Beauty Hit: eyeliner

Almay eyeliner (black)

ive been using this eyeliner since july 2007, its my holy grail eyeliner
ive tried many black eyeliners but i always go back to this

its a retractable eyeliner w/ a built in sharpener

i use this liner in my waterline, i tightline with it, and i apply on upper lash line and with a liner brush blend/smudge into shadow to darken and create a more subtle line (it gives enough time to work with it before drying)

it is long lasting, i never find myself needing to reapply, very minimal (unwanted) smudging on lower lash line (& i dont notice that till end of the day)

its intense black exactly what i look for

ive never had any issues with the product, but i will say that i find it often out of stock in black atleast, which has caused me to try other liners but nothing ive found so far can compare to this, i even choose this over the UD zero liner which i also own

i recommend this for anyone looking for a new eyeliner, its amazing, it may not work on everyone, were all different as far as what will stay on our waterline, ive tried liners that last on others but not myself thats why i just want to add that

the liner without cap

the liner swatched, & smudged (see how the lines still very much intact)



if you try this out, let me know what you think(:
i will be doing reviews on other lines at some point since ive tried sooo many

Beauty Miss: eyeshadow base

Loreal Decrease eyeshadow base

i was looking for an inexpensive eye lid primer, and there was alot of hype for this base so i picked it up at my local drugstore for around 7 something dollars (i tend to be disapointed when i go for hyped products)

the color is a fair nude, the consistancy is alittle on the thick side
has a doe foot applicator, and i noticed the packaging isnt air tight either, the cap seems loose

i used it for about 2 weeks and came to the conclusion that im just not a fan
the problem i had was that it drys fast on the eye lid and doesnt blend well,
it leaves a noticable residue which is not attractive! although i didnt notice any creasing the residue issue is enough for me to not continue use

applicator

swatch

residue ehhh :/

whats your favorite inexpensive primer or base?

Beauty Hit: foundation

Maybelline super stay 24hr foundation

ive been using this foundation since Aug 2009, its my holy grail foundation.

its a liquid foundation.

i usually have redness and its full coverage for me.

i wouldnt say its a "24hr" stay but it lasts till i go to bed at night and when i remove my makeup theres alot left so i would say atleast 12hrs.

i use a brush to apply, i find it the most affective way to apply and the most flawless
i have used a sponge applicator & just fingures but i would recommend using a brush.

i do mix other foundations colors with this when my skin color changes and it still seems to give the same full coverage.

the only downside i can find is that the packaging doesnt have a pump.
