VDL: Lifegaurd Collection Summer 2014 - Pot Eyes

You guys might have heard that VDL has collaborated with the American Lifeguard Association to create this summer's new collection: the Lifeguard Collection. I've managed to get my hands on their two limited edition colors in 01 Surf N Sand and 02 Oh So Tan. This collection is designed to be water proof so that you are fresh faced and smudge free when you hit the pool or beach.

In terms of packaging, the packaging is very simple and it looks really similar to M.A.C, NARS and Bobbi Brown. It's pretty straightforward in terms of design so I don't really have any comments on it - super easy to open and close, and really, any idiot can figure it out.

VDL claims this product to be super creamy and water proof, and having terrible experiences with so called creamy waterproof products in the past, and I'm really surprised to say that the product really does live up to it's claim. The texture is extremely creamy leaving a metallic and slightly matte finish and both colors really compliment my skin tone AND it lasts for a long time without reapplication in between. I really love it, and to be honest, it's one of the better eye shadows I have purchased this year :)
