Aurora Cosmetics is a new line of natural cosmetics. As much as I prefer natural in theory, I always worry that products will smell weird or not work as well. Plus, they usually cost more too. That is not the case with Aurora Cosmetics. First of all, the products are very affordable ranging in prices from $2.99 to $9.99. Secondly, all of the products I tried worked just as well if not better than similar products without any weird smells or “off” textures. Needless to say, I was impressed. The following are products I tried first hand:
Stain and Deliver Lip Stain (12 shades, $7.99 each)
- Natural Ingredients; Alcohol, Paraben and Perfume-free.
- Allows for effortless touch-ups on the fly
- Bold color effects last up to 24-hours
- Smooch proof
- Contains all natural food-pigment dyes
- Precise and high intensity application
This literally draws on your lips like a marker and the color is almost as intense. I don’t usually like such a dramatic look but for special occasions, this stuff works really well and the staying power is amazing. You can layer it with lipstick or gloss to tone it down a little for everyday wear if a bold look isn’t your thing.
Aurora Pencil Me In Eyeliner (5 shades, $2.99 each)
- Applies with ease
- 24-hour effects
- Smudge-free
- Safe for sensitive skin and eyes
- Allows for precise and high intensity application
This is your basic eyeliner pencil. It wasn’t too hard or too soft and application was as expected — no tugging or dragging of the skin. It stays where you put it and doesn’t smudge so if you like a more blendable liner, this isn’t it.
Available in black, dark brown, brown, blue, white
On the Straight & Narrow Liquid Eyeliner Pen (4 shades, $7.99 each)
- Natural Ingredients; Alcohol, Paraben and Perfume-free.
- Applies with ease
- 24-hour effects
- Smudge-free
- Safe for sensitive skin and eyes
- Allows for precise and high intensity application
“The German ink technology ensures this modern liquid eyeliner to draw a flawless even line with the ultra-thin felt tip. The long lasting ink formula will give you up to 24-hours of precision definition for even the sharpest of cat-eyes. The natural ink formula is 100% free of alcohol and won’t smudge. This liner provides a smooth and luminous look for any occasion.”
I was kind of surprised how easy this is to use since I don’t have much experience with liquid eyeliners. The fine tip made it really easy to apply without going overboard. It wasn’t as intense as the lip stain but could be built up for a more dramatic effect. I tried both the brown and blue colors and really liked them both.
Available in Blackberry (Black), Cinnamon (Dark Brown), Mushroom (Gray), Splash (Jet Blue)
Make It Big Chubby Shadow Stick (12 shades, $4.99 each)
These were easily my favorite product. The Chubby Sticks have a creamy smooth consistency that glides on easily. The large soft tip of these pencils make them perfect for highlighting, lining or to give the lid all over color. The colors I tried were shimmery which I love. I used them on their own and also tried layering them with some of my other shadows which made for a fun experience. A layer of color from a Chubby Stick makes a good primer for layering on other shadows.
Perfect Ten Cuticle Healing Pen ($9.99)
The “Perfect Ten” Cuticle healing pen is safe to use and contains no alcohol, parabens and perfumes. With the pharmaceutical grade cuticle oil that aids in healing dry, damaged cuticles. you’ll not only have great looking nails, but great feeling nails.
This is a must-have winter beauty item! My cuticles were a wreck before I started using this healing pen. This is an easy way to keep cuticles moisturized and in good shape, especially during the winter months when exposure to cold weather can really dry out your hands! I love that I can just keep this in my purse and apply it whenever I need it!
