Dalton Cosmetics Creme Eyeliner Review Part One!

Let me start by saying I very very rarely will use eyeliner on my lid so when I saw these I truly was hesitant about how I would like them. I have always hated applying liner on my lid because to be honest I am AWFUL at it! Well, I saw the brush that was included and thought to myself "Wow I have never tried something like this to apply eyeliner before." Well between the eyeliner and the brush I am impressed! I never was able to make a straight line across my lid and with this brush I can adjust it to the perfect angle I need to apply the liner, and it also picks up the right amount of liner too! The eyeliner itself is a whipped look and and has a great texture to it and applies smoothly and also lasts all day! Below are 2 out of the 4 creme eyeliners I will be reviewing, and I also am wearing Dalton Cosmetics Lash Fix Tilting Mascara. Keep in mind the application of the eyeliner isn't perfect and the 2 times I applied the eyeliners were 2 out of the 3 times I have ever applied liner on my lid lol. Eyeliners used below: Deep Black & Steel Blue Brush: Multi Angled Brush



Deep Black (left) & Steel Blue (right)


INFORMATION PROVIDED BY DALTON COSMETICS WEBSITE:

What is it: A smudge-proof, richly textured, smooth-as-silk cream eyeliner that works as tirelessly as you do. Prime those peepers for some serious flirting with this creamy, dreamy eyeliner. The flexible formula offers optimal comfort and wear.

Who is it for: Anyone looking for the perfect liner that won't budge.

Why is it different: This cream has been formulated with Dermaflex technology, a formula that combines specific ingredients designed to flex and move with your skin, allowing you to express yourself without settling.

How do I use it: Dip the tip of the eyeliner brush into the eyeliner, being sure to coat both sides of the brush head. Apply liner in short, even strokes close to the lash line, from the inner to the outer eye corner.

DEEP BLACK




STEEL BLUE (bad lighting but best I could get)





Lasting Power: I applied this eyeliner before a day full of running errands around 10am and I didn't remove it until before I went to bed around 12am. It had very little fading and stayed in place all day. For a creme eyeliner I was impressed at how perfectly it stayed in place. It started to fade a tiny bit towards later in the night but very minimally and I think it may be because I didn't apply a thick enough line since I am new to using eyeliner on my lid! 

Packaging: The packaging used for Dalton Cosmetics I feel are so genius and classy looking. They have airtight seals inside the compact that is such a great idea because products of this nature tend to dry out so easily, or if you accidentally drop your compact and the mirror inside breaks it wont ruin your product because of the airtight seal inside! The packaging is so sleek and travel friendly, its all black with shiny pink writing. On the bottom the label says the color name in large writing so you can easily locate what your looking for since the name of the product on the label is so easily seen.

Price: The price of this product on Daltoncosmetics.com is $31.95 which included 1 Creme Eyeliner (available in 6 shades: Plum Fantasy, Bella Bronze, Deep Black, Minx, Emerald, and Navy Shimmer) and 1 Angled Liner Brush. The price of this product may be considered a little pricey but once you have tried it I think you will think its well worth the price tag. Both products are amazing and so worth the money!

Verdict: Overall, I really liked using this product, and for me to like this kind of product it must be good! I rarely will use eyeliner like this and as I said at the beginning I have almost never applied eyeliner on my lid so when I used this it changed my whole outlook on lining my eyelids. It lasts all day way over the 12 hour mark and even though towards the end of wearing it I had minimal fading I think it may have been due to not applying enough since I am new to this! I recommend this eyeliner & brush for anyone, especially anyone who isn't a pro at applying liner. The brush is the best I have ever used and the eyeliner itself is so smooth and creamy!

Dalton Cosmetics Brow Fix Natural Look Brow Gel Review!

Ok so I have the most untamed & sparse area eyebrows ever and have always been on the search for some kind of makeup savior! I always got sucked in to all the hype you hear about different eyebrow pencils, gels, mousses, etc and have a whole drawer full of unused or barely touched products. Well let me tell you that Dalton Cosmetics Brow Gel has completely changed the way I do my brows every morning. I was strictly a pencil user and never thought I would ever be using a gel on my brows because I heard they have horrible staying power. Well Dalton Cosmetics has come up with an amazing brow gel that not only fills your eyebrows in perfectly with a natural look but also stays put all day and doesn't budge. Even when applied directly to skin (that doesn't have hair) it stays on and looks natural! Below is a picture of what my eyebrows look like before and then a picture of what they look like after. Only makeup on my face is moisturizer & tinted primer, I usually will use a clear brow gel or wax after I'm done to tame my eyebrow hairs but the picture below is strictly just with the use of Dalton Cosmetics Brow Gel in Black.





INFORMATION PROVIDED BY DALTON COSMETICS WEBSITE:

What it is? Dalton Brow Fix was created using natural micronized cellulose fibers that add dimension and color back into your brows. This groundbreaking formulation covers gray, tames stray hairs and adheres to skin in areas where hair is absent.

Who is it for? Anyone looking to create natural, full looking brows.

Why is it different? Now formulated with Nutra 6 Complex™, a powerful blend of the 6 essential nutrients necessary for optimum hair health and condition. Dalton’s revolutionary air tight compact was specially created to maintain consistency while giving you a fresh application each time.


How to use: To apply Brow Fix, brush through your brows with the spoolie end of the brush to create your desired shape. Using the brush end, apply in upward strokes to the arch, then laterally to the temple. Brush back through with the spoolie end to create a natural look.


Before

After

Lasting Power: I apply my makeup right when I wake up in the morning and it doesn't come off until I am about to go to bed which usually is around midnight sometimes later. I can honestly tell you that this product literally stayed perfectly in place from when it was first applied until I removed it. I have never used a product like this that actually stayed in place and didn't need reapplying.

Packaging: The packaging used for Dalton Cosmetics I feel are so genius and classy looking. They have airtight seals inside the compact that is such a great idea because products of this nature tend to dry out so easily, or if you accidentally drop your compact and the mirror inside breaks it wont ruin your product because of the airtight seal inside! The packaging is so sleek and travel friendly, its all black with shiny pink writing. On the bottom the label says the color name in large writing so you can easily locate what your looking for since the name of the product on the label is so easily seen.

Price: The price of this product on Daltoncosmetics.com is $30.95 which includes 1 Brow Gel (available in 5 colors: Blonde, Auburn, Brunette, Black, and Gray) and 1 Double-Ended Brush. This product & brush are well worth the price. Other higher end cosmetic brands eyebrow products range for $18 and up just for the product alone and this price includes the product AND a brush! Let me just say that this brush is absolutely the best eyebrow brush hands down I have ever used! It applies this product so evenly and flawlessly. 

Verdict: Overall, I really enjoy using this product and now I am using it in my daily routine. It has replaced all past products I was using on my brows and will now be the product I continue to buy once I run out. The lasting power is the best I have used and I how I am able to extend my eyebrow to be longer and apply directly to my skin without it rubbing or fading off is awesome. I recommend this product for anyone who has sparse eyebrows, eyebrows that need to be tamed, or any eyebrow type in general. This product can easily be used on any eyebrow types and will work perfectly for everyone.

About Doris Dalton

A wellness doctor turned Mrs. America, Doris Dalton has spent the past 18 years behind the scenes of the cosmetics universe helping some of America's best known brands with corporate training, business development, and strategy. Working closely with the QVC network she has become a well distinguished figure to the station, as well as an on air icon. Known for her unstoppable personality, customers tune in not only to find out what product she's bringing to the table, but for entertainment. Her sense of humor and genuine personality are two traits that keep her at the top of the charts when she airs.
Dalton was created shortly after Doris experienced a life changing event. In 2006 Doris was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Losing most of her eyebrow hair, she longed for natural looking and long lasting product that would cover where her brows had shed. After countless formulas, she created a product that not only looks completely natural, but nourishes and is long lasting. It was a hit from the moment it aired, selling out numerous times and still staying in demand until this day. Doris saw and relished in the the appreciation of her consumers. It was that altruistic appreciation that drove Dalton to further improve the cosmetic landscape.
After creating her first product, it was Doris' desire to innovate that lead her to create her line. With her academic grounding in anatomy, biology, and chemistry, she became convinced she could formulate a line that would be an alternative to cosmetics surgery.
Doris is dedicated to cutting edge formulation and packaging designs. After three years of developing it, Dalton introduced Fresh Coat™ Mascara a perfect introduction of Dalton to the beauty counter. Along with keeping your mascara fresh and contaminate free, the controlled wiping system allows you to dispense the perfect amount of mascara. Technology meets beauty.
"I am privileged to talk with hundreds of women who have shared their stories. Every day, I look at our products and think 'how can we really solve her problem or how can I improve this?' I love what I do - because indeed I can head straight to the lab and create it."
