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.

Ulta Automatic Eyeliner, Ulta Gel Eye Liner, Ulta Kohl Eye Liner

This post is in honor of Ellen A. :D



I'm an eyeliner junkie, in case you couldn't tell. For the longest time I used automatic eyeliner because it was nice not having to sharpen the thing. I just screwed it up and down. No dirty pun intended.

Today's review is for the Automatic Eye Liner in Chocolate (which is a medium brown), Gel Eye Liner in Envy (a deep green), and Kohl Eye Liner in Brown. They're about 2-4 dollars at Ulta if you buy two.

And here are the color swatches!! (I only have swatches for the Brown and Envy because my Chocolate ran out...sorry!)

Brown on the left, Envy on the right.

First up: the automatic liner.

It's supposed to be waterproof and long lasting. This goes on very smoothly. The color is either not very pigmented or not as dark as I'd like because I have to reapply maybe 3 times to get it to show up on my skin. It doesn't come with a sharpener so after 3 uses, the top is very dull and creates a thick line. It smudges off very easily and by the end of 2 hours, I look like a raccoon without ever having touched my eyes. I have no idea why I used it for so long except maybe because I thought all liners were the same? Innocent me. I give it a 3/10

Second: the gel liner

Basically, a gel liner in pencil form. It is sharpen-able, which is nice :D I don't mind sharpening now that I've dealt with the automatic and the dull point. It goes on very smoothly. IT DOESN'T SMUDGE!! It stays put for 8ish hours (the longest I've worn it). It's very pigmented, it only takes one stroke for the color to go on rich and dark. I give it a 9/10 :D If only it came in electric colors. It does come in purple, green, black, and brown.

Third: kohl
This goes on smoothly. Not as deeply pigmented as the gel liner but not as faint as the automatic. I find that it doesn't smudge but it does fade a bit after 3 hours. It works nicely for day time since I don't like my makeup to be so dark during the day. I give it a 7/10. It does its job.

Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo, NYC Eyeliner Duo review

First off, I'll be reviewing the Maybelline 24 hour Color Tattoo. I wanted to try the H.I.P. ones because I've heard so many good things about those. BUT they're pretty expensive. These were on a 50% off sale, so why not? I grabbed this one in Painted Purple, purple has never let me down before and this looked like a good, rich color.

This eyeshadow promises crease-free, very pigmented eye color that doesn't smudge or smear for 24 hours. It does all of the above. Very creamy, went on smoothly, no creasing in the week I've worn it. No smell, nothing. It even works pretty well as a cream eyeliner.

My only issue with this product is that the color I got when applying to my eyelids doesn't match the color in the bottle. It came out like.... a pastel cornflower blue-ish purple. After a certain point it wouldn't build either.

It's nowhere close to how beautiful the color was in the bottle. I heard that H.I.P. eyeshadow pots come out exactly the same color. *sigh* but for $7.00, this was pretty worth it to find an eyeshadow I didn't have to constantly keep re-applying. My rating: 8/10

Onto the NYC Eyeliner duo. I got this one in Through The Storm because, once again, purple.

The purple was so pale, it barely showed up on me. And while it wrote smoothly (both sides) on my hand, it tugged on my eyelid to the point where I had a series of maybe 5 dots. No lines. The pencil is also so hard, no matter how lightly I press on the pencil, it HURTS! I didn't bother putting a picture up because I couldn't even get it on my eye. This cost about $4. Not worth it.

My rating: 1/10

Milani Ultra Fine Liquid Eyeliner review (picture heavy)

It's summer, time for colors :) I got 3 new eyeliners last night at CVS. They're from Milani, I got them in Prismatic Purple, Sparkling Turquoise, and Emerald Glisten. The colors are BEAUTIFUL. They retail for about $8 each, but I got them for BOGO 50% off. I didn't get a fourth one because the only color left was black and I have enough black eyeliner.

The colors really are prismatic. They're beautiful. The pigmentation is pretty good, the swatches are from after only one swipe. But you have to make sure you shake the bottle well.

The only color I've tried so far is Prismatic Purple. The blue in it makes the color deep and gorgeous. The brush was short so it was a bit difficult to apply. It didn't smudge or smear (dried in about a minute), but after 2 hours, the edges of my eyes felt caked up and the eye liner started flaking off. NOT GOOD. I've had to re-apply 3 times so far. The prismatic effect fades after about 2 hours, but the color is still bright and pretty.

I wish the staying power was better but the colors are amazing.

My rating: 8/10
