Milani Ruby Valentine lipstick review

So, I'm on the search for the perfect red lipstick. I want that deep burgundy one that won't make me look gothic or vampy. I want another fire engine, rich red one. The ones I've been picking up are blue-ish toned and not looking so good on me. I need ones that aren't so fuschia/cranberry.

This one seems to be ok. It's Milani's Color Statement Ruby Valentine lipstick, retailing for about 5 bucks at CVS. I like the color, very bright. It still has a bit of a purplish-pink hue to it, especially after it fades a bit. It goes on smoothly. It doesn't stain, and fades unevenly (patchy) after about 2 hours. Not very attractive, but I'm willing to reapply for 5 bucks worth of lipstick.

The casing is cute, and sturdy enough that I feel like the top won't come off in my bag and mess everything up inside.

The other available colors are very bright and poppy. Nothing for everyday wear, which I guess goes with the name of the line. I'm not sure the color in the advertisement (that's the picture I chose) really matches the true color. Nor does the color of the actual lipstick match the output.

My rating? 7/10. If only it came in the right red color.

Covergirl Liquiline Blast review

Hey:) Y'all keeping cool?

I've had these for a while but I really like them, so lemme review the Covergirl Liquiline Blast in green and blue. Those aren't the actual names of the colors, but I threw out the packaging a while ago. They were pretty cheap, maybe $4 at CVS.

I like these. I'm sure they're supposed to be colored eyeliner, and I feel like the colors will look good on anyone. The green makes my eyes pop a bit but is very faint. The blue is so brilliant, and really pretty :)

The product goes on smoothly with no smudging throughout the day. They fade a bit in the water but they don't go all over the place. At the end, each has a rubber "smudger" tool, but it tugs on my eyes more than it smudges, so I don't really like that.

I give this product a 7/10. I wish it came in more colors:(

I'm Back!!

Hey guys!! I'm back!! It's been what? 2 months?! Sorry guys, it's been crazy busy.

So today, I've got the Maybelline Falsies Big Eyes and the Cailyn Line-fix Gel Eyeliner.

First up, Cailyn. I got this in my June ipsy Glam Bag, and I love it!! This is my first ever gel liner and it was so easy to use. The color is in Iron, a kinda gray color. Not too dark, not too light. I don't like using brown eyeliner because I like it a bit darker than that, but black is way too dark for me to handle. This color is perfect.

The gel liner goes on so smoothly, and I love that the brush clicks into the top of the container, it's one less thing to worry about losing and it keeps the brush clean inside my purse. Yay! I give it a 9/10.

Now the mascara. I love Maybelline mascaras, especially the Falsies series. My favorite is the Winged Falsies. Anyway, the commercials for this mascara promises two sets of mascara brushes, one each for your upper and lower lashes. Used together, it's supposed to make your eyes pop.

I'm not sure if I like this mascara. It doesn't make my eyelashes as long or as thick as the original Falsies mascara unless I do maybe 20 strokes per eye. The mini brush for the bottom lashes works well, although I don't usually use mascara on those. I find this mascara also tends to smudge onto my skin, giving me a shadow-y raccoon look. Yuck. As a mascara, though, it seems to be ok but it doesn't make my eyes any bigger. I have chinky eyes, I need the boost. I give it a 6/10.
