't glide on too much unless you prefer high drama brows. A pro to this would be that you can use this alone yet you won't be able to feather out the beginning of the brow like I like to. It adds more of a natural look so that kind of bothers. However I still am a fan of this brow stuff it's impressive.
Sandwich Stages
Each sandwich palette has a name and hints as to what's next with your shadow step. The names are "You're just getting started babe, Second course.., let's be having you, Damn I give in... Last serving, and Mmmm.. Don't mind if I do. Add a little bit more." The names can throw you off as far as steps go but I think it's because some steps are interchangeable. But, I think this is an adorable idea and speaks to various women who can get nervous over color. There's an array of color selection and shadow finishes like: mattes, pastels, sparkle/shimmer and darker shades. They're all super rich in pigment and movement-super blendable and stackable. I'm also happy to see mirrors in each palette because they're small and usually a mirror wouldn't be added. The one annoyance is that each shadow finish is in one palette unlike their competitors there isn't a mix and match in one shadow palette. Like you'd have to carry another one if you're on the go. Aside from that it's still a great starter for color and an addition to bold eyeshadow connoisseurs.
