Almay liquid liner in black

Hello loves!! Thank you for joining us for yet another fun blog! A quick thanks to all who have been following our blogs lately, and if youre new WELCOME we love you!

Now for those who have been following our blogs for awhile know that i have a slight obsession with lipsticks. Its such a problem! My second obsession though if definitley eyeliner. I am always on the hunt for the best eyeliner. One thats water proof, smudge proof and long lasting. And im always eager to try out brands that ive never heard of. ALMAY being one of them!

Now this retails for about $6 or $7 which is pretty affordable for an eyeliner. Now it doesnt look like you can purchase it from their website, but i do know you can get it at Walmart or Ulta!

Now what does this promise?

Get beautiful definition with this easy-to-use liquid eyeliner. Water-resistant formula lasts up to 16 hours without irritation. Unique “inkwell” design delivers fresh color every time. Flex-tip applicator provides mistake-proof control.

Thats what this eyeliner is supposed to do, now lets take it step by step.

Did it give me beautiful definition?

Fairly good, the tip was very fine which did make for a more precise application, but i will say it gave of a very liquidy consistancy even after shaking before using. It was kind of like if i were to use black water color as eyeliner, which i wasnt a huge fan of for wings. For a more natural look without wings it was okay.

Is it water resistant?

I will say i was shocked to find that it was water resistant. If i lay down, there is always one eye that gets really watery. I have no idea why, but laying down after doing my makeup is always risky because of it and i dont know how many times ive ruined my eyeliner by it. Thankfully when i used this product, although i dont like the water color looking wings it gave me, it did last through my leaky eyes.

16hr and no irritation?

I will say it lasted for about 9hrs, at least thats how long i was wearing the product for. I have no doubt that it would definitley have lasted longer if i had worn it. As for irritation it did make my eyes itch a bit when i drew one some wings, but if i didnt add wings there was no irritation.

Mistake proof control?

Ladies we’ve all been there before, those bad eyeliner days where the tip decides to like go crazy? So much for straight wings right?I will say that the tip is rather flexible and the times i have used this eyeliner, i have yet to muff anything up.

Now is it my favorite eyeliner in the whole entire world? No, it just personally isnt the type that i like. If it was a thicker/ darker more matte consistancy i think it would totally be a must have. Alas it is not, but i do like to use this product when im do lazy to go all out and want a more natural look.

Thats it for todays blog!

July Beauty Favorites!

Hello guys! Welcome back to our blog. Today I’m going to share with you some products I’ve been loving throughout the month of July. Lets get into it:

Face Products:

Milani Make It Last setting spray – I’ve been to a few events in the heat this past month and this setting spray has really helped keep my makeup on longer, and it doesn’t make my face look dehydrated!

Tarte Park Avenue Princess Bronzer – I am pretty sure this was in last month’s favorites, oops! But I love the tone of this, it never makes my skin look muddy and instead makes me look naturally tan!

Eye Products:

NYX Control Freak Eyebrow Gel – This has been my go-to! It keeps my brow powder/pomade in all day and it doesn’t make your brows crunchy, even though it’s medium hold. I highly recommend you pick this up.

NYX Worth The Hype Mascara – My lashes look so good with this mascara on. It is a more natural looking mascara, lots of length and definition and a little bit of volume. It stays on all day and is really black, I love it!

E.L.F Tone Correcting Powder Review

Hello guys! Today I have a beauty bargain to share with you. I’ve been using this powder for a while and I wanted to do a review on it!

Overview:

  • Price: $4
  • Cruelty free and 100% vegan!
  • Translucent pressed powder

Promise: Create a balanced and radiant complexion that is beautiful and healthy. The lightweight formula evens out skin tone and absorbs excess oil, and sheer formula brightens, mattes and neutralizes the skin.

I thought that this product really did live up to the promises. I love this for setting my foundation, I use a dewy finish foundation (I have drier skin) and once I layer this over it, it becomes a satiny – matte finish and I love how it looks. It is sheer and the colors don’t show up, the powder becomes translucent on your skin. It is very finely milled and feels very smooth and silky on your skin. It will absorb excess oil, Continue reading “E.L.F Tone Correcting Powder Review”

Beauty Empties: March – April

Hello guys! Sorry for leaving for a few weeks, Christine did a lovely job holding down the fort!

Choosing which college to attend in the fall was such a huge decision and it sucked up all my time. I just committed to a college in California and I could not be happier, so I’m back to blogging!

Anyways, lets jump into the beauty empties:

Makeup:


Bareminerals Touch Up Veil in Translucent – This powder was really lovely and it has spf 15, but no flashback. I would repurchase this in the future!

Physicians Formula Eye Pencil in Black – This eye pencil was just okay, it didn’t stay in the waterline so I wouldn’t repurchase.

Skincare:


Vapour Beauty Clarity Cleansing Oil – I really like this, it is so lightweight and takes off your makeup really well. I already repurchased!

Acure Purifying Fruit Peel – This was amazing, it really got the top layer of dead skin off and left me glowing. I also really love this skincare brand  and I would definitely repurchase!

Pacifica Dreamy Youth Day and Night Face Cream – This was just okay, it wasn’t anything stand out and I’d recommend it if you just need something that will give you lightweight moisture for a cheap price. Continue reading “Beauty Empties: March – April”

The Best Concealer for Creaseless Undereyes!

Hello guys! I got this concealer way back in April and I never reviewed it because for a while, I actually hated it. Now i’ve completely changed my mind and I have been loving it for my undereyes and for spot concealing. It’s just become an all around favorite for me!

It is the Urban Decay naked skin concealer!

Promise:
An innovative, high-coverage concealer that provides buildable, weightless coverage and leaves an invisible, Naked Skin finish. (sephora website)

This concealer does everything it says. It has a really good amount of coverage, medium to full, and isn’t drying at all. I don’t think I’ve found another concealer that lasts this long and is this lightweight. This doesn’t crease on my undereyes, even if I don’t set it with powder it seems to set itself and doesn’t settle into my lines. I have hooded eyes and almost all concealers crease there except for this one. It is really hydrating, if you have incredibly dry undereyes it will sink in and attempt to hydrate, which will cause cracking. That is what happened with me and why I didn’t like it at first. After I started using an eye cream at night that problem disappeared and it looks weightless and flawless on my skin when I apply it in the morning.
