New this spring from Milani exclusively at CVS are Shadow Eyez 12 Hr Wear Eyeshadow Pencils.

These chubby, colorful bad boys come in six shades and are long-lasting (up to 12 hours wear), water-resistant, crease-proof and paraben free. You can sharpen them with a jumbo sharpener like the Milani Duo Sharpener.

These pencils are soft, but they don’t break easily. They are easy to apply straight to your eyelid, and blend out. I do tend to work faster with pencils than a powder eyeshadow though because they do kind of “set” then they aren’t as easy to blend. I first tried blending one with my finger, which didn’t work out that great. Then another day I used a brush and that was much easier.

They come with a plastic cap on them and they recommend you shut it TIGHT so they don’t dry out.

I kind of want to change the name of the Nuance by Salma Hayek Color Vibrance Lipstick to Crazy-ass Moisture & Color Vibrance Lipstick! Seriously! But more on that in a minute.

You have probably heard by now that Salma Hayek has a whole new line of cosmetics and skin care at CVS, right? Previously I reviewed some of her products from her skin care line and really was impressed. I am super impressed with these lipsticks as well.

Color Vibrance Lipstick comes in 9 shades and they contain Vitamin E to help moisturize. Now it seems like most lipsticks I use have Vitamin E for moisture in them. But these folks, THESE are the most moisturizing lipsticks I think I have ever worn. It feels like a silky smooth nourishing lip balm going on. Smooth and creamy, they glide on so easily.
