This is the perfect eyeliner! I'm always asked how I get my eyeliner on so straight and I think to myself what is the big deal, it's simple just draw it on. Now after trying other eyeliners I know why people have such a hard time with it, it's the eyeliner type and brand that make all of the difference in the world! This eyeliner glides on so smooth and easily. It's not so soft that it just smashes when you are drawing but it's not so hard that you have to melt it with a lighter to soften it, I know you've all done it, lol!
You have so much control with the fine tip so that you can make your lines as thick or thin as you would like.
People always think I've used a liquid liner but there is no way I could get such a perfect line with liquid.
I love the fact that you never have to sharpen this liner, you just twist for more product to come out of the tube.
Best part of all is that this liner is waterproof but comes off very easily with soap and water unlike other waterproof eyeliners. I've even been swimming in the ocean and this liner stays put, even through tears.
I like to wear the darkest color #200 black onyx but it comes in several shades including
charcoal
espresso
chestnut
grey khaki
midnight blue
plum Velvet
starlightening
This eyeliner can be found at most drugstores and if you want to find a really great deal you can always shop online! I have found some really great deals on Ebay especially in bulk!
Retails for around $7 in stores
TIPS
1.If you don't want your eyeliner to look so harsh, after applying take a cu tip or finger (finger works best for me) and lightly smudge the liner so the line isn't so distinct, especially on the bottom lash line. This method also works great for creating the smokey eye.
2. If you want to try different shades of eyeliner before buying or just for fun, after applying your black eyeliner get your favorite shade of shimmering eyeshadow with a cu tip and roll it gently over the lash line covering the liner. This will completely transform your liner color.
I have a cosmetic shopping addiction. I have searched high and low to find the perfect formulas. I buy high end, department and low priced cosmets and give honest reviews. I hope my addiction can be of help to all of you make up lovers :)

Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara (my favorite)
This is my very favorite Mascara and I have tried hundreds!
I like my lashes to look full and dramatic. This mascara gives you extreme fullness and lengthens great for a volume mascara. No clumps, the lashes don't stick together but there aren't the big gaps either. I can keep adding layers with out it drying to fast if I want an extreme look, but this mascara is thick enough that most people would not need to layer it. I have very short blond eyelashes so I like to pile it on. Another great thing about this mascara is that it doesn't get on your brow or under your eye when you open your eyes wide after dried like I have had happen with other products. The brush is big bushy and semi soft, very comfortable when applying. I have not tried the waterproof so the formula may be different for that. I have a different waterproof favorite that I will discuss in another post. This mascara washes off easily with soap and water.
As with all mascara's the first two applications don't count because you see the best results after about the third application, once the brush is completely saturated.
Tips:
1.Don't pump your brush in and out of the tube to saturate, this pushes air back into the tube and causes the product to dry out quickly, instead move the brush in a circular motion inside the tube.
2.If your mascara seems to be clumping after a while and just not going on right then get a rag or make up cleansing cloth and clean the brush. Make sure all mascara is removed and then dry brush and insert back inside tube. Good as new unless of coarse you are out, lol
3. If you want the best eyebrow brush ever then after you are out of your mascara remove the brush and cleanse it completely and get to work on those brows! I have been doing this for years and it works better that any eyebrow brush! I have not used this particular brand for an eyebrow brush but give it a try and see if it works for you.
I do have a runner up to this mascara and a favorite water proof that I will be posting about soon. I will also post a list of mascara's that I did not like and reasons why. Thanks for reading and come back for more!
