guess who needs some makeup first aid? Yup, the weather here in nor Cal is hot again, and EVERYTHING’s blooming. Not only have my eyes been a watery mess thanks to all the allergens in the air (ah-CHOO!), but I’m also sweating like a medieval beast.
My eye makeup hasn’t stood a chance for days. I’ve either been crying from allergies or melting from the heat.

Alas, should I sacrifice everything to the warm weather gods?
To survive the past few steamy, pollen-fueled days, I’ve graced my lids with Lockdown, a new line of cream shadows by too faced ($18.50).
The easy wash of shadow adds a little punch without going for the knockout. I think it’s a fab look for lazy days or hot days when the thought of heavy makeup is the last thing on my mind.

To create the Lockdown line, too faced injected their well-known long-wearing eye makeup primer, shadow insurance (LOVE!), with colorful shimmer.
What’s the result? how ’bout six long-lasting shades that pack plenty of shimmer and pigment to spare.
Prisoner of Love: A soft, shimmery pink
Bedroom Eyes: A shimmery taupe
Bondage: A shimmery champagne
Dramarama: A shimmery milk chocolate
I’m Guilty: A shimmery teal
Jail Bait: A amazing and shimmery pink

So far I’ve tried jail Bait, Dramarama and I’m Guilty…
Isn’t that shimmer crazy good?
Jailbait
Once the stuff’s on my lids, it doesn’t relocation for nothing.
I use my fingers to apply it, patting a shade onto my eyelid. It delivers a sheer, shimmery wash of color.
I’ve mostly worn it by itself, but I bet it’d work well layered below powder shadows, too.

Lockdown would rate a ideal grade in my book if it weren’t for one thing: much more than one layer starts looking streaky and uneven.
When I’m in the mood for layers, I’ll probably reach for something like the MAC paint Pots or benefit Creaseless cream shadows instead.
Dramarama
Its inability to layer well limits Lockdown’s flexibility, but it’s still a winner in my book.
The colors I’ve tried have been easy to apply, and I like its resilience in the face of obnoxious bodily fluid issues. That, and the lightweight tube travels well. I think it bring it with me on my next trip out of town.

Ist es schon Freitag?
What started out a good day has devolved into an allergy-fueled sneeze-fest, and I feel miserable! I’m breathing in fits and starts, alternating coughing and sneezing — LOVELY!
Blast you, spring weather! BLAST YOU!
