Eye of Horus is one of those beautiful brands that I have discovered since I started Makeup Obsessives, and now I am in love. Not only is the range cruelty free, but they're also free from nasties (aka, parabens) which could potentially irritate the eye area. The products are REALLY high performing, the pigmentation is unreal, and the colours are gorgeous.
Eye of Horus is an Australian brand which only launched in New Zealand in 2012, and I believe it's filling that cruelty free/high quality niche perfectly. The girls who created the products did a lot of research into how the Ancient Egyptians used ingredients such as carnauba wax, rice bran wax, candelilla wax and moringa oil- all of which are nourishing and beautifying.
You've probably seen or heard me rave about the mascara (which I will rave some more about below), but that's just the beginning- there's SO much more to love!

WHOAH these eyeshadow palettes are divine...seriously. The pigmentation is mental- don't let those lighter shades fool you because they really all pack a punch. Something I also really like about the palettes is that you can buy refills- YAY! I mainly use them dry, but I've found if I wet my rush, the intensity goes up by 100%, and I love it. I haven't had any issue with creasing, despite the powder texture being so creamy- and it lasts on my lids for ages. Each refillable palette comes with a wee travel rush too, which is a bonus!
If you have green or blue eyes, you need the Sheba Eye Shadow Palette in your life, quickly. That deep, royal purple shade has my heart, I haven't been able to find another quite like it. I could create SO many looks with this, and I'm nowhere near as creative as you guys- so imagine what you could do! The Isis Eye Shadow Palette has such pretty warm tones- two of which are very similar to Amber Lights and Woodwinked (two of my MAC faves). If you like your highlighter to have a slight golden finish, then use can lightly swirl your blush brush in this to make it a multipurpose product. Speaking of multipurpose, I'm shocked (in a good way) at how often I'm reaching for the Maat Eye Shadow Palette, because I normally ALWAYS opt for shadows with shimmer or sheen. I love the matte brown smokey eye looks I can create with this- and because the texture is matte- it's perfect to use to fill in my brows. when I'm tanned, I imagine I'll also be able to use the middle shade as a contour. Perfect!

Ahhhh, Goddess Mascara! My true H.G. of mascaras. I've only been using this for a couple of months, but I literally have to fight myself not to wear it every day. It's part of my job to try new products...but you'll always catch me sneaking back to this guy. This mascara is wax-based, and when it's applied, it doesn't make my lashes feel stiff and strange, they feel and look conditioned- thanks to the natural plant waxes and oil it contains. It really does everything I want from a mascara- it lengthens, it thickens, it lasts all day without smudging, it doesn't freak out my sensitive eyes- and it's not a total nightmare to remove. I'm going to be using this forever.
 Teal Malachite Goddess Pencil |  Lazuli Blue Goddess Pencil |  Bronze Amulet Goddess Pencil |
 Black Smokey Eye Pencil |  Liquid Define Eye Liner |  Jewel Amethyst Goddess Pencil |
Swatches of Eye Pencils from bottom to top: Emerald Tabula, Teal Malachite, Lazuli Blue, Jewel Amethyst, Bronze Amulet, Nubian Brown, Sultry Serpentine, Charcoal Obsidian, Black Smokey.
There are nine shades available of Eye Pencils in the Eye of Horus Range...I have three...and I want/need the other six. SO badly! I really struggle with eye pencils as a rule, the harder ones drag on my eye (makeup should never be painful), and the softer ones shift and smudge all over the place. These babies fall nicely in the middle though- and have the PRETTIEST shades available. My hands down favourite is the metallic purple, Jewel Amethyst, and my second hands down favourite is Bronze Amulet. The two I'm dying to get next are Lazuli Blue and Teal Malachite....yum yum yum.- my birthday is in October, by the way.
That aside, the quality of these pencils is awesome- they glide on, and once they've set- they're not going anywhere. Smudge-proof, check. Waterproof, check. They also don't fade over the course of the day either- SOOOO GOOD. You won't regret buying one or nine of these, the quality is just gorgeous.
So as you can tell, I'm pretty infatuated with the Eye of Horus products! It's been such a pleasure to try and then write abut them all, and I LOVE the EOH girls too. It's actually thanks to their generosity that I am able to offer several giveaways- wheeeeeeeee! (Comp now closed)
