Isis Goddess Eyeshadow Trio

eye of horus makeup

These are the first products I have tried from Australian brand Eye öf Hörus, I have wanted to try their makeup for some time now especially because one of my favourite bloggers Jessica enjoys using their products. I think the first thing you notice about this brand is their beautiful sleek black and gold embossed packaging it looks luxurious and it features Ancient Egyptian symbols and images which I think is really different and interesting. The brand is focused on providing cruelty free, non irritating, long lasting and nourishing products. So I have been trying two products from their range the first being their,

Eye of Horus Goddess Mascara*

Which is probably the product they’re best known for. It comes in a jet black tube with gold lettering, which I really like. This mascara has a plastic wand which is quite flexible and easy to use, the wand feels like it really grips the lashes which separates them and coats each lash with a layer of mascara making them look thick and defined.

I found the mascara to be have quite a thin formula but buildable on the lashes. You don’t over apply the product because the top of the tube is fantastic for removing excess product from the brush, this means it doesn’t go clumpy on your lashes and you get a good even distribution of product. This mascara contains authentic Moringa Oil which is nourishing and renowned for its restorative and protective benefits.

This is a great everyday mascara and I had it on my lashes for almost 8 hours with out any fall down or smudging. It also holds a curl really well, so if like me your lashes are poker straight this will be ideal for you. So in short I have been loving this mascara and it is jet black which is a must for me. I hate mascaras that promise to be black but are really grey

Isis Sun Goddess Palette*  £22.50

This trio of golden bakes shadows are so beautiful, I just love these kinds of colours and I think they are so easy to wear. These feel so buttery and blend like a dream. You get three shades that are perfect for creating a bronzed smoking eye or these can all be worn alone and they look great either way. Oh & these can be used wet or dry which seems to be more of a thing these days, as you would assume if you use them wet the colours are more intense and they last longer so that would be great for an evening look.

Eye of Horus-swatches

Enigma Mist is a light champagne shade which I like to use as a base all over the lid and also on the inner corner just to add some brightness.

Chalice Bronze is a beautiful intense bronze shade with a metallic finish, this looks so good on the lid and it wears well throughout the day too.

Sacred Husk is a golden brown and it really reminds me of Mac Amber Lights but the colour is richer and the texture is so buttery. This is my favourite shade in the trio.

Three very wearable colours and they look effortless and pretty on the lid.

This is such a beautiful palette and the quality is up there with Inglot, which are my all time favourite shadows. They wear really well and the colours are beautiful and easy to work with. The packaging is sleek and slim and is the perfect size to have in your makeup bag or for travel.

Eye of Horus products are wax and oil based, paraben-free, great for sensitive eyes and not tested on animals and certified Vegan friendly.

Let me know if you have tried any products from this brand I would love to hear your recommendations.

MeMeMe Create The Look Smokey Eye Collection

MeMeMe Cosmetics Smokey Eyes Trio

I have quite a few MeMeMe products in my collection & have blogged about their Eye Liner, Shimmer Stack and Long Wear Lip Creams and I think their makeup is affordable and very good quality. I have been trying out their Create The Look ‘Smokey Eye Collection‘* and think it’s a great introduction to the brand and it is a great selection of products to have. I wear mascara, and eyeliner almost on a daily basis so I can never own too many of those & the ones in this kit are pretty good.

MeMeMe Smokey Eye Collection

This beautiful collection includes Smokey Eyes trio palette, Dark & Divine mascara, kohl Eye Line Pencil in Coal & Eye Sweep Precision Eye Definer. Four full sized MeMeMe products and everything you need to create that sultry smokey eye. I must admit I don’t tend to wear my eyeshadow that dark but the good things about the eyeshadow trio is you can keep it quite light & still create a Vicki (neutral shadows only) friendly smokey eye.

MeMeMe Smokey Eye Collection

The Smokey Eyes Trio 01 has 3 wearable colours that are pigmented, easy to blend and they wear a long time too. You get a light creamy white shade white is good as a base colour & to brighten the inner corner too. The blue grey shade is stunning, not my usual go to colour but it looks really pretty on the lid and not too dark. The darkest shade is a charcoal grey with a hint of dark blue & the perfect shade to give the look that smokey edge. I want to try a few more of these baked shadow trios as the quality is really good.

Eye Sweep Precision Eye Definer is the ideal felt tip liner for achieving that defined cat flick. The tip is very precise which makes applying your liner quick and easy. The formula is black and long wearing, I like to go over twice just to give it the deepest colour but this is a great everyday liner & it doesn’t transfer on to my upper lids or smudge throughout the day.

Kohl Eye Line Pencil in Coal – This is great for smoking out the eye as it is really easy to blend out & its quite soft & creamy to apply. I used to wear khol liner all the time but I tend to over look them & reach for liquid liners more often. I have been enjoying re discovering the simple khol liner & forgot how less harsh it looks & how you can transform your eye makeup by smudging it out.MeMeMe Smokey Eye Collection SwatchesMeMeMe Dark and Divine MascaraDark & Divine Mascara – I love the big chunky plastic wand, it helps coat each individual lash and separate them making your lashes look full & fluttery whilst the fibre enriched formula gives them volume and length. The formula isn’t too wet and after two coats there is no clumping or spider lashes and its easily removed with Micellar Water & a Hot Cloth Cleanse. I have been wearing this as an alternative to my beloved Roller Lash as an everyday mascara. This is the stand out product in this kit for me.

I think the Create The Look ‘Smokey Eye Collection* £17.50 – would make a lovely gift for someone that is starting their makeup collection because it comes with 4 really good useable products. Or if you like creating a smokey eye then you might want to snap this up too, its very good value for money.

Let me know if you have used any of the products I have mentioned or if you have any other MeMeMe product recomendations.
