Reviewer: Melissa Product: Benecos Natural Eyeshadow Quattro in Beautiful Eyes 001 What I love: In case we’ve never met, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Melissa and I have a borderline unhealthy obsession with purple eyeshadow. I can’t remember exactly when it started, but for at least a decade, purple has been my go-to color. I was already well into my purple-propelled passion when a makeup artist told me that this hue is an excellent choice because it complements my green eyes. What luck! So I could barely contain my excitement when I saw the Benecos Natural Eyeshadow Quattro in Beautiful Eyes 001. This four-pack features two shades of purple (one is a dusty lavender and the other is a deeper, darker eggplant color) and two brownish hues (think the color of a very almond-milk infused cappuccino and a Mexican hot chocolate with little glimmers of cinnamon… is anyone else suddenly craving a coffee?). Each of the colors glides on smoothly—I barely applied any pressure with my brush and got plenty of product. It’s not overly powdery, but I did get a few specks on my temples, so make sure to tap and/or lightly blow on your brush before you apply it. The luscious color lasted all day, but came off easily with my regular makeup remover. Note that you’ll need your own shadow brushes since none come included with the shadow. I’m tickled pink (or, uh, purple) that I’ve found a new shadow to keep my lids looking lovely! |

Meet the Luxe Lounge Ladies:Product-loving women who are invested in the idea of healthy living, plant-based eating, and cruelty-free beauty. They hereby swear to only offer their honest, unbiased reviews, and to only recommend products that they themselves would purchase and use on their own bodies. Jacqui grew up in Latin America surrounded by beautiful landscapes, gorgeous beaches, and lovely people. She learned at a young age that you can make your own beauty products with simple ingredients like lemon, vinegar, papaya, and raw sugar. Her mom is well known for her perfectly arched Liz Taylor eyebrows, a skill Jacqui did not inherit and has yet to perfect.
Product Obsession: I have two--one I pay for: Sonage's Harmony, botanical glycol. Skin looks brighter and smoother! The other is free: An inner smile, which I'm convinced will keep you wrinkle-free longer! Melissa gets a thrill every time she enters a Sephora, duty-free cosmetics shop, or even the local drug store (and in her current neighborhood, that just happens to be a super chic Pharmaca). She can spend hours perusing nail polish (the sparklier the better) and eyeshadow (she's always on the quest for the perfect shade of purple). Moisturizer with SPF, liquid liner, mascara, and lip gloss are her beauty essentials.
Product obsession: My oil-blotting papers from Yojiya. They come in the tiniest little package so they're super portable, but instantly tame any shiny spots. Aurelia has been crazy about skin creams since the age of 12, when she began reading fashion magazines and fretting about future wrinkles. Today, she's still a sucker for serums, moisturizers, and anti-wrinkle creams, which she uses alongside adult-acne ointments (no magazines touched that subject!) and hyperpigmentation treatments (all-natural, of course).
Product Obsession: Definitely perfume. I never leave home without a spritz of my signature scent, Diorella. Categories
