Jesse's Girl swatches and review

Hey everyone! I just wanted to post my review of a new brand I bought at Rite Aid last week called Jesse's Girl. I've been reading a lot about this brand's liquid eyeliner when I was looking at the other products that Ipsy subscribers received in their glam bags and I just had to have it! Overall, I'm  pretty impressed with this brand, especially since most of the items are around $6.

First up...

Jesse's girl Eyeshadow Primer- $5.99

LOVE this primer! I usually use my MAC paint pot in Layin Low as a primer for my lids, but I'm almost out of it and have been looking for a replacement primer. This primer makes your eyeshadow stand out and last all day without getting that funky crease at the end of the day. On my arm, I swatched a green eyeshadow from my Jesse's Girl "The Eyes Have It" make-up palette (review down below). On the left is the shadow without the primer and you can see that it's not as pigmented as you would get it with the primer. Considering my MAC paint pot retails for about $15, this is a cheaper option that works just as well. 

Jessie's Girl Eyeshadow Palette "Brown-eyed girl"- $3.99

This is one of four eye-shadow palettes in the Jesse's girl line. I swatched this palette on my arm without primer. I'm pretty satisfied with the colors in this eyeshadow palette,they go on smoothly and blend in well. The lightest color in the palette is a little chalky, but other then that, it looks great once you use a primer. All of my eyeshadows are put on top of primer, my lids tend to be oily so if I don't put a primer on my shadow just disappears. The affordable price point on this palette is what drew me in, I really only went in to Rite Aid to get the liquid eyeliner but once I started checking the line out, I HAD to buy it! 

Jesse's Girl Eyeshadow Palette, "The Eyes Have It"- $3.99

This is the second eyeshadow palette that I bought from this line that I couldn't resist buyin.. I know, I know, momma's got a shopping problem, but seriously, you can't beat the price! Again, I found that the lightest color was a bit chalky, but the other colors went on pretty smoothly and stayed on thanks to my primer. 

Jesse's Girl Kohl Eyeliner, "Dark Brown"- $1.99

Unfortunately, this product was one I didn't like. I normally don't like eye pencils to begin with, but there are some brands that I use, such as Urban decay and MAC eye pencils. Jesse's girl eye pencil just wasn't cutting it for me. I love the packaging, especially having the sharpener built into the cap of the pencil, but that's really one of the only good things I can say about this pencil. It takes a few applications to get this pencil dark enough on your lids and I had to go over it with a shadow blending brush to get a few sports smoothed out where the liner clumped on. Personally, I wont buy this product again, but I'm not bummed since it was inexpensive.

Jesse's Girl Liquid Eyeliner- $6.99

OMG, I LOVE this eyeliner!!!! Just a warning, if you go out looking for it, it's in a separate display.. I went to two different Rite Aids before figuring that out! This eyeliner is easy to put on and goes on smoothly. The brush is modeled after a calligraphy pen and I think that helps in its application. The eyeliner claims to be water proof, and it stayed on all day, but it comes off pretty easily in the shower so I'm not really sure how water proof it really is. I recommend this eyeliner, especially for someone who may be new to using liquid eyeliner and needed something that was easy to apply.

Jesse's Girl Lipstick, "Sheer Perfection" "Plum Blossom"- $3.99 each

Sheer perfection is a mauve-y neutral lip color that I love! It looks great on my pigmented lips and glides on smoothly. It's got a nice shine to it and stays on for a decent amount of time, it's not a long wearing lipstick but the formula is nice. Plum Blossom is a reddish berry lipstick that goes on opaque and smooth. I think this is a great fall color, and like the Sheer perfection, it's not a long wearing lip stick but stays on for a decent amount of time. The price is right, I think I would buy a few more colors in the future. 

Jesse's Girl Liquid Glass Lipgloss, "Cinnamon Girl"- $4.99

Love the color... Hate the stickiness! It is super glossy, but I can't stand sticky and heavy glosses so I doubt I would buy again. They had different colors available that looked beautiful and the packaging looks great... But I can't get past the stickiness so I'll have to pass. 

Jesse's Girl lip liner, "Naked"- $1.99

Like the eyeliners, the lip liner cap has a built in sharpener which I feel is a big plus. I didn't mind this liner, it is dry and not the smoothest application, but the color is really pretty. A little balm before applying would probably make it less dry and the color goes on well so I'm not terribly disappointed. I think it's worth the money you pay for it, but it's not my holy grail of lip liners.

I hope you enjoyed my review, I think this brand is great for a teen who is starting off her makeup collection or someone who likes a good deal, especially on the liquid eyeliner. The are products that I wouldn't buy again but there are also products that I would, so I think it's worth buying. 

Ciao!
