Sale@ CVS and Haul

Gevie mentioned this on her blog so that's how I found out about it and I wanted to share it with you all. So, thank you Gevie!!

LOREAL H.I.P. IS ON SALE BOGO 1/2 OFF!!

This was all I could get because the CVS I went to barely had anything left and what was still there was open and messed with and that's just gross! lol.

Color Truth Cream liners in Midnight Blue and Eggplant

Last week I watched a video on youtube where a girl used fluidline as a color base for her eyeshadow and these are pretty much the same thing so I seen my mom had a brand new one in black and I used it and loved how it worked. I didn't have a blue or purple base so that's why I really wanted these two colors.

Hope you ladies have an awesome tuesday!! =)

Review: Loreal Carbon Black Lineur Intense

Vanessa asked me to do a review on this a few weeks ago, Sorry I took so long! But here it is...

What it Claims: The cleverly designed applicator of the Lineur Intense Felt tip eyeliner allows you to create delicately thin or dramatically bold lines with precision. Fragrance free formula. Last up to 8 hours. Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

Ingredients: Aqua/Water, Propylene Glycol, Acrylates Copolymer, Polyester-5, Alcohol Denat., Trilaureth-4 Phosphate, Acacia/Acacia Senegal Gum, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Xanthan Gum, Propylparaben. May Contain: CI 77266/D&C Black No. 2.

Additional Info: For this "Carbon Black" formula it is only available in one color.

Price: $6.99-$8.99

Where you can buy it: Walmart, Target, Kmart, Ulta and anywhere else Loreal is sold.

My Rating: 5+++ peace signs.


The Good: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this liquid eyeliner!! I used the regular formula for years before this one came out and have been using this one for 2 years now. The felt tip applicator makes it SO easy to get the perfect cat eye or for a nice thin line. I've used tons of other liquid liners and this one is way easy to use and I always get a perfect straight line (sometimes without even trying). The color is a very deep dark black and has a slight shine to it once it dries (which is fast, only a few seconds) but nothing major. I also like how you can make the line thinner or thicker very easily so depending on what kind of look you want, you just apply more or less pressure. The lasting power is great, I've gone more than 12 hours without it budging. OK, so I don't think I could have said more good stuff about this!

The Bad: In my opinion, none.

Overall: Definitely my HG liquid liner (even though I'm always trying others to see how they compare! lol) I would totally recommend it. It's just a really good product, especially from Loreal which I don't really use except for the HIP line.

*Just MY opinion of this product*

Envy

I did look today using another one of the Sally Girl quad's in Envy. I was in a little rush so here it is...

I was right in front of the window so that's why I look kinda light

I haven't been doing much hauling or anything and I'm still testing products out to do reviews so those will be up soon.

*Also if you use the Sally's girl quad's in Envy or Power Trip you will need either a white base or colored base to match it because I find those are the two that are the most sheer out of all.*

This is what boredom does...

I felt like doing something different with my makeup just to see what I could come up with. I don't really know what to call this look but I just wanted to share it.

I used one of those NYX jumbo eye pencils and it was creasing like crazy, I really need to invest in some more paint pots in different colors.
I liked this look for the most part it's different than what I usually do, I know now the things I need to work on.
Well I hope you all have an awesome weekend!! My cousin has a dance competition until Monday so that's where I'll be. Take Care Everyone!! =)

Total Immersion Brush Cleaner

I must RAVE about this! So here we go...

What it is: A brush cleaning cup that has grooves on the bottom and little holders at the top to hold brushes in place if you want or need to soak them.

How you use it: Fill about a quarter of the cup (maybe a little more for face brushes) with your brush cleaner or water and soap (like I use), if you need to soak just tuck the brush into the peg that will hold it (there a few different sized pegs) if not just take the brush and start running it back and forth across the grooves at the bottom. You don't have to do it too much, just a few swipes gets the brush completely clean and makeup free. Rinse brush and set to dry. Also beforehand I sanitized it with hot water and alcohol and rinsed it out good. The holder with pegs is also removeable if you don't need it or it's in the way when cleaning face brushes.

Why I LOVE it: It's so much easier and faster than how I used to clean my brushes. I did the whole wet the brush, put some baby shampoo on it and worked it with my fingers until all the makeup came out, rinsed it all out and then set them down to dry. I can now say goodbye to raisin fingers and washing for 15 minutes!! I cleaned about 20 brushes in 5 minutes with this! I mean it doesn't get any faster than that. I'm so glad I found this and just wish I would have had it A LOT sooner.

Where I bought it and how much: Sally's beauty supply for $5.49 or $4.49 with your Sally's card. You can find it in the nail section, around where the nail file bins are.


A view from the top:
This is the pegs that are at the top of the cup to hold the brushes in place and down at the bottom are the grooves that you use to wash the brushes.

Yay for clean brushes! lol
