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

I've Changed...

Hi Guys!

So here I am, back on the blog. And I did a little updating!

I just wanted to use this post to kinda talk to you guys... If anyone still reads me. So if you guys cant read the picture click here:https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4EyaOd6Zfk1VVT2LW9LaEJLQxIR3HBa6lwxNQD6X1Lncx6i-WL1GGFYtTd56XSu_A0oYBoc4OhoF8r97_TEpKtTyHGdNf8eZ7BHjb3q_puYV5JQQCkatU90VE5HT56CuIp0WL1o0Nx3K4/s1600/b4aft.jpg

Yea... So I just wanted to go back and tell you guys why I don't use certain products anymore and why my everyday stuff has changed. To be honest, this is a stupid post and something I just felt like writing.

So lets start off with shampoo.

Honestly, the herbal essences was giving me bumps on my head >.< and I was getting sick of the scent. And I didn't think the conditioner was very moisturizing. I find the TRESemme ones to work better and I am so so happy because I had been waiting to try TRESemmes shampoo & conditioner.

I also switched my hairspray because my hairstyle has changed. I don't need extreme, crunchy hold anymore so I switched to something thats definitely lighter. I also stopped using the gel since my hair has grown out so its not as uh flyaway-y?

Next up is Skincare. Not much has changed, just moisturizer... theres no explanation for that because I LOVE the Olay one... It just got expensive...

Alright, now for makeup. I dont really use foundation but I have changed from the Sephora one, since I don't really like that one as much as the Maybelline one. Concealer is the same...  Setting powder changed because the e.l.f. one made me look pale and awkward. I still have it in my drawer... Mascara is same... I also changed my eyeliner since my other one go stolen by my oh-so-lovely (not) sister. Besides, I like the pen application much better. And I wear a lot less makeup on a daily basis, but that is due to laziness~

Thank you for spending time with me today, I appreciate it ^^

I hope I can post more this summer<3 p="">

Maybelline Fit Me Blush

Hi guys, long time, no see ;o
Well heres a review for this blush I bought a few months ago

This is blush from the Maybelline's Fit Me line. I personally don't understand why they need a "Fit Me" blush... Blush is blush. But oh well. 

With the coupons and sales, this came out to $1.74

I got it in the shade Medium Coral. Why? Cuz I thought it was pretty. The picture I took doesn't do much justice...

Here we go, the one from the website.

Its pretty, right?

So, it doesn't really show true to color on my skin tone, but I like it. It gives a subtle hint of pink, making it look very natural. :D

That's what I aim for: natural blush. I don't like it too pink ;P

The blush goes on pretty well, and it doesnt feel gross or have a smell. The brush sucks though. It's all hard and useless. ew. The packaging is whatever... I don't really like it. At least it shuts well.

Price: MSRP:$5.51

Where?: Drugstores, Target, Pretty much everywhere

Repurchase?: Hm, I don't see why not... But I like to try new things.

Aigooooo~

Okay, only 8 more days of school, then summer! I promise to post more over the summer okay? (: Sorry for my lack of posts. Schools keeping me busy >.< And I haven't been buying a lot of cosmetics sooo... ~ But I'll post more! <3

Olay Active Hydrating Cream

 Hi guys :3
Soo... This was on sale so I decided to pick it up. There were a few different Olay ones on sale, but this one only had one left, so I assumed it was good.
Its the Original formula,so i think its just the basic one.
It's pretty moisturizing and its pretty light. Thankfully, its not sticky. I normally wear it under makeup, so it smooths out my skin :3 It smells like baby lotion. The only problem I had with this cream is that for some super odd reason, it really irritated my eyes. So I don't use it around my eyes.

This is what it looks like:

This is what it says on the side of the box:

Moisturizes - Penetrates quickly, providing your skin with an immediate surge of active moisture to soothe dryness without a greasy feel.

Improves - Helps your skin replenish its own essential fluids so skin is softer, smoother, and more supple.

Restores - Works like the essential fluids abundant in young skin, to help restore skin to its natural beauty and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Overall, its a pretty good moisturizer, but its nothing amazing.

Next, I want to buy the Garnier Refreshing Gel moisturizer, I have tried a sample and really liked it so....

Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser

I had been wanting to try this for awhile and so I got it :D

I hear people rave about it alot.

Ever since I started using it, my acne has improved :3

I don't use it everyday though, because its very drying. Might be helpful for oily skin people. Make sure to apply a good moisturizer after!

It says "cools and clears", and it is very cooling. It wakes you up so its good for the morning.

Haha, its so refreshing. It might sting a little on acne, but its only a little. I think this is a pretty good cleanser aside from the drying factor.

It has salicylic acid, which really aids clearing up acne. :D The cleanser also claims to remove 99% of dirt and oil, and it really does remove alot of oil and dirt, causing the drying issue and my face always feels fresh and clean after.

The formula is a clear gel.

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.

up&up Facial Scrub

Hi guise! 

Ok, so this one was a dollar less than the St. Ives one, so I was all like... hm... why the heck not try it? This is the refreshing one, so it doesn't help with acne. I smelled the one that helps with acne and it smells super disgusting...

It smells similar, but its not the same.

It makes your skin soft, and works pretty well, but I don't think that its the same as the St. Ives one. I don't think I'll buy this one again. Also the tube wasn't even filled up all the way.

I like the St. Ives one better... It smells better and makes my skin super soft & glowy :3
