+Day 12: Worst makeup product you ever bought?

Oh man, I don't come across horrible makeup very often so this is hard for me!

But, I think I have to go with Wet N Wild's mega liner liquid eyeliner! I even wrote a review on it over on beautylish !

"After reading a lot of reviews on this, I was super hopeful that I would love this! But alas, I have been quite dissapointed. I don't like how stiff the applicator tip is. I need a little flexibility with my liners and this does not have that. I know it says it's waterproof, and it is! But not being able to come off completely with makeup remover is a problem for me. I have to use makeup remover PLUS vaseline, which isn't so bad, but still a bit annoying. If i get too much on my eyes, it will find its was onto my lashes and clump them together. It's so awful trying to get it off of them and I'm left with red puffy eyes. I love all of Wet N Wild's products, but this was a huge miss for me."

+Day 11: What is your normal daily makeup?

I really don't do much at all for my day to day makeup! I put on a light dusting of powder all over my face and then do some kind of cat eye! Doesn't get any more simple than that in my book ;P

Rimmel London's Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent

In this photo i'm using Physician's Formula Eye Booster 2-in1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner

(Please excuse my grubby nails! I promise i'm painting them right after posting this! )

What I do is apply some of ELF's eye primer around my lashes and outer corner where I'll be placing the eyeliner. I've been testing out this eyeliner in particular the past few days so i can do a review on it in the upcoming week or so. So far, so good! I do set it with some black shadow, just out of habit from using my gel liner so often! Depending on how much time I have, I'll do a longer cat eye like being shown above. But if i'm in a hurry, I just do a little flick at the end of my lashes. I KNOW I should apply mascara, but the tube i've had needed to be thrown out and I've yet to find a replacement! 

Once my eyes are complete, I powder my face, focusing on my oily spots (T-Zone) and MAYBE put on some of FRESH's Sugar Lip Treatment. After that, i'm out the door and ready for the day! :)

+Day 10: Biggest makeup pet peeve?

When people wear concealer on their lips and contour their face and it looks like they used dirt and then black out their eyes.

It's not flattering or cute or accenting their natural beauty in any way and it's just plain gross to me. 

Other than that, I honestly cannot think of any at the time being!

What are your guys' pet peeves?

+Day 9: Last two makeup items you used up completely?

HMMM! That's a tough one! I would have to say my Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil and my Almay Intense I-color Eyeliner! 

This lip balm may be a bit pricey, but it's well worth it! It gets deep into your lips and leaves them so soft and smooth. It even gives them a red tint! I haven't had a chance to pick any more up, but I highly suggest you all try it! It's not waxy at all like some other products Burt's Bees puts out :)

LOVE this eyeliner! I had it in black and it was my favorite liner for my waterline! It stayed on very well and didn't bleed out under my lashes like a lot of liners do. I do believe it's hypoallergenic which is always a plus! The packaging is very lovely, with a twist up applicator and built in sharpener in the bottom! You really cannot go wrong with this bad boy here :)

+Day 8: How many new products do you purchase per month?

Oh man, probably about 4? I try to buy a couple new things every paycheck, and if it's something a bit pricey, then probably just two items a month! It's so easy to get carried away though, so I always do my research first on the product to make sure it's worth my time and money! 

The only exception I have to buying new products, is with the cheaper brands like Wet N Wild! I will happily buy a handful of their stuff without feeling bad :)

+Day 7: Eyeliner everyday? Liquid, pencil, or gel?

If not everyday, every other day! I do go days without makeup, just to give my face a rest ;)

But anyways, as of recently, I use all three! I finally obtained a liquid liner worthy of my money! In order, i'll share what ones I use :)

Liquid- Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum

Now I haven't used this product long enough to see any results with my lashes, BUT, I can say that this product has such stellar precision! The first day I used it, it was a bit streaky and flaked after reapplying. But the next day, I shook it harder and longer (hehehe) and tried angling it down towards my face. It came out smooth and very opaque! I'm in love with this!

Pencil- Wet N Wild Color Icon Brow & Eye Liner

For 69-99 cents, this stuff works really darn well! I have 4 colors in Sky Blue, Black Black, Amethyst, and Turquoise! They all blend pretty well and stay on nicely with a setting powder of some sort :) Very pigmented too!

Gel- Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner

I've had this eyeliner for a while now and It really is quite amazing! The brush isn't that bad either! The only con I have with this product is that it's a little too thick for my liking, BUT, because of that I feel it lasts longer. I would definitely purchase this product again!


Hope you all enjoyed today's challenge!

+Day 6: List every foundation you've ever used, from best to worst

In all honesty, I NEVER use foundation, although I have owned three over the past few years!

The best one was Revlon's ColorStay Foundation for Normal/Dry skin

It still didn't help my dry skin, it actually accentuated it in some spots. (around my nose) It felt kinda heavy and cakey to me, but then again, i'm not used to wearing foundation.

The other ones i've tried were L'Oreal True Match. It was the first foundation I ever used. I can't really give you guys a say on how it worked, because it was YEARS ago!  Sorry about that!

Finally, Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid was SUCH  a letdown! It had such good hype, but in the end, was just awful! It made my skin even more dry than it already was! After a couple of uses I just gave it to my mom. It seems to work for her!

Overall, I just stay away from foundations because my skin is just too stubborn! It's oily in my T-zone but drying around my nose! I just dust my face lightly in the oily areas, and, use concealer when needed. That works well for me! :)
