Essence Kajal Eye Pencil- Neon Sweetie

Months ago I went shopping at Target and never got to do this review, since I never ended up using this eyeliner daily, but I did use it one day while finding a new eye look.

So Essence is usually found at Target and Priceline, I found this at Targets bargain basket filled with Essence products, this eyeliner was $1 so I bought 2 since my favourite colour is yellow and I love eyeliners!

It claims it has high precision application and is long-lasting.

I found it pretty odd how they were the same colours on the packaging but on the product one was a lighter yellow than the other. 

Pros:

-Pigmented

-Soft

-Easy to apply
-Colour is buildable

Cons:

-Didn't last long, if you touched it it would fade almost immediately!

-The colour is discontinued I think, I can't find the colour anymore.

Nails of the Week!

This weeks nails I finally stopped my procrastinating ways and did Totoro Nails!

Totoro has probably been my all time favourite movie! I remember watching this film when I was little and watching most of the studio ghibli films. It's a great childhood film! I probably have an obsession with Totoro now.

Left-Right: Clear, Midnight, Lily White, Earl Grey and base coat.

Haul!

Went out yesterday to go buy a lace skirt at JayJays but sadly they ran out so I went and bought some stuff to cheer myself up!

Australis Deodorant Body Spray- $3.79 @ Priceline

I was walking bad to the checkout when I passed the deodorant section, I went to see if Impulse was on sale but then I saw another deodorant which was around $2 cheaper than the Impulse deodorant, the Australia! They had a range of different smells but the Vanilla Dream caught my eye because it was yellow and smelt so nice, like vanilla. Smells so yummy!

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe- $9.56 @ Priceline

Saw this on the Priceline catalogue on sale and I was so tempted to buy them all but I really wanted the taupe colour since I really never owned a taupe colour and the colour looked so natural on the lid so I finally bought it!

Rubi Lulu Beret in Lemonade & Soft Grey- $5 each @ Rubi Shoes

I have never owned a beret before so I was really excited when I saw this on the Cotton On website! They were $5 each so I went in store at Rubi Shoes and found them at the back where the saled items go, most of the grey berets were marked as $10 but I found on at the very back behind the yellow berets marked at $5. Can't wait to wear them out!

Rimmel London Glam'Eyes Professional Liquid Liner - Black Glamour

Popped into Priceline during the weekend just to go buy some new makeup products!
I saw in the Rimmel London area, some products were on sale and lucky for me that I needed a new liquid eyeliner to try out after my Dollywink Liquid Liner sadly ran out. I had to choose between 2 liquid eyeliners, one was just $2-$3 extra and was actually smaller so I just bought this one.

Bought the one in Black Glamour. Just the usual black liquid eyeliner.

Price: $9.56

Most liquid eyeliners were actually around the $10 price range so I just made up my mind to buy and try!

 It contained 3.5ml which isnt too bad. I think the Dollywink has more product though. So the Dollywink would be more worth it!

Packaging: 4/5

When I bought this and went home I didnt realise that it was already opened by someone else. The part where the lid and where the product is stored would usually be taped together but mine was broken so that people could open it. I was too lazy to refund it so I just left it. So if anyone is going to buy this make sure it is securely taped before buying! Now onto the applicator..

The brush tip is actually pretty thin but can also make thick lines. What I like about this is that it is a brush applicator and it is really easy to use (in my opinion). If you didnt know, my eyes are actually uneven, one has 2 creases on my eyelid so I have to make my eyeliner thicker than the other and this eyeliner is easy to do so. I can easily make a thin line on one eye and a  thicker line on the other.

Pros:

-Dries matte

-Lasts a long time without smudging, fading or flaking if untouched throughout the day!

-Really easy to remove

Cons:

-Takes a while to dry if you put too much product
-It's not waterproof, I repeat! It will smudge if water gets onto it.
-Can be hard to use the applicator if you arnt used to it

Lasts a long time even after my eyelid starts to get oily, it's amazing!

I really do recommend this to anyone who's looking for a liquid liner for an everyday use! I replaced this with my Dollywink and I'm in love with it at the moment, though Dollywink is still my all time favourite liquid liner!

Nails of the Week!

It's more of a deep peach colour.

Bought this at MyChemist because it was on sale and I was looking for a peachy/coraly colour!

The colour isnt exactly 100% the same as the picture, on my nails it looks like a bright pink/orange kind of like a neon. Maybe because it crashes with my olive skin. But 3 coats of it is enough to make it opaque.

Latest Haulage!

Went out shopping today! After saving up for my camera I'm now free to buy my makeup again!

Ecotools Powder Brush- $17.99 @ Priceline

I was contemplating between the powder brush or the set that had the blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, eyebrow/lash, concealer brushes for $34 but I didnt have enough so I just bought the powder. Finally bought a brush for my powder foundation. 

Rimmel London Glam'Eyes Professional Liquid Liner in 001 Black Glamour- $9.56 @ Priceline

Needed a new liquid eyeliner and I saw this on sale so I decided to try it out.

Rimmel London I Love Lasting Finish in 053 Apricot Punch- $2.95 @ MyChemist

Saw this on the MyChemist catalogue, used to be $5.95 so I saved $3! I usually only buy nail polish if it is under $3. I bought the Apricot Punch because I really love peachy/coraly nail colours. 

Ulta3 Nail Polish in Earl Grey- $2 @ Target

Was walking through the aisles and saw a grey nail polish which seems really rare so I bought it and the grey colour reminded me of Totoro, im hoping to do some Totoro nail art sometime.

Storage Boxes- $2.80 Each @ Daiso

Since I bought more nail polishes I had no more space on my desk so I bought the white stackable boxes and for the yellow box, it has a magnet at the back to stick it on a fridge and lucky for me my desk is actually next to the fridge so it would come in handy to store my pens & pencils!

Maybelline One by One Mascara- Blackest Black

Bought the Washable Maybelline One by One Mascara awhile back when it was on sale. But I was waiting until I got my camera so I could get good pictures of the wand. 

Got the one in Blackest Black

Back in the day's when I used my iphone camera...

On the back it claimed that it was:

•  Exclusive lash catcher brush catches, coats and de-clumps every single lash for our most refined volume from root-to-tip.
• Instant clump-free volume.
• Ophthalmologist tested
• Contact lens safe

This is actually the second mascara that I have ever used so I can only compare it with my first (Maybelline The Falsies).

Price: $10

Like I said, it was on sale at Priceline for $10. I had to choose between all the Maybelline mascaras but I chose the Maybelline One by One because I heard some really good reviews on it on Youtube so I decided to try it and see how it goes. I also bought the washable one because the waterproof mascaras are a pain to take off. 

Packaging: 4/5

Just like most of the other Maybelline mascaras, they have the same tube shape which I find pretty cool considering that it makes me want to collect them all! 

When you open the tube you get this massive wand and sadly leftover mascara product at the end that I end up scraping off (is there any mascara that doesnt do this?).

Anyways the wand is actually bendy which I like and has rubber bristles! (also a bonus for me)

Close up of the bristles.

Product: 5/5

The mascara really does lengthen & volumise your lashes if you give it a few coats. I only do 1 coat of mascara because I like the way it defines my lashes without it looking un-natural. The thing about this mascara is it makes it look like you're wearing false lashes! So I put on the mascara and left it until my mum came back home and she thought I was wearing false lashes, pretty amazing right?

But what I really like about this mascara is that it lasts the whole day without smudging and its not waterproof and I have super oily eyelids... I love this mascara. But this does flake a lot, I found so much flakes underneath my eye at the end of the day, but as long as it doesnt smudge Im happy so I didn't really mind the flaking.

This is also really easy to remove, just removing it with water or makeup remover, I remove it with warm water.

Conclusion:

This is my favourite mascara currently!
