Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

This is my jam!!!!

Okay, first off I'm not sure any mascara is better than sex but.. This is close! I'm all about this mascara. Personally I'm a false lash addict. Gimme the fullest, thickest, most dramatic lashes! Some times I'll wear two pairs! So I'm picky with mascara. I like my lashes full and voluminous! This mascara is for you if you like thick dramatic lashes. If DiorShow, or MUFE Aqua black are among your favourites you'll love this. I'm fan of the dryer formula and big soft brush for drama and curl. I tend to stay away from wet formulas and plastic brushes .. So mascaras like Marc Jacobs and They're Real are not for me.

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Push-Up Liner

Practice makes perfect!

I was very skeptical about this product after hearing negative reviews. After getting my hands on it and playing around for a bit I fell in love. Here's why:

The formula! An ultra black, long lasting gel. Perfection. It's a dryer formula which is perfect for tight lining the eye. This is one of the longest lasting liners I have ever used, no smudging whatsoever. They make a remover specifically for it .. and for good reason .. It doesn't come off! That being said, almost any good eye makeup remover will do the job. Just don't be shocked when regular old soap and water doesn't so the trick!

Now.. The controversial bit.. The applicator!!! They describe this as a gel liner, in a pen, with an acuflex tip. I'm not that fancy.. It's basically your regular angled brush with gel already on it. There's definitely a learning curve but when you get it.. You'll love it! A brand new liner will take 10-15 clicks to get the product going, after that I use about 4 clicks for each eye.. Maybe more if I'm getting dramatic. The tip is super precise for wings and detail work... I'm in love you guys!! My advice: don't pass judgement too quickly. Hate it? Put it down for a few days then try again! I promise in time it will be your best friend!!

Anna Sui Lipstick V

Sheer wash of colour, ridiculously cute packaging!

Let's be honest, it's all about the packaging with Anna Sui! Everything about these are adorable, the tube, the actual star shaped lipstick, the soft shades.. Everything!! These definitely aren't going to be long wearing or super pigmented, however, if you're looking for a sheer wash of colour for everyday.. This is it! They feel great on my lips and the natural pop of colour is super wearable for everyone.
