It's been a beautiful day today, Lovelies. A last warm day or two with lots of sunshine...hope your day has been lovely as well. For this post I'll be reviewing a gel eyeliner from a newcomer to the cosmetics landscape, Addixt'n Cosmetics. Addixt'n is based in New York and debuted in March of 2012. I purchased Unusual, a beautiful blue-teal colored liner.
Now, the reason that I picked this particular product was two-fold: 1) I wanted to try out product from this new company and 2) I'd been contemplating using colored eyeliner for quite some time. I usually stick with black liner and it's high time that I try something new! Soooo...my thoughts:
I LOVED the color...shimmery, slightly metallic, although a littler lighter than I'd expected. Could be that with my deeper skin tone the teal appeared lighter, but still a lovely shade. The texture is very silky smooth and creamy and glided on like butter; the color seemed a little sheer so I applied two coats. Then again, maybe it was just me, since I'm used to wearing black only; I don't think that I've ever run into a "sheer" black cream or gel liner! And boy, does this stuff have staying power! I tried to rub it off the back of my hand and it didn't move; it didn't move from my lids either, even though I had a slight tearing spell after application (lash fell in my eye...HA!) All in all, I was very pleased with this product. Want to try this for yourself? It's available in 12 luscious colors online at

Here's a quick look I did: neutral eye using soft browns with a slightly deepened crease and a natural highlight, lightly contoured cheeks with a kiss of peach blush, nude lips; the teal eyeliner is a great way to incorporate a little color if you are afraid to move away from your neutral eye look.
Do you like the idea of using a colored eyeliner? What's your favorite? Until next time Lovelies, blessings, hugs and peace!
