Review:L'oreal Lineur Intense Brush Tip Eyeliner in Carbon Black

This is my first brush tip liquid eye liner. I usually go for felt tips because it's easier to control when applying. However, I was running low on my liquid eye liner and decided to use this opportunity to try out something different because I was curious, especially after watching Michelle Phan use this particular product.

Pros

• The Carbon Black verson is a very deep black colour, which I like on myself. If you find very dark eye liners to harsh for you then I recommend you try the regular black or the brown version.
  
• Has A LOT of product in it (7ml) compared to most liquid eye liners(2.5ml).
  
• Very easy to create a thin line as long as you have a steady hand
• Stays on all day as long as you don't rub your eyes
  
• No raccoon eyes because it flakes off instead of smudges
  

Cons

• Harder to control because it has a long wand.
  
• If you apply more after one coat has dried, it flakes off easily especially if you keep touching your eyes
• Definitely not suitable for water rides (even though Michelle Phan used it in her Theme Park Tutorial). Mine completely came off after Cliffhanger at Wonderland.

My rating 4.5/5
I would definitely buy this product again, whenever it runs out that its. That probably won't be for a very very long time.
Keep in mind that I'm not easily disappointed by products.

Green Tea

I absolutely love a billion things about green tea! It's my favorite type of tea (very awesome with sushi! XD) and one of my favourite flavours of ice cream. Mmmmm... :] But most of you probably already know that it's very good for your health and can be used for beauty benefits as well when applied directly to the skin.

Green tea naturally rich in anti oxidents which protects the skin from free radicals. It has the power to renew skin cells treating problems such as aging, blemishes, and UV damage.

I recently started doing this green tea eye treatment for dark circles and puffiness because I have the worst sleeping habits and catch myself doing very unproductive things at 5 in the morning :D Basically, all you need to do is put the tea bags under your eyes for 15 minutes I believe?
There are many ways you can do this but I decided to follow SecretLifeOfABioNerd's method because you only use one tea bag to make a batch that will last you for over a week. You are saving tea bags and time as well.

She is definitely one of my fav DIYers

With the left over green tea, you can add more water and drink the rest of it or like me, put it in an empty spray bottle and use it as a toner.

lololololololol.

The first morning I tried this, I didn't notice how puffy my eyes were when I woke up until I used the frozen green tea cotton pads and felt a dramatic difference. My eyes felt completely refreshed and all the puffiness went away.
It doesn't hurt to try this. It's SUPER inexpensive and you probably have all the items needed for this at home already.

Until next time.

Review: Clean and Clear Night Cream

Believe it or not, but I have a list of products on my itouch that I have used and would review on my blog, when I'm bored or have nothing to blog about when I feel like blogging. So I thought I would actually go ahead and start something from there.

So I will be reviewing the Clean and Clear Soft Oil Free Moisturizer - Night.
I got this for free at some Christmas party a long time ago, but didn't start using it til a couple of months ago.

Short story. I was in the wash room and I saw this Clean and Clear daily facial scrub that was probably one of my brothers, so I thought I would give it a try just for that day. My face turned red... and stayed red. My face got all these random dry patches everywhere X_x. I swear it was like eczema on my face or something. It didn't really go away until my sister was like "Oh you should use my night cream." (which was not the Clean and Clear one by the way). It was this brand called Pur that's only at Shoppers Drug Mart and their line is a lot cheaper. The next day, there was such a big improvement on my skin! So then I thought that maybe I should use night cream often.

I decided to start using the Clean and Clear one I had at home.
It works okay for me.

• If you put too much of it on your face, it'll start rubbing off into little balls and you cannot blend it back into your skin or anything.
  
• Sometimes it burns my skin a bit after I wash my face or get out of the shower. I don't have sensitive skin.
• I sometimes get small dry patches on my cheeks and this moisturizer doesn't do that much to help it.
  
• It stings my eyes. No, I did not put it in my eye. If I put this anywhere around my eyes, they sting a bit!
• The packaging looks fine, but it looks exactly like their day moisturizer. So, that would be a problem for people who own both products in case they accidentally reach for the night one to use during the day. On the bottle for the night moisturizer, it says that it will increase the risk of sun burn if used during the day. So yeah. That sucks =]
  

I give this a 2/5? I guess. I'm not good with ratings! XD
I would definitely not buy this I can say for sure.

I think I am about over half way through the bottle. I was planning on just using all of it up and then moving back to the Pur one because I don't want to waste it even though I got it for free. Buuut I don't really want to use it anymore! lol

I guess my skin isn't very good with Clean and Clear.
