Essence Eyeliner Pen

Hi guys, finally, a new review! So, meet my new favorite eyeliner!
I've been using this one for a while now and it hasn't run out...yet.
So for those of you who don't know about essence, you should. They're pretty reasonably priced for what you get. I did a review on their concealer awhile back, so I apologize for the content, but it's pretty thorough. You can read that here.

On the packaging, it says:

eyeliner pen for a precise line

colour intensive and extra longlasting

smudge-proof

It does pretty much all of this, so nothings really wrong here. The color is dark enough, so that its not grey, thank goodness. If you accidentally rub your eye, it might rub some eyeliner off, but it doesnt smudge around (another thank goodness) and reapplying would fix that right up.

Okay, so for the tip. The tip is pretty thin and its a felt tip, which I really like. I can easily create winged liner. sorry for the blurry photo. 

Before, I was using Stila's Liquid Eyeliner pen, but that was $20. I'd say this is comparable, however, Stila's pen was thinner and the formula was waterproof, while this is not. Another product it is comparable to is the e.l.f. eyeliner pen, however, that dried out so quickly, I never got to do a review on that one!

It lasts pretty well though, and it doesnt flake off. I've worn it all day and it stays pretty well. If you feel the need to reapply though, go ahead.

It doesn't put much of a fight against water, or any liquid, so beware if you sweat. I had to put eyedrops in and it kinda disappeared... Which leads me to another thing I like about this. It comes off easily with water. I remember using the Stila one and taking it off was a pain. If I forgot to remove it before a shower, I would come out looking like a horror movie character, with eyeliner running down my face. I would also need to remove that with makeup remover after. I think that might be good though, since it implies good staying power.

Anyways, this one comes right off with my face soap and water, and it doesnt even stream down my face. When applying it, you can quickly wipe it off with a Q-Tip and everything will be okay. But if it already dried, just put some lotion on the Q-Tip. I really do love this eyeliner

e.l.f. Tone Correcting Powder

Heres what the box looks like

 The erm... compact

 How thick it is

 The inside

Sooo... I decided to get this randomly, and I'm really happy I did! :D

It's translucent, so don't worry about the colors :3

It helps minimize redness and help my dark under eye circles look brighter. I've been using it everyday ever since I bought it.

I'm not sure if you're supposed to use it first before concealer (or foundation) or after... I just use it after I apply my concealer.

But yeah, I've already hit pan :< It comes with a mirror inside, but I don't really like the roundness of e.l.f.'s compacts.

e.l.f. Cream Eyeliner

I randomly picked this up from target about a month ago on a whim XD It says its long wearing and smudge-proof.

I got the color black :3 So... It's a cream liner. 

The brush is kinda tiny, but its angled. So, it works okay.. Im considering buy another brush though.

I did some random strokes on my hand demonstrating how it does thick and thin XD I llooook like a Zebra :3 This liner is very pigmented ^_^ the color is very bold and black.

I ran it under water and rubbed it and it smudged... Its not water-proof nor does it claim to be but I just tested it anyway x3
Yeah... So, it does last for a long time. I wore it to Disney Land and it stayed on pretty well... But it does smudge around, so i recommend putting black eyeshadow over to seal it. Yea, thats about it... I'm not impressed by this. Next I want to try MAC Fluidline... If anyone has tried it, please let me know ")

e.l.f. Studio Concealer

This is the Concealer. I got this somewhere in March.? It comes in a nice little tube. FIRST thing, The cap falls off ALOT>_> so do NOT depend on this cap here. Its not stable =_=" Otherwise, this product is sorta... Nice. Its very creamy and easy to apply, but kinda hard to blend. It'll blend, but you should warm it up on your hand first if your applying with fingers or you can just put it on and blend with a sponge.Its nice and creamy and gives pretty good coverage. I think this is because its so dense ._. You apply it, like you would a lipstick. But on your face.

e.l.f. Eyeshadows

First one is an e.l.f. Mineral eyeshadow. I got it in golden. Its really pigmented and shimmery. This eyeshaadow is really messy if you dont handle it right. *ahem*(like how i spilled it all over)*ahem* I had a swatch picture but it wouldnt load onto blogger -.-  well, heres what it looks like.

See the Shimmer? 
I recommend applying this with your fingers because the brush can pick up too much and it can get ALL over your face and nobody likey ;] This one was more expensive because its part of their professional line -_- But its ok :)

Next up is this eyeshadow palette. I believe its in "Silver Lining" This one has a purple theme to it. Comes with four colors, a sponge applicator and a teeny tiny mirror that probaly isnt useable. Also swatched this one but it wouldnt load D: grrr...

Well, Sorry for  the pooish pictures :( SOme of my lightbulbs went out. Well, Theres a WHITE, PURPLE(reminds me of the color of the jelly belly "Island Punch"), a darker somethat GREY, and a white with a pink/lilac undertone. These colors are all shimmery. I think the color lasts pretty well, but it doesnt brighten really o_o

e.l.f. Regular, Waterproof and Clear Mascara

ohkayyy helllo!:D hehe. this post will suck... im in a hurry sorry

Well i got this just to try it...

Waterproof mascara yaay... So, first thing I noticed was that it was really thick (the waterproof one) realllllllly thick! and clumpy looking. When you put it on, its not as clumpy as it looks. But you will get clumps close to the lashline -_-... So, yeah its good... waterproof... but when it does get exposed to eye rubbing, it comes off. Not streaming down your face (yay) but in dry clumps. Like hmmmm like super tiny clay. okay well, the brush.. looks terrible.

Now about the regular one... I didnt dare wear this to go swimming so i put it on and splashed water on my face a couple of times. It comes off just the same as the water proof kind.  Its less clumpy and less thick.  lookkkk! IT LOOKS WAAY BETTER. this one works really well.

after these dry, i put a layer of clear on it.... uh yeah.... i like the clear one. alot! this is the eyelash one on your left. and the eyebrow one is on the right yepp.haha ok

e.l.f. Mechanical Eyelash Curler, Zit Zapper, and Albolene

e.l.f. Mechanical Eyelash Curler, Zit Zapper, and Albolene

Hi people who read this! And thanks so much for doing that!

So, school has started for me, and Ive been very busy. Today I went to ittle Tokyo for Nisei Week! :) SO im going to talk about three products today! Gosh, its almost midnight...  But nevvermind that!

I LOVE this eyelash curler. It works really well! I didnt really expect it to work that nicely... This curler uses spongy pads to curl your lashes. You can definitely see a difference after. My favorite part about this is the rest for your ring finger x) i really dont know why... 

It comes with one mechanical curler and two spongy pads. I guess to switch out when one of them gets old.

Rating:: 5 out of 5

Price:: $1.00 :D

okay, this is the e.l.f. Zit Zapper. This also impressed me. I didnt think itd work at all. The packaging is small so its portable. This reminds me of the Clearasil one... I really dont remember what its called, but your supposed to put it when you feel a zit coming. So the tip is a rolly ball and you just roll it on the spot where you need to roll it. It reduces redness, swelling, and does make acne less visible after a few days of using it on clean skin. On the back of the packkage it says it has a unique blend of Salicylic Acid, Tea Tree, Witch Hazel, abd Camphor. I dont know what Camphor is... Never heard of it.

This also dries quickly so you can use it whenever, I prefer before I go to bed though. Well, its pretty worth it for a dollar. Why not try it? Its working pretty good for me. Ive been using it for about two weeks now.

Price:: 0.2 fl oz./ 6ml for $1.00

How to Use:: (Directions from Package) Apply directly on blemishes nightly.

I found this in my moms bathroom because I had run out of makeup remover... So i saw this and decided to try it. So, I had waterproof eyeliner, waterproof mascara, eyeshadow, and blush on today. This product has a jelly-like consistency... Like petroleum jelly. This is incredibly easy to use and works pretty well. The product claims it moisturizes your skin, while removing makeup even lipstick. You dont have to use any water. It is fragrance free and dermatoligist recommended. It does in fact leave your skin very smooth, but I still feel a residue because its jelly. It shouldnt bother most people. . . I just have issues like that Its ok, i just wiped it off. This removed my makeup very well. None was left. :D It says it provides superior moisturizing for scaling and itching skin and dry skin conditions like eczema. My sister has eczema... I'll have to see if it works. :)

Rating:: 4out of 5(cause of the residue)

Price::12 oz. for $9.95 theres other sizes. Look at the website here: http://www.albolenecleanser.com/Pages/index.php?src=directory&view=DSE_Products&category=Albolene%20Cleanser

Check out their site... Its kinda interesting

How to Use: Smooth over where you have makeup and use a tissue to remove.

e.l.f. Shimmering Facial Whip

e.l.f. Shimmering Facial Whip

Okay, I got this as a ''free gift" from e.l.f. for refferring 3 friends... So, I have this in citrus. I wish I got to choose the color. -_- When i opened this a big glob came out. Your only supposed to squeeze a pearl amount. x] So, this is reallllly glittery, so use a little bit. This is also NOT easy to wash off. Even with soap. So, I dont know whether thats a good thing or a bad thing for you. Its really creamy and adds sparkle to your skin. The product claims that it is packed with vitamins B, C, and E. It does brighten your skin. And it has no greasy afterfeel which is also great. Even when you accidentally squeeze a big glob out. ;D The Shimmery Facial Whip smells citrusy so its not a harsh smell or anything.

Rating:: 4 out of 5

Price:: $1.00

How to use: Squeeze a pearl size amount onto finger and blend into cheeks, eyes, and/or lips.

Thanks for reading!!!

e.l.f. Liquid Eyeliner

e.l.f. Liquid Eyeliner

I have e.l.f. Liquid Eyeliner in Ash. Its a grayish color... but it turns out to be very close to black. The bottle is very tiny but the wand is very long so its easy to use.

The tip is thin but you have to apply it very slowly and carefully or it gets blobs on your eyelashes or lids. I do find this eyeliner to be very messy: it gets all over my hands and eyelids/lashes anyway... While using this, I accidentally poked my self in the eye and it got a big smudge of gray in my eye. -_- I tried using water to wash it out but it just smudged all over. SO DO NOT use this if you think you may cry or get wet that day ;) It came out fine all by itself though! This eyeliner removes well if you dab it which takes more time... but if you wipe it, it smudges all over which creates more of a mess. Theres no clumping which is awesome!!! This works good if you want winged eyeliner. Its not the best, but its worth it for the price.

Elf Haul:: Coming Soon!

Elf Haul: C0ming s00n!

This morning, I ordered some stuff from elf (eyeslipsface.com). I bout about 15 dollars of stuff. I like their products because most of the stuff is only $1. The only thing that I didnt like was that the shipping was $6.95. I found a coupon code that took off 50% on your purchase so, it kind of covered the shipping. The coupon code only takes off up to $7.50, so you can spend $15 max and get the code's full value. The code is winnerelf. I dont know when this expires... But it works today!

I cant wait til my box of gooodies arrives! ;D ♥
