New Jordana Best Volume extreme Mascase brush Vs Benefit Bad Gal brush

 

So in the video I did today I happed to mention as soon as I opened up this new Jordana best volume mascara that it reminded me of a Benefit mascara (in the video I said They're Real but I misspoke it's the Bad Gal mascara I was thinking about-I do not own They're Real mascara) In any case as you can see from the picture the Jordana is BIGGER and also has a slightly different shape. The Benefit is easier to work with because of the taper at the end and also the angle of the taper of the brush is better in my opinion. I will go on record to say that I don't see myself repurchasing the Benefit or the Jordana best volume mascara any time soon just because the original Jordana Best Lash Extreme is my favorite and it's only $2.99 @ HEB. That's it for today. Let me know if you have any questions, as always I will try to answer the best I can. :)

Ask yourself...(push yourself)

 

So I'm on vacation this week from my "pay my bills job", and even though I do have things I have to do that are set in stone, I'm trying to prove to myself that I can and want to this makeup thing everyday of my life. I have committed to making  a video a day for my channel everyday this week. So far I have done two videos in two days and I have three days left. I'm happy because if I can prove it to myself then I know that I can do it. Three more days to go. If I can do that will be a great start for me. You know how they say that the harshest critic might be yourself for me that is the case sometimes so here's to proving it me that I CAN DO what I want to do because life it short. You have to do what makes you happy, right?  Makeup makes me happy. :)

Milani Uptown Mauve Swatches

 

Swatched on the hand

 

On the lips

 

My first impression of this lipstick is that it is very moisturizing and pretty pigmented as well. I have only wore it once or twice so that's all I can say for now but so far so good. Full review on this product is pending after I make up my mind. Let me know if you have any questions. TTYL,

Loreal Infalable slim Eyeliner Review 4 out of 5 ****

 

I put this in my recent July favorites video and so I wanted to do a full on review of this product for you guys. So here it is. Let me give you a bit of a back ground on my felt tip eyeliner experience. My experience with felt tip eyeliners is very limited in recent years. Yes when I was in high school I used them but that was a LONG time ago and so I will only tell you about my recent history with them. In the last few years I have only bought two different ones. The Avon felt pen and the Jordana Fabuline. Looking back on those I think I would rate those a 2 star product, maybe not even that. Those really put me off of felt tip eyeliners so I really didn't care to try anymore until I kept seeing the commercial for this one. Having said all that I picked this one up, knowing that it was more than I paid for the other ones I just mentioned. So since the day I first put it one I loved it! It does what it says. It stays put and it provides a very thin line if that's your thing. And you can make a thick line if you like that too! It stays on and provided your eyes don't water will be on until you take it off. The line itself is pretty black and pigmented. Which is one of the reasons I didn't like the Avon or Jordana liners. When I made my favorites video I mentioned that I thought it was drying out but now I have come to the conclusion that it's not drying out it's more like the tip has collected some of my oils off my skin that it doesn't let the product seap through the tip and made less product to come out. Similar to the effect when you wet your potted eye shadows they build up residue on them, sometimes not letting you use them anymore . I happened to use it today in the morning and pressed the belly of the felt tip on my upper lash line (using the side) and it worked fine that way. Product worked beautifully as it had when I first started using it. So it's not drying out, it's just got a dirty tip. So now I'm forced to make a rating on it knowing that it's just me and my skin making it do this. Because I have yet to hear this problem coming from someone else. SO this rating is purly for me and my experience it works for me great but not awesome but its because of ME and my oily lids...lol. I hope that make sense. Anyways the good news is that it has opened my eyes as far as felt tip eyeliners go and I will be on the quest to find one that works better for me. When I find a better one I will let you know but for now this one will due until it dries out. :)

**update 08-15-2013: I totally forgot to mention something in my review which I think is awesome about it. The line it creates is not shiny...I know that I have heard that from other felt tips liners but this one does NOT do that. Just had to let know you about that too because for me that is a great thing.

This is my favorite pencil eyeliner to date. I like it better than the Milani liquefy because this one doesn't dry out as much. If I ever find one that's better I will let you know... :)

Ulta Super shiny Lip butter

 

As you can see this lip butter has a good deal of pigmentation, and as a first impression it gave me pretty good moisture. I like it so far, looking forward to maybe adding so more to my collection. Thanks,
