TARINA TARANTINO Magic Hour Cream Shadow Gives Me A Pleasant Surprise
I've noticed that Sephora has been taking on new brands in the past few months which is always an exciting news for beauty adventurers like myself. Tarina Tarantino is a fashion editor and jewelry designer who is known for her luxury and glamorous style. Recently, the accessory queen launched her own cosmetic collection exclusively at Sephora in January. I have already reviewed the Pearl Glow Primer ($32) from her makeup line, but it left me a bit disappointed. Thus, I decided to take on another trial with the Magic Hour Cream Shadow ($19).
I tried out the color Purple Velvet, which is a very beautiful deep metallic violet shade. The cream shadow has very good pigmentation and is perfect to be used as either a base or by itself. What I extremely love about this product is its texture. Its texture is very different from other cream shadows I've had. It is very smooth and silky. It almost doesn't feel like a cream product. It is super easy to spread and creates a very even and smooth finish. What I even like more about the product is that it does not crease at all, with or without primers. This is quite surprising because cream products will tend to crease no matter what. Let's just say that this is definitely a pleasant surprise. I have been wearing this for 6+ hours each day without even a tiny bit of color creases or melts off. One minor complaint I have about the it is that I hate dipping my fingers into the little jar, but I guess nothing is perfect, right?

More about the product : An ultra-pigmented, water-resistant, lightweight formula that works brilliantly as a shadow or liner. This versatile essential features a unique velvet-like texture that glides on evenly and smoothly, leaving an intense wash of rich, long-lasting color. Worn alone, it delivers a beautiful pop of shimmering color. It can be built and layered for customized coverage and makes an excellent base for Eye Dream Hypershadow, helping to intensify color payoff.

Tarina Tarantino Pearl Glow Primer Is In The Wrong Makeup Category ?
You don't have to be a trend hunter to notice that almost every celebrity is launching their own line of merchandises. Be it perfumes, clothing, or toys, if you can name it, someone is making it. I guess product endorsements are not growing money fast enough. Engraving your own name is the way to go. Tarina Tarantino, the famous accessory designer who is known for her use of bright colors and unconventional draft, released her own cosmetic collection exclusively at Sephora in January. Since this big announcement, I have been waiting to get my hands on these pretty babes. So finally a few weeks ago, I took home the Pearl Glow Primer ($32).
This new beauty collection is every girl's dream comes true with the pink and adorable packaging. The primer comes in a glass bottle with a pink cap. Very cute, yet elegant and beautiful. I love to showcase this on my vanity.
Instead of calling this a primer, I think this product is more appropriate as an illuminator. When used by itself, it creates the most beautiful and glowy shine to the skin. Not overwhelmed with glitters, it gives you a brightened and polished finish. I love using this on top of my nose and cheek bones to give my face more texture. However, once you apply another product on top of the primer, the shine will be completely covered. As a result, the primer becomes kind of pointless. Since this is a primer, it is supposed to be applied under other products. I love the idea of a combination of primer and illuminator. Unfortunately, the idea is not practical.
I then tried mixing this with my foundation, and it also gives a very beautiful finish. So, I have concluded that you shouldn't use this as a primer because you will be disappointed. But, try this alone or with your foundation. You may be surprised.
