Vivo Smokey Moods

During my never ending / never working quest for the figure of my youth I have swapped my supermarket sweet treat for a supermarket shiny makeup treat. This is how I discovered Vivo cosmetics. Quality products at a price that is "treat" not "extravagance" an the added bonus as they are in Tesco so I can earn club card points by buying them and then spend my club card points to buy more! Its win win! 

I grabbed Smokey Moods - Midnight Smoke - Ultimate eye kit (on a late night bread an milk run) for the bargain of £4! 3x eyeshadow - 3.6g and 2.5ml of black liquid liner. The back has a little guide on how to get an dramatic smokey look.

I love these little kits, its like they come with a bonus, I have the brow kit that comes with brow gel (an doubles as a fab trio of natural shadows) and the concealer kit (life saver) that comes with a lovely highlighter and a few other Vivo bits an I don't think I've been disappointed.

All swatches have been done without a primer. 

 The silver gives a beautiful solid covering and the purple is a vivid iridescent shade and a near perfect dupe for the L'Oreal eyeshadow I used on my primers post. The blue worried me as it has noticeable sized pieces of glitter and did feel a bit rough when I swatched it with my finger, strangely when I applied to my eye with a brush it didn't feel at all gritty! If you pat or pack it on with a small flat brush it is dark and twinkly just as in the pan but it also blends out loosing some of the glittery-ness in to a stunning petrol/denim blue shade I absolutely love! The eye liner has a stiff felt tip like nib that you dip in to the tube of liquid liner. You can get a really good fine line with the applicator and a good flick too. The eye liner is quite a watery formula, it doesn't run but does take a few second to dry to a glossy finish an once its dry it does not budge! No flakes no running no smudges. Love it!

Thanks for reading.
