Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner



Hehe, I've got 15 minutes before I head off to school, so I thought I'd make a post. So apparently its supposed to be "Ultimate Precision" which, it does give quite good precision.


So theres a picture of the tip.


Practice strokes! :D I like the way it is, precision wise. Formula wise? Eh.. :/ Like, if you put some on and lets say there's a spot you missed, you can't go over it. It'll either take off the other parts you go over or just not work. The brush dries up quickly... I think that's why.

Aussie Sydney Smooth 12 hr Anti-Humidity Hair Spray

I got this hairspray because they didn't have my normal one T.T but oh well. This one doesn't help much with volume. It does keep your hair smooth though. For 12 hours? Nah. It's supposed to be flexible hold. That's true. It doesn't hold very well.

You're supposed to put it in when your hair is damp. It does help keeping it smooth if you spray it in and then blow dry. Were swimming at school so this comes in handy :3 and it's non aerosol.

Maybelline Volum'Express Falsies Flared

 Yeaa... I needed a new mascara so I picked this one up



 The brush is like a "spoon shape" so its supposed to "flare" your lashes and make them look like falsies. Well, I really like this mascara because it makes it look like I have actual eyelashes. Its not TOO clumpy and its a drier formula which is good for my weak lashes. It doesnt rub off and make the areas around my eyes look all black... Right now its my favorite.
I really dont know what else to say, so here... pictures :D


Before
after one coat
So yeah, theres that. Uhm, Its a real big pain to take off -.-
Maybe because I got the water proof formula... But still o.o

Maybelline Volum'Express Falsies Flared in Blackest Black
Rating: 9/10 (Because its so hard to remove...-1)
Price: $5-8 Depending on where you buy it...
Where?: Wherever they sell Maybelline stuff
Repurchase?: Maybe

---UPDATE---
4.15.2013
It's the only mascara that I have found that will work for me, since the formula is drier than other mascaras. I will be repurchasing this.

Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer


Soooo, I'm sorry I haven't made a post in awhile. High school is keeping me busy x.x Honors classes -_- anyway...

This concealer is from my last sephora haul and its the Kat Von D tattoo Concealer. I heard quite a lot of people raving about it (JlovesMac1) :) But ch'yeah. So I decided to try it. My dad freaked out when he saw the order form xD he was all like: What? Do you have tattoos? XD

I got this in the shade almond. I couldnt really get a good swatch picture though T^T

Now, about the actual concealer...
Its very good ^_^ I'm quite pleased with this product. The cover is AWESOME :D It's oil and paraben free. I'm happy its the right shade too :) The tube is kinda tiny, but you only need a tiny amount to cover. I'll squeeze out a tiny little bubble thing... Like tinier than... hm... I dont know,... but its tiny. And with that, I can conceal under both my eyes. It's very creamy and it blends well. It's now my favorite concealer :3

Repurchase?: The price... D;

UPDATE (about 2 years later[2013])
I still have this concealer and I am nowhere near finishing it. Honestly, this has to be one of the best concealers. I think that I might have to repurchase it now, since it has proved itself to be worth my money. I have been using this daily ever since I got it. I use it to cover blemishes and then I would put powder over, everyday. And yet, it isn't gone yet. It hadn't occurred to me how long I've had this until I looked at this post. I don't think it's good to keep it around for so long, but hey, it's not gone yet!

Sephora Hydrating and Smoothing Foundation


Theres the pic & swatch. I really like this foundation even though its a bit watery. Its still good (especially for the price. kekekeke.) I prefer applying this onto my hand, then using a foundation brush to apply and then blending it in with my fingertips xD The pump squirts out quite alot(caus its watery) -.- but its all good... Just squeeze the pump less...


It fits my skin color perfectly (LUCKILY! :D) and it makes my yucky pores on my nose less visible :3 Its not drying and it doesnt feel like theres foundation on your skin. Its quite lightweight. It evens out skin tone and makes your face feel smooth. It lasts pretty long. :3 Light-Medium Coverage. Buildable :o

Love & Beauty: Lip Scrub & Minty Gloss



Sorry,.... but you must break your neck T^T
I picked this up today O_O at Forever 21... Theres 2 versions of this. Theres one with the Minty Gloss in Clear instead. Not that it makes much of a difference =_< You cant see the color anyway. The gloss is clear. It does leave a nice tingly feeling on your lips XDD It barely has a taste. Like.. artificial mint. A little bit like 5 gum in Rain (My favorite!) XD It squirts out alot -.- like a big blob. GR. 


The lip scrub has little erm... I'd call them sugar crystals XD So basically, you apply this and rub your lips together and the crystals disappear. Its kinda like a lip scrub on the go & lip gloss in 1. It kinda tastes... sweet like lychee (some of you may spell it litchi -.-) It makes your lips nice and soft. 


Neither of these are sticky ^_^ So its all good :D
