Transcript

so there's this product that absolutely has not been working for me and I wanted to share it with you guys that you don't waste your money like I did. It's the Armani Eye Tint. I've been using shade 25 and honestly... I just hate this because I can literally swipe this on and blend it out in seven seconds, but riddle me this... where am I supposed to show off the blending skills I learned on YouTube in the seventh grade? I practiced blending, I learned about transition shades... for what? And the worst part is these are all I've been reaching for. I have a whole drawer of eyeshadows and somehow my hand just automatically goes to these every single time. So like all of my other eye shadows are just becoming decor. Absolutely would not recommend. But if you're stubborn and going to order these anyways, then I would suggest 69 and 25. It's the perfect fall combo. But don't say I didn't warn you. You know I'm just looking out for my girls.
