Honest review ✨ Elf products and Revlon

Hey beauties! So, after sharing my initial thoughts on the Elf Lock It Down Eyeshadow Primer, I wanted to dive a little deeper, especially since many of you might be wondering about its performance in real-world conditions. My honest 7/10 rating came mostly because of how it held up in summer heat and rain – a real struggle for anyone living in humid climates or dealing with oily eyelids! I've been experimenting to see if there are any tricks to make this primer perform better. One thing I've found is that applying a very, very thin layer is key. Too much product, and it seems to just exacerbate the creasing. Also, immediately setting it with a translucent powder or a neutral eyeshadow before applying your color can sometimes help create a better base and extend wear time. It's not a foolproof solution, especially when the humidity really kicks in or if you get caught in a downpour, but every little bit helps, right? If you're like me and struggle with eyeshadow creasing, especially if the Elf Lock It Down doesn't quite cut it for your specific needs, don't despair! There are so many amazing eyeshadow primers out there. For those with oily lids who need serious staying power, looking into more silicone-based primers might be a good shout. Brands like Urban Decay's Primer Potion or even Milani's Eyeshadow Primer are often raved about for their longevity. If you need something for super humid conditions, some people swear by 'tacky' primers that almost act like an adhesive for your shadow. Now, let's talk about the star of the show for me – the Revlon Super Lustrous Glimmer! I truly gave this a 10/10, and it's not just for its gorgeous brown shimmer shade. Beyond being an absolutely stunning lip topper, I've discovered a few more ways to enjoy this gem. A tiny dab on the center of your eyelids can give a beautiful, subtle sparkle to your eyeshadow look, especially if you're going for a 'wet-look' effect. And for a touch of glow, I've even carefully applied a tiny amount to the high points of my cheekbones (blend quickly!). Just be mindful with shimmery products on the face, as a little goes a long way to avoid looking overly glittery. Ultimately, finding the right products is all about trial and error and understanding your skin's unique needs. While the Elf Lock It Down primer had its caveats for me, especially regarding its performance in summer heat or rain, it might still work wonderfully for others in different climates or with different skin types. And for that Revlon Glimmer? It's a versatile beauty hero that I can't recommend enough!
