Review for Performance Colors!!!

Hello everyone! So I filmed a review on these products that will be up tomorrow and I will update this post so you can go check out the video! If you'd like though I will be doing a giveaway for my 100 subscribers and you can SUBSCRIBE if you'd like by CLICKING HERE!! Thank you so much and without further a due here is the review!

CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW VIDEO

First off I wanted to let everyone know that I contacted Tiffany from Performance Colors and she decided to send me some samples to review for you guys. So thank you so much Tiffany!! All of her links will be linked at the end of this post!! :) Enjoy


So the first product I wanted to talk about is the Eyeliner Pencil by Performance Colors
The color that she sent me is in Electric Blueberry. I really love this eyeliner, it claims that it goes on soft and dries to smudge-proof, fade-proof and all day wear. This I have also found is water proof! I applied this to my lower lash line and I was tearing up that day from laughing so much and it didn't move! It stays in place and I love that. She has a lot of more colors available on her shop which will be linked at the bottom of this post!
Here is the color swatched it isn't a bright blue but more like a navy which I really like!! It goes on very smooth and I really like it a lot! You can get this on her shop (again link is at the bottom) and it retails for 6.50 and you get 1.6 grams of product!

The next product I wanted to tell you guys about that I was very shocked to receive and that is the Shadow Magnet. This is an eyeshadow primer! This is described as sheer primer for under shadows, won't smudge or budge. This is completely true and it is so light weight. Also let me just mention how sweet it smells! YUM
 This is so creamy and soft and smooth I love it and it as literally replaced my Urban Decay Primer Potion!
These are just sample sizes that she sent. The full size is 2.8 ml and it only costs 5.00 and for me im saving fifteen bucks because I used to purchase the Primer Potion.

Next is the Lip Repair:
This says that it won't separate with seasons changes and you can use this alone or under a lipstick. I really like this, it is extremely light weight I can't feel it on my lips at all but it just makes my lips sooooo smooth!
 Again this is just a sample size, for the full size you get 5 ml. It retails for 5.00, so it is very affordable! I really do enjoy this.

Next are the the Shimmer Sticks:
These are just cream eyeshadows and the texture of this are comparable to Maybelline Color Tattoos. I absolutely love these! I was thinking about doing a tutorial with these so please let me know in the comments if you would be interested!
Directions: For awesome sparkle and shimmer looks apply to upper lids. They are beautiful and shimmering!! They don't crease either and these are also waterproof!
She has many other colors on her shop but these are the 3 she sent me. Oilslick, Plum Fairies and Babycakes. My favorites are Babycakes and Oilslick.
Swatches from left to right: Oilslick - which is a really pretty deep teal blue (reminds me of a peacock!) Babycakes is in the middle and it is a light pink, rose gold shade with hints of shimmer, this a dupe for Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink. The final one is Plum Fairies - which is a deep plum shade.
These retail for 5.00 and you get 2.8 ml.

Restorative Lip Color:
I was so excited to try these and I can't wait to repurchase these!!! The description for these are that they feel like a balm but look like a lipstick and that is exactly the truth!
The 3 colors she sent me are Bubble Gum - a light but bright pink. Cool Pink - which is a purple based pink and Coral Pink - which is a bright coral pink more on the peach side.
Swatches from left to right: Cool Pink,Coral Pink and Bubble Gum. These are so pigmented! I love them and these are totally my colors!! ;) These retail for 5.00 and you get 5 ml of product.

Matte Cream Lipsticks:
-Hydrating Matte Cream Formula, feels great on your lips, dewey movie star look and super saturated color. Again the claims are completely true. If you were to use like a matte finish by MAC they dry out your lips sooo bad but these don't at all!!! They are very very hydrating.
I officialy LOVE matte lipsticks now, even though the only one I ever wore before was MAC Candy Yum Yum.
The colors she sent me are Buff, Petal and Juicy.
Swatches from left to right: Petal which is a really pretty light pink. Buff - which is a pretty natural color and the last one Juicy - which is a pretty coral color. They are very pigmented and very build-able.


So that is it for my review and swatches. I will be having a MAC Dupes video coming up within a couple of days! It will feature these lipsticks and they are 15.00 cheaper, I think I would opt for these, plus she has even more beautiful colors on her shop.

How to find out if a product or foundation is silicone based!



How to find out if your foundation is silicone based or not?
Look on your ingredients list, if you didn’t know the ingredients are listed from most quantity to least quantity. So for example if you were to see ‘Water’ or ‘Aqua’ listed first that means that there is more water in it. But that doesn’t necessarily make it a water based foundation. Because if the 2nd word is something like silica, dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, actually all you have to do is look at the end of the word, if it ends in –cone, -siloxane, -silicate or –silicone ß that is your silicone ingredient, it is most likely a silicone based product. Now if you get to the middle of the ingredient list or below the middle and you haven’t reached a silicone ingredient then it will most likely be a water based foundation.

Why is silicone used?
                Silicone – lets your skin breathe, it also fills in any pores or fine lines you have. It’s also a lot smoother and will most likely give you an “airbrushed” or “flawless” look.

Will I break out because of silicone?
                Well, that I am not sure of. Because everyone’s skin is different. Some are sensitive, some are oily and or combination, etc. But I do know since it does fill in your pores you could experience severe to minimal breakouts. For me I have been using a silicone primer and I have dry/combo skin and I haven’t had a break out. I think that you would be more likely to break out from a product you’re using because of the talc and possibly the fragrance in cosmetics.

What brands use silicone?
                Well as I have found the majority of foundations use silicone. From high end to drugstore there is some form of silicone in almost all of them. I do have a list made up and I will be posting that as well.

But I hope this helped you for the most part. If you want to know more about this just let me know in the comments on my blog or even on twitter, instagram or my channel.

As always thank you for reading!!
